Statues can make a huge impact on your garden. They are often overlooked but make wonderful decorative features for most cottage gardens. They can, however, look out of place when not integrated into the garden’s design. With the following steps, you can seamlessly integrate the statue designs into your garden design.

Consider style

Before you even start looking for your garden statue, consider the style of your garden. This helps dictate what type of statue to buy. Ensure you select a statue that complements the style of your garden. The statue needs to fit properly with the garden design.

Decide on size

Size matters when selecting a statue. If it is too small for the garden, it will be dominated by the surrounding plants. If the statue is too large for the space, it can dominate the garden, creating an overwhelming atmosphere. It is important to measure the area where you plan to install the statue. This will help you determine the appropriate size and style to consider.

Prepare your location

The next step is to prepare the placement area, which is essential for larger statues. Smaller statues can be easily positioned in the desired spots. It’s a good idea to add a paving stone around the statue. This helps ensure it remains flat and prevents it from sinking into the soil. Always make sure the statue is level to avoid it toppling over and potentially breaking.

Frame your statue

Once the statue is in place, pay attention to the surrounding environment. If the statue is intended to be a decorative feature, ensure that the area around it is clear and that the backdrop is harmonious, allowing the statue to stand out. If you prefer a more natural appearance, consider planting trailing shrubs and vines. These will gradually cover the statue over time, helping it blend into the landscape.
