Introduction
You’ve chosen your new garden ornament, paid for it and got it home. You’ve searched the Internet for information and bought a book or two. Now all you need to do is get it in place in your garden so that everyone can admire it. But there are some things you should know before you decide where to put your new acquisition, especially if you want to achieve the best results. In this article, we’ll explain why careful positioning of your garden ornament is important, and how to go about it.
Large ornaments make better focal points than smaller ones.
Let’s start with the basics: a good rule of thumb is that large ornaments are much more noticeable than smaller ones. If you have a small garden, then placing small decorations will give the illusion that your garden is actually quite large. However, if you’re going for something more subtle or have plenty of space to work with, then placing larger ornaments can make them stand out even further and help them become focal points in your garden.
When it comes down to it though – it’s important that you place your garden ornaments where they’ll be seen! For example if we look at this photo on our blog here at Ornamentopia UK we can see how effective large displays can be at drawing attention towards an area where there isn’t anything else around (like some shrubbery).
Ornaments should be placed in a setting where they will be noticed.
Ornament placement is imperative because it affects the way your ornaments are seen by others. Ornaments should be placed in a setting where they will be noticed. They should also be placed in a setting where they can catch the eye when someone looks at them from different angles and directions.
Think about size, shape and texture when choosing a spot for your ornament.
When choosing a spot for your ornament, it’s important to think about three things: size, shape and texture.
Size is pretty self-explanatory; if you have a large garden and want to fill it with lots of little things then you’ll need to make sure that they don’t crowd each other out by being too big or too small. Shape is also pretty simple; an orb might look great on its own but if placed next to another orb they would create an odd shape in your garden. Texture is the third thing that needs consideration when placing your ornament(s). You should think about how the material used will affect the rest of your garden as well as whether this will complement its surroundings or not.
For example: A metal birdhouse would look great in amongst some flowers and bushes because metal doesn’t get hot like wood does so won’t damage anything around it (e.g., soil), but could become rusty over time which could lead to rust stains appearing on nearby plants like lavender due to their delicate nature!
Do not place your ornament too close to the ground.
You want your ornament to look great, but you don’t necessarily want it to get damaged by kids or dogs. If you place your ornament too close to the ground, it’s much more likely that it will be subjected to the elements (including rain and snow) or accidentally knocked over by a lawnmower. In addition, if your ornament is placed in an area where people often walk (or run), they might run into it while they’re out on their morning jog.
Finally, if an ornament is placed too close to the ground and/or within reach of children or pets, there is also a greater chance that someone could accidentally damage the item when walking past it or climbing on top of it—especially if said person happens not to see them there!
It is best to group ornaments together rather than place them singly around the garden.
Grouping ornaments together can help create a focal point for your garden. A focal point is something that draws your attention to it, and makes other things look better in comparison. For example, if you want to make your front door stand out from the rest of the house, you could place some flowers next to it so they are visible when you pull up in front of the house. If you have a circular bed with multiple plants growing around it and one plant is not doing as well as others, then consider moving that plant so that it’s closer to another plant or tree that looks healthy and strong. This will draw attention away from any areas where there is less growth because they will be grouped together visually by their proximity to each other
Always think about how your garden ornaments look from different angles, both close up and far away.
When you’re evaluating how your garden ornament will look, it’s important to consider how it looks from all angles.
- Look at the garden ornament from up close.
- Look at the garden ornament from far away.
- Think about how the garden ornaments look when viewed from above—from the ground or in a helicopter or plane, for example.
- Consider how your garden ornaments look when viewed from space, via satellite image or even by astronauts on the International Space Station!
Take some time to choose a good place in your garden for your new ornament.
Once you’ve chosen the right style of garden ornament for your outdoor space, it’s time to think about where you want to place it. When placing your garden ornaments, think about:
- Shape and texture
- View from different angles (e.g., from an elevated location)
- Distance from other ornaments
Conclusion
We hope these tips will help you find the perfect spot for your garden ornaments. Remember that placing ornaments correctly is just as important as choosing the right one!
