Garden statues can make your landscape look more attractive, but without being implemented into the right landscaping design, they can clutter up a yard. Their placement should be strategic, so use these tips to transform your garden into a showcase for your statues.

How to Place Statues in Your Garden

1. Stick to One Style or Theme

Consider the design of your house when deciding which statues to place where. If you have a modern home, the figures you choose should be an extension of that style. Avoid mixing styles or themes. For example, a vintage rooster will look mismatched beside an elegant angel. 

2. Create a Focal Point

Whether it’s a picture window inside your house or the entrance to your garden, go where your yard is viewed the most. Would a statue in the center of this space create a focal point? Your goal should be to highlight the sculpture within its surroundings. If the statue would block another prominent feature, place it off to the side instead. 

3. Use Your Hardscaping Elements As Guides

If your garden features hardscaping elements such as benches, patio furniture, or retaining walls, use them as clues for where to place your statues. For example, set smaller figures on or near a table and larger models beside a bench or next to a doorway. Doing so makes them feel like a more cohesive part of your landscape.
