Have smaller pieces of art that have detailed works on them and place them on cabinets or coffee tables. It would increase your guests’ curiosity and will have a sense of excitement.
When placing a bigger sculpture, have a pedestal or stand dedicated for the piece. The stand shouldn’t have any engravings or markings and should project the art piece in the room. Additionally, having the right background colour would make a world of difference.
