How to Choose an XXL Sculpture (100–300+ cm)
Share
A statement piece that defines the room
An XXL sculpture isn’t decoration. It’s a focal point that gives structure to a space—whether it’s a private villa, a modern apartment, a luxury retail environment, or a hotel lobby.
1) Pick the right size: 100 cm to 300+ cm
Think in proportions, not just centimeters. Use these as practical ranges:
-
100–150 cm: strong presence without dominating the room (ideal for apartments, corners, near a console, or a refined entryway).
-
160–220 cm: true “statement” territory (living rooms, double-height areas, architectural staircases).
-
230–300+ cm: gallery-scale impact (lobbies, outdoor terraces, large open-plan villas).
-
Custom-made: when you want a perfect match for a specific volume, ceiling height, or brand identity.
Pro tip: leave “breathing space” around the sculpture (at least 60–120 cm of visual clearance depending on the room).
2) Choose a style that matches your architecture
At MONUMENTA, the most common design directions are:
-
Realistic: powerful, high-impact, instantly recognizable.
-
Abstract: timeless, contemporary, and more “art-driven.”
-
Angular / geometric: sharp lines, bold energy, modern architecture friendly.
3) Finish matters: glossy vs matte
Finishes change everything in real life:
-
Glossy: premium shine, high contrast, strong visual drama—amazing in minimal spaces.
-
Matte: softer, architectural, design-forward—perfect when you want elegance without glare.
4) Placement: where it becomes unforgettable
Best placements for an XXL sculpture:
-
Entrance / foyer: instant “wow” factor.
-
Living room: near a clean wall, a large window, or a central axis line.
-
Staircase / mezzanine: verticality makes the piece feel larger and more dramatic.
-
Terrace / garden: the sculpture becomes a landmark.
5) Lighting: the upgrade that changes everything
A sculpture looks 2x more premium with:
-
a subtle spotlight (warm, angled),
-
indirect lighting behind the piece,
-
a clean background (stone, wood, microcement, or white walls).
Custom-made (bespoke) sculptures
If you have a specific size, color, finish, or a unique installation constraint, a bespoke piece allows you to align the sculpture with your exact space and design intent.
