3 Ways To Use Bold Colour and Sculptural Elements to Refresh Your Space!

Introducing colour and sculptural pieces can bring new life and character into your space. We believe the right accent pieces can tie a space together by using pops of colour, interesting materials and unique shapes.

Here are some of our tips and guiding concepts to help you make a statement in your home!

1. Set the Backdrop

We understand not everyone is daring to use bold colours on large furniture.?When planning your space, consider using neutral tones/materials for furniture like couches, chairs, tables or consoles. They act as anchor points throughout the space providing you with the opportunity to fill in the rest with colour and interesting elements. ?

Look for larger pieces that incorporate multiple materials like wood, metal or fabric as this is a great way to create an interesting backdrop for your accent pieces to play off. It is possible that some of your existing pieces are already bold and colourful and this is okay too as they can be a jumping-off point for the rest of your space.?

If you need an extra boost of inspiration to get started, Pinterest is great for some ideas.?

2. Let the Shapes Speak to you

Sculptural pieces can be divided into two categories, figurative and abstract. Figurative pieces are representational, depicting human forms, animals or other common objects. Abstract pieces do not depict the likeness of anything and are non-representational. Using sculptural pieces from these categories can change the look and feel of your space and makes it fun to mix in organic and geometric elements.

Adding bold geometric shapes can create moments of excitement in your space, especially when using an accent colour within your established colour scheme. Experimenting with solids and voids helps to add variety within the room and greatly impacts the overall look and feel.

Objects that are larger with smooth surfaces can have a visual weight that helps a space feel grounded while objects with thin lines or transparent elements add a light and airy feel.?

3. Establish a Colour Scheme

Colour is an easy and effective way to put a personal touch on a space, from bright and fresh to dark and moody and everything in between. The right colour scheme helps to tie a space together by creating impactful visual moments that express your unique personality.?

Choosing colours can at times feel daunting or overwhelming which is why we recommend starting simple, thinking big picture and refining your scheme until it feels just right. When figuring out your colour scheme, think about the entire space as one big painting, each piece within it should feel connected but not “matchy-matchy”.

These colours can be warm or cool and can be scattered throughout your space in the form of small objects on tables, accent cushions, or other decor—the possibilities are endless.?

In our Church?project, blue was the colour predominantly used with pink and orange accents sprinkled throughout to creative cohesiveness and balance.?

In Summary:

Adding colour and sculptural elements brings your space to the next level while expressing your personal style.
