Garden ornaments can help shape your space and influence the way we perceive and experience the garden. Garden art can draw attention to a corner lot or set the service plan as the focal point. Decorative elements you choose to create the character of your garden through design, color and texture, as well as through the reactions they provoke.
Here are my five design principles for placement of garden decoration:
Unit: Everything you wear ornaments, will look best if they are part of a unified landscape design. A design where the plants, structures and garden decor style all share and work together to convey the mood of the garden. Nothing stands out too much, rather, all parties work together to create a sense of unity. The repetition of elements such as materials, shapes and colors to unify the appearance and prevent the mixture. In some gardens, the symmetry is used – matching items balanced on both sides of a central axis.
Focal Points: A well-chosen focal point provides a nearly immediate focus of the organization and garden design. The ornament should be noteworthy. Sometimes an object becomes a focal point, simply by virtue of its anchoring the center of a plantation or size.
Scale: To blend attractive garden art should be in scale with its surroundings. In general, should be in proportion to the house, plantation and nearby structures. However, some rules are made to be broken with an audacity and a little good sense of design a great source can be placed in a small space and make it look wonderful.
Color: This is what makes the personality of the garden. Garden decor to match your color palette outdoors (or the right amount of contrast) can shine your garden. Warm colors tend to be more stimulating and I realized how far, where the colors are soothing and cool and discreet.
Texture: Almost as important as color are the textures and finishes of the ornaments, garden furniture and structures such as walls and floors. Furniture shiny metal or glass containers bright make a statement in the garden. Instead land ends and surfaces such as wood and stone in the mixture of attraction of the set pieces as a naturalistic framework.
Why do some gardens “work”, while others seem bored? The answer is planning and following the basic principles of design. It is important to consider where and how your decor fits the idea and so important to select the ornaments that you really love and place them where they will have the greatest impact.
