Garden Ornaments
No matter how big or small our garden is, it is the private piece of nature at home where we can fully relax and let go of all things mundane. Especially after a long day, it is extremely relaxing to spend some time in the fresh air surrounded by green plants and bushes and vibrant, colourful flowers. No matter if you go for a cottage, formal or traditional garden style, each definitely can benefit from beautiful ornaments which will introduce a playful accent.
Statues in a Formal Garden
Formal gardens are the hardest of them all to keep. They originated in Asia, however, they gained their popularity in Europe thanks to the French in the Baroque period. This style is characterized by attention to detail. The geometric layout of formal gardens is highlighted by geometric shapes of the plants as well. The hedges are neatly trimmed and the bushes themselves are cut into intricate shapes. Such a style might seem a bit strict and posh that is why an ornament here and there would help to add a playful element that would soften the feel of the space. If you want to play it safe go for those that depict human figures.
Ornaments in a Traditional Garden
Traditional gardens are the most popular ones. They are the middle ground between the formal and the cottage-style ones. The neatly mowed lawn, a couple of trees and some bushes, and flowers and there you go. This type of garden is fit for both, large and limited spaces and does not require that much maintenance. Such outdoor areas can certainly benefit from a few ornaments here and there. If you want to go for a smart look go for human figures, for a more playful vibe all kinds of animals are perfect.
Playful Figurines in a Cottage Garden
A cottage garden is like a meadow in your home. There are lots of vibrant, colourful flowers, loosely trimmed bushes and tall grass, a real piece of nature. This type of garden is the least demanding in terms of maintenance and looks best when matched with old-style houses. It definitely benefits from all sorts of additions, especially playful figurines. The best ones would be some cute animals like bunnies, squirrels or birds scattered all over for an extravagant effect.
Balcony Decor
If you don’t have a garden you can always style your balcony or terrace so that is your piece of nature in the air. A couple of chairs or a corner seat, a small table, and a couple of plants and flowers and there you go. Throw in a couple of ornaments to fill in the spaces between the plant pots and enjoy a peaceful corner in the fresh air. The cute animals will definitely cheer you up and make you smile.
