Nothing pulls together a room quite like a quality statement piece. The first thing that catches your eye when you enter the room, statement pieces capture a glimpse of your unique personality, infusing your space with a personal touch that adds character.
An intriguing conversation piece, living with a statement piece of art can evoke fond memories and sparks of joy. The story behind how you acquired a piece, what it means to you, and the way that it transforms your room offers your guests a window into what matters to you.
Choosing a statement piece that you really love or one that’s tied to a fond memory makes it all the more meaningful to live with in your space, reflecting who you truly are.
While the point of a statement piece is to capture interest, it can also pull together the entire design of the room, acting as an inspirational jumping off point for the rest of your decor, or tying together what you already have.
When choosing a statement piece, let yourself have fun and play with different ideas, allowing yourself to envision how things would look if you let your statement piece really stand out within the room.
Here are seven ways you can make a statement in your home with glass art.
1. Entryway
Catch their eye and make a statement than when they first walk in the door with a bold piece of glass art.

Whether you enjoy bright pops of color or a more earthy, muted color palette, decorating your entry way with a gorgeous piece of glass art will captivate your guests the moment they walk through the door.
Style your statement piece on a well-lit side table or a pedestal by a window.

6. Home Office
Having artwork that you enjoy in your office could improve your mood, and your performance.
Choose something you love and place it in your workspace in a place where you can see it often.
If your office has a more subtle muted color scheme, choose a piece that brings in bright pops of color. If you’d like something more calming, choosing ocean-inspired pieces will soothe your mind.
