Examples of 3D pyramid shapes found in the home include decorative items like pyramid-shaped bookends, paperweights, or sculptures. Additionally, some lamps may feature a pyramid design in their base. Storage containers or baskets can also be styled in a pyramid shape, adding a unique aesthetic to home decor. Lastly, certain architectural elements, like roof designs on gazebos or small structures, may incorporate pyramidal shapes.
