People say that it’s the touches you add that can help transform your house into a home, and when you stop and actually think about what that saying means, then they’re absolutely right. Once a property is yours, it’s then time for you to add your mark and add touches of flair, sophistication, style and class that are unique and relevant to you and your tastes. Furniture and decor are essential, yet getting things right in your garden is also pretty vital. A garden is a place where you entertain friends and family when the weather permits so, as well as being a place to escape to when you wish to relax and unwind. For that reason, it’s essential you have your garden looking as presentable and stylish as you possibly can, so that you can be proud of it and enjoy it in all of its true natural beauty. A great way to really bring your garden to life and help it stand out amongst the rest, is by using decorative garden sculptures. Garden sculptures can help to really transform a garden, and by following our advice, you too could have a garden to be proud of.

Use classical statues and sculptures – For a more natural looking garden, classical sculptures and statues could be exactly what you need. Often made from stone and other natural looking materials, these sculptures often blend into the garden, looking as if they’ve been there for centuries. Common examples include stone birdbaths, or statues of wild animals such as birds, foxes, badgers etc. Another classical look that is growing in popularity by the day, is the inclusion of reproductions of world famous works of art, such as the ‘Venus De Milo’, or Michelangelo’s ‘David’. These sculptures are often made from light stone materials and can make a sensational looking centrepiece on any garden.

Go with art deco and modern art styled sculptures – Art deco and modern art styled sculptures are designed to really add a wow factor to anybody’s garden, and are certain to be the centre of everybody’s attention before too long. Many of these styled sculptures take on bizarre or unusual shapes and colours, but they just seem to work. Bright reds, yellows, blacks, whites, and blue colours are often used, making them stand out like a sore thumb, for all of the right reasons. Flame shapes and gentle swirls are especially popular at the moment, swirling and gliding effortlessly into the backdrop of many a person’s garden, and from the feedback, these styles and patterns are going down a treat too.

Go with bold brave sculptures – The most important thing to consider when decorating your garden, is whether you actually like the sculptures or not? If not, choose ones which you do. If you do like something, then why not use it, no matter what it may be? Take kitsch for example. With brightly coloured garden gnomes, and unusual looking exotic animal sculptures and statues, some people are hesitant about choosing this style, but if you like it, that’s all that matters. Why not go for a mythical magical garden theme and include fairies and dragon statues perhaps? With a little vision and imagination, there’s no end to the list of possibilities available to you.
