The object that has two sides

A vase or carved object may look different from another seat. Before choosing its position, turn it slowly and look from the viewpoints you actually use.
Place the object on a stable clear surface, away from its edge. Compare the view from the doorway and from the sofa. A small turn may reveal a handle or a patch of glaze that makes the arrangement more interesting.
Do not keep moving a fragile or valuable object merely to achieve a perfect angle. Handle it safely and seek appropriate advice if its condition is uncertain. The display should be easy to live around as well as pleasing to view.
