Garden Statues & Ornaments

You have mowed the lawn, painted the shed, bought new garden furniture, weeded the vegetable beds, ordered all these pretty new cachepots, trimmed the hedges, sculpted the conifere, and you still think something else could be done? How about some garden ornaments? All gardens - big or small - can be brightened with a little decoration here and there.

What are good ornaments to use for garden decoration?

No worries, it does not have to be a garden gnome - although they really are great.

Garden ornaments are small to large accessories, to place anywhere from your lawn to the wall of the house. They can be very simple or even useful like a pretty flower urn, a fancy hose holder, a small granite bench, or a bird bath on a stand.
They can also be very elaborate like a life sized Buddha statue with water feature, or down right cute like a momma duck figurine with her little ducklings crossing your lawn to get to the pond, where their plastic duck dad is already waiting, swimming on the water.
And, of course, do not forget seasonal and holiday decoration like Christmas garden ornaments.

What’s the best weatherproof material for garden ornaments?

Resin, stone and and to a degree metal garden ornaments are usually your best options when looking for materials that can stand the weather better. If you create or buy garden ornaments that are made out of weaker material, try to find a shaded, roofed place to put them.
Most popular materials are resin or plastic but you can purchase many metal and stone garden ornaments as well. Although naturally aged decoration with faded paint and little cracks in the surface can look very pretty if that is your style, it is always best to choose a material that is weather-resistant and survives the elements for a long time.

How can I decorate my garden with ornaments or statues?

Shop by style or subject and buy ornaments completing your general garden environment or create a little separate nook devoted to a specific theme. Buy a Buddha statue or some Japanese ornaments like a pagoda lantern for your Asian inspired meditation corner or a curled up cat sculpture to lie in the rose bed and a cute little fox figurine to peek around the side of the shed in your cottage garden.
You can decorate the outside walls and roof of your house as well. Think a wind chime hung next to the patio door, a weathervane on top of the roof, some garden art to hang up as wall décor, or maybe even a garden clock.
Even garden furniture and storage space can work as beautiful garden decoration like a well placed hanging chair or hammock with a stand, a pretty rug or lantern on the patio or a beautiful garden arbour with storage bench and roses climbing up the trellis.

Is there any night time decoration available?

Yes, solar powered garden ornaments, fairy lights, lanterns and garden candles are great accessories to decorate your garden at night. You can also integrate security and safety in your garden decoration and add solar path lights or an old-fashioned PIR wall lantern.
