Interior Interest: Decorative Busts as Decor

Decorative Busts as Decor

I am currently working on a project that will feature busts as a focal in a room. These figures provide an artful and mysterious feel to a space instantly. They can be quite realistic! Busts can be done in a variety of materials including plaster, bronze and marble. This classical art form captures the likeness of famous historical figures, Greek and Roman gods, composers, musicians and other creative artists.

I love the drama created when a designer uses many in a space. Multiples allow for a gallery like feel to a room. These arrangements create stories from times long ago. Of course you can choose to add just one to your room to create a focal piece too.

I have found a few sources while doing research to find the style I needed. The links to these sites are listed below. Keep in mind, you don't have to go the classical bust route, there are modern interpretations out there if you want to be more contemporary.
