silly sculptures? gigantic globes? how to deal with your super fun, super strange stuff!

Love that huge silly globe? Is that fabulously awful foot sculpture not getting proper attention? Here are some tips to make even the most unusual objects fit seamlessly into your home!

1. An oversize object too big for a shelf or or a side table? Try the floor; especially if the item is playful. Framed by curtains a super large globe or sculpture looks as if it's on stage. These items can bring kick to a corner and possibly hide a radiator or other unappealing objects.

2. And large bed in a small space? Rule of thumb: the top of a bed frame should be at least six inches from the ceiling. If the frame is open and airy, the space won't feel claustrophobic. White walls can highlight the lines of the bed to a crisp effect. Dark paint or wallpaper will add impact if you incorporate some of the color from the bed onto the walls.

3. A stately/huge chair? Play up the drama of a striking seat by making it the first thing you see in the room. Give it an equally grand companion, such as a large lamp or side table, to help it make sense among simpler pieces. Use the same color palette as your existing furniture and the larger object will feel right at home.

4. Quirky statue? Use something less form than a bust and funnier than a horse head such as an anatomy sculpture. Place it in a conspicuous spot, like on a side table or by the entryway as a door stop. The item will elicit question and smiles!

5. A graphic rug? A bold pattern on the floor gives a focal point to a room with a mix of furniture styles - it's unifier. To ease into the look, start with a neutral sisal, top it with a subtle strip, then put the showiest rug on top. Worried about the pattern overload? A solid (rather than glass) coffee tale with mitigate the effect.

6. A cool sculptural table lamp? You don't need to use a task lamp for it's intended purpose. If you have a stunner, you can use it as ambient lighting by putting it on a side table in a corner. Switched on and placed in front of fabulous window treatments or painted walls, it will cast a special glow.

7. Modern chandelier? A contemporary light can jibe with a classic piece if the finishes match. Set against a traditional mirror it can give you twice the impact and light. Or set over a transitional table with similarly shaped objects as centerpieces to echo the overhead shapes and features.

8. An open table? Use the space inside for an unexpected display. Place a light with in the cage of the open table. Or use a cool scuplture piece to give an unexpected "birdhouse effect" to the object inside.
