There’s not much point in adding any statues to your garden or yard if they can’t be seen. Take note of what direction you’re looking at from the windows inside the house, the patio set, the entrance, and any other areas where people will be standing, sitting, or passing through. Place statues off to the side but still in view from windows, position them in open spaces, or use frames in your landscaping to highlight them.
Highlight Functionality & Landscaping Design
You want to be able to go out and enjoy your yard, don’t you? The other things you incorporate into your yard — like patio furniture, ponds, or benches — will give you hints as to where you should place your statues. Consider positioning them on or near tables for entertaining, beside entrances or other sections of the yard, next to doorways, alongside paths, or next to your patio furniture.
Keep It Simple
When in doubt, stick to simplicity! After all, you probably don’t want your new garden statue to be the big garden piece that’s always in the way. It may serve as an interesting focal point, but it should really be used to complement and add to the overall look of the landscaping. Use statues to bring out the flowers or plant life, pair similar sets if you want more than one together, or use them to subtly draw the eye to something else — like a background view.
