Hi, I’m Kala Lewis, founder of Minima, and here’s a little-known fact about me: I have an obsession with architectural and sculptural elements in interior design! Whether it’s a bold archway, a stunning staircase, or a beautifully crafted sculptural chair, these details add depth, character, and artistry to any space.

My love for these elements stems from their ability to transform interiors into works of art. They turn everyday rooms into immersive experiences, blending form and function in ways that spark curiosity and inspire connection.

Let me share three ways I love incorporating sculptural and architectural elements into my designs—and how you can bring these touches into your own space.

1. Creating Focal Points with Statement Pieces

Every room needs a standout feature, and sculptural elements often steal the show. I love incorporating furniture or decor that doubles as art—think a hand-carved wooden coffee table, an oversized ceramic vase, or a chaise lounge with bold, curving lines. These pieces draw the eye, start conversations, and set the tone for the entire space.

Pro Tip: Choose one or two sculptural pieces per room to avoid overwhelming the space. A single statement chair or a dramatic light fixture can make all the difference.

2. Highlighting Architectural Details

From arched doorways to coffered ceilings, architectural details are like the jewelry of a home—they add elegance and personality. I enjoy accentuating these features with thoughtful design choices, such as painting an arch in a contrasting color, adding texture to wall panels, or installing dramatic crown molding to create visual impact.

Pro Tip: If your home doesn’t already have architectural features, consider incorporating them with modern updates like adding a faux arch or installing textured wall paneling.

3. Layering Sculptural Accessories

When it comes to styling, sculptural accessories are my secret weapon. I love using items like abstract sculptures, geometric candleholders, and handwoven baskets to add texture and dimension to a space. These smaller elements can be swapped out seasonally, allowing you to keep your design fresh and dynamic.

Pro Tip: Group accessories in odd numbers and vary their heights for a balanced, visually interesting display.

Why I’m Passionate About These Elements

For me, sculptural and architectural features represent more than just aesthetics—they symbolize the perfect union of art and practicality. They evoke emotion, tell stories, and create unforgettable spaces. At Minima, I aim to incorporate these elements in ways that feel timeless, intentional, and uniquely tailored to my clients’ lifestyles.
