Plinths and podiums have been trending for a while now. If you look back at home tours featured in the last few months (here, here and here, to show you a few), you’ll spot a socle or a plinth somewhere. I’ve also started a Pinterest board with inspiring pictures, if you are interested.
At home, we’ve built our own with pieces of wood and painted MDF boards. If DIY projects aren’t your things, Menu has a few gorgeous plinths in white* or black* marble. I also like the solid square log by Studio DRY.

Sculptural appeal
Also called a pedestal or a stand, it can be used to display a bust, a pile of books, a plant or a lamp. With the rising popularity of plinths also comes a growing interest for sculptures and other eye-catching pieces. There are more and more of them in residential interiors, from simple to precious, handpicked for their beauty. Elegant objects and exquisite curiosities add interest and a striking, personal touch to any room. And displayed on a socle, we are putting them into the spotlight, elevating them and enhancing their artistic quality.
Here, I’m sharing 18 beautiful and captivating pieces that are perfect decorative details and accessories to showcase proudly on your plinth. All sources after the jump.
