TIPS FOR PROPERLY PLACING GARDEN DECOR

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

# Try not to put too many things in the same place or at least not where you’ll see everything all at the same time. This can make your garden seem cluttered or busy. Spread your garden ornaments out into different areas of the garden to where your guests will find little surprises around every corner. This will make your garden or landscape design more interesting and natural.# Placing two of the same object such as pots or statues on opposite ends of a path is a great way of adding depth and defining the length of the path. Make sure that the objects are visible from each other so that they create a display together.

# Large sculptures placed at the end of a path tend to draw people on to the end and create a pleasing focal point. Remember that white statues or practically anything white create a focal point that draws the eye to itself.

# Don’t forget that walls and fences make great places to display garden decor. Sun dials, sun faces, plaques, and anything color can be used to break up a long, dull, lifeless span of fence or wall.

# Ponds and water features almost always have to have some form of garden decor around them to accent them. This one should be easy to figure out.

These are just a few examples of ways you can successfully use garden ornaments. We’ve barely touched the surface. The key to an imaginative garden using garden decor is to simply have a little imagination and a good selection to choose from.

Try browsing some of the larger garden decor sites to get some ideas. Use your imagination and picture different pieces placed differently throughout your garden.
