Finding the Right Sculptures for You
Styling your home with vintage, new and antique sculptures means adding a touch that can meaningfully transform the space. By introducing a sculptural work as a decorative finish to any interior, you’re making a statement, whether you tend toward the dramatic or prefer to keep things casual with modest, understated art.
A single, one-of-a-kind three-dimensional figurative sculpture mounted on your dining room wall is a guaranteed conversation piece, while a trio of abstract works arranged on your living room bookshelves can add spontaneity to the collection of first-edition novels or artist monographs you’re displaying as well as draw attention to them. Figurative sculptures are representational works that portray a specific person, animal or object. And while decorating with busts, which are sculpted or cast figurative works, hasn’t exactly topped the list of design trends every year, busts are back. According to designer Timothy Corrigan, “They give humanity in a way that a more abstract sculpture can’t give.” Abstract sculptures, on the other hand, are not meant to show something specific. Instead, they invoke a mood or scene without directly stating what they are portraying.
Busts made of stone or metal may not seem like a good fit for your existing decor. Fortunately, there are many ways for a seemingly incongruous piece to fit in with the rest of your room’s theme. You can embrace a dramatic piece by making it the focal point of the room, or you can choose to incorporate several elements made out of the same material to create harmony in your space. If an antique or more dramatic piece doesn’t feel like you, why not opt for works comprising plastic, fiberglass or other more modern materials?
When incorporating sculpture into the design of your home — be it the playful work of auction hero and multimedia visionary KAWS, contemporary fiber art from Connecticut dealer browngrotta arts or still-life sculpture on a budget — consider proper lighting, which can bring out the distinctive aspects of your piece that deserve attention. And make sure you know how the size and form of the sculpture will affect your space in whole. If you choose a sculpture with dramatic design elements, such as sharp angles or bright colors, for example, try to better integrate this new addition by echoing those elements in the rest of your room’s design.
Get started on decorating with sculpture now — find figurative sculptures, animal sculptures and more on 1stDibs today.
Questions About Used Kinetic Sculptures
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022If a sculpture is kinetic, it moves and that movement is part of how the artist conveys the meaning of the work. Kinetic sculptures may feature motors, electronic displays and other components that create the movement. Find a selection of kinetic sculptures on 1stDibs.
- Can tusk be used for sculpture?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023Yes, ivory tusks can be used for sculptures and figurines. However, the U.S. and many other countries have banned the import of ivory, meaning many artists no longer work with the material. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of sculptures from some of the world's top galleries.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To produce his sculptures, Pablo Picasso used many different materials. He worked in clay, metal and bronze for many pieces. In addition, he gathered discarded everyday objects, discarded paper and used wood to produce some of his work. You'll find a range of Pablo Picasso art on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Henry Moore used holes in his sculptures to create the illusion that his work was growing from an empty center. His sculptures Oval with Points and Double Oval are two examples of the technique. You'll find a selection of Henry Moore art on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Richard Serra prefers to use steel for his sculptures. He narrows that down and reports that rolled Cor-Ten steel with an evenly rusted surface is his favorite medium.

Shop a selection of Richard Serra pieces from some of the world’s top art dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Louise Nevelson used found wooden forms and made sculptures in steel, aluminum, plexiglass and other materials.

Shop a selection of Louise Nevelson pieces from some of the world’s top art dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Auguste Rodin used a variety of materials for his sculptures, including bronze, marble, plaster and clay. One of his most famous works, The Thinker, is a bronze piece mounted on a stone pedestal. Find a selection of Auguste Rodin art on 1stDibs.
