MOVA Decorating Tip: Playing with Shapes and Sizes

MOVA Creations naturally draw the eye with their graceful, self-rotating motion – but there are even more ways to make them the centrepiece of your space. In our new Decorating Tip blog series, we’ll be sharing practical advice inspired by our experience styling MOVA Globes for photography and display.

Our first tip? Embrace contrast by playing with shapes and sizes.

Create Visual Depth with Variety

Rather than placing your MOVA Globe on its own, try arranging it with objects of varying heights, forms, and textures. Think picture frames, candles, vases, potted plants, figurines, or small lamps. Grouping a MOVA Globe with contrasting décor pieces adds depth and makes the overall arrangement far more visually compelling.

Place some items in the foreground and others in the background to create layers. Not only does this add movement and dimension to your space, but it also provides context and personality to your decor. You're telling a story through design – and the MOVA Globe is the star of the scene.

Let the Motion Speak

The magic of a MOVA Creation lies in its movement. When paired with static items, the contrast becomes even more striking. As your eye takes in the display, the gentle rotation naturally draws attention to the globe, highlighting its uniqueness.

By mixing stationary elements of differing shapes and scales around it, the MOVA Globe’s movement is accentuated, creating a dynamic and balanced composition.

Styling Inspiration

Try these combinations:

• A tall candle holder, a mid-height plant, and a MOVA Globe on a stack of books.

• A small lantern, your MOVA Globe, and a photo frame leaning behind for depth.

• A tray with decorative pebbles, your globe in the centre, and a succulent pot off to the side.

Play around with the placement until the arrangement feels harmonious – a little experimentation goes a long way!
