Maxi design, grand proportions, supersize scale, larger than life presence – all these are terms bandied about in reference to the movement of the oversized home design. From oversized mirrors and large wall art to statement chandeliers and extra-large sculptures, follow our tips on how to use oversized decor in your home design!
Large Chandeliers
GET THE LOOK
We take great pride in providing clients with the highest quality modern luxury design pieces and the Newton suspension lamp is a handcrafted piece that has something unique about it. It’s a monumental piece that authenticates Boca do Lobo‘s designers and artisans’ work. Gorgeous!
How To Use It
Thinking that large chandeliers can only be used singularly is a big misconception. Try mixing several of the same style at different heights in the center of a room to create a statement cluster of cascading light.

Drawing inspiration from the Victorian era, the Lumiere suspension lamp exemplifies the contemporary dualities of art and functionality. Hanged by two chains, a striking broken pole lies as an antique fixture with four intricate edge detailing arms topped by elegant pane lanterns hand-sculpted by casting molds.
For a more classic look, opt for large pendant light over a sizeable centerpiece, such as a grand dining table or kitchen island. Hang two large chandeliers at either end with the aim being for them to cover approximately a third of the surface each, with a central section in the middle kept free.

The Supernova chandelier was born from the cataclysmic explosion of a massive star. The instant of a bright starburst that was suspended into a fascinating lighting design. Take a look at the brass particles– it will offer you a timeless and magnificent setting.
Oversized Art
A picture says a thousand words, whereas a supersized painting says many a word more.
How To Use It
Oversized art, be it large canvas prints or framed scenes, is a fantastic way to celebrate color and create movement. It can unite the tones used in home design to establish a firm palette or it can behave like a complete contradiction.
Not only that, art serves to proclaim a lot about your personality, and this is only dramatized further in correlation with the scale of the piece. So use it to say loudly and proudly which artistic movement motivates you, whether that reinforces your reigning interior design style or brings in a new, intriguing dimension.
Large Mirrors
GET THE LOOK
Through a passionate explosion of romance and drama, the Venice mirror stirs emotion in anyone that catches its eye. Hand cut and carved by an experienced artisan whose passion for glasswork goes back as far as his childhood. Venice represents Boca do Lobo’s ambition to bring value to true craftsmanship through contemporary design.
How To Use It
Creators of light and enlargers of space, oversized mirrors promise to up the ante on what more modest mirrors already offer in abundance.

The Lumiere console table is a sculptural set composed of a large wall mirror, lamp and console in one arched frame made of wood, folded by polished stainless steel that portrays a perfect mirror. Through the manual fitting of gold hammered brass sheet bursts an antique fixture with an intricate edge detailing arm topped by an elegant hand-sculpted lantern.
A round mirror lends openness, a long mirror naturally elongates or gives the guise of a wider room depending on how it is hung, and a large square or rectangular mirror typically offers the impression of a higher ceiling due to how it mimics its shape.
Oversized Sculptures
A reminder that decorative objects in the home design need not be reserved for art and smaller objects.
Whether a large Buddha statue or a strikingly slender contemporary sculpture (perhaps in glass or polished marble to catch the eye), oversized sculptures are an untapped source of design gravitas. They make an unabashedly confident statement. Larger proportions can render a sculpture even more present, more dramatic or more unexpected.
