Choosing the right yard statues can be a tough task
Choosing the right yard statues can be a tough task. You want to find one that reinforces the look and style of both your home and garden and mixes well with all of the other elements in your yard. Yard statues have a tendency to be the point of interest of the area and you would like something that is making a powerful positive impact. Since these statues will be in your yard across the year it’s important to find something that you will not become bored with taking a look at. No matter what type or style you select you are found to find something that adds beauty and charm to your yard.
Before beginning your hunt for a yard statue it’s a good idea to go for a walk around your yard. Try and see it as someone coming to your home for the first time. Occasionally it helps to take digital photographs from a range of angels and have a look at them on your personal computer screen. When taking a look at your yard consider the style and lines. Do you have neat symmetrical lines around the yard or is it more casual and free flowing? Think about your own private style. Look at the things you are most drawn to when browsing home design and gardening mags and sites.
Next it’s time to consider placement and scale. Think about what the backdrop would be from all of the various angles if you placed the statue in a particular location. Many times yard statues look best with a green background like trees, ferns, and plants. You can get an idea of what the proper proportion are by taking a look at photos of yards and gardens in magazines and books. Smaller gardens will need smaller statues while bigger gardens are a great backdrop for giant statues. Whatever yard statue you select should be in balance with all of the other elements in your space.
