Purchase a pedestal, high table or statue stand. Place it in an area of your home that is open and spacious to enhance the sculpture's visibility. Polish the stand thoroughly and place your sculpture on it.

2
Put the sculpture on top of your fireplace. Most fireplaces have built-in shelves that you can use to display pictures, school degrees, awards and sculptures. Place it in the middle of the fireplace shelf as a centerpiece.

Create a wall shelf and place the sculpture on it. Carve your own shelf or purchase one from a home improvement store. Make sure that it is large enough to support the weight of your sculpture, and attach the shelf to a wall in a location where the sculpture will stand out.

4
Place the sculpture outside of your home. Put small or large sculptures in your backyard, on your patio or in your garden to beautify these areas. Allow large sculptures, such as statues, to stand alone, and build or purchase a concrete or brick stand for small sculptures.
