Factors to consider when choosing garden art and metal garden decor include, size, color, style, and even patina. Naturally, we support buying art pieces from local artisans and makers.
- Determine your style - Do you prefer modern pieces or more classic, historical styles?
- Selection - Choose something you love. Consider how it makes you feel.
- Placement - Large pieces become focal points while smaller pieces draw you into the details of the garden. A large piece can be placed in a field, while a small piece should be placed with whimsy in a flower bed.
- Add additional elements. Plant selection, for trellis, choose climbing plants such as Ivy or Roses and for large sculpture pieces, you can incorporate ornamental grasses such as Morning Light or Japanese Blood Grass - especially pleasing if your metal garden art is painted and colorful.
