While some are blessed with large gardens, others have to make do with less area outdoors. But that doesn't mean that a small garden should be bland! When it comes to decorating your outdoor area, we have plenty of ideas for garden statues suitable for a small space in our collection of garden ornaments.
1. Try 2D Garden Statues
One of our first ideas for garden statues suitable for a small space is to look for two-dimensional garden statues like our Robin on a spade stake. Laser cut from 2mm steel, these types of garden statues can be pushed directly into soil, grass, or even into pot plants, and they are so thin that they only use space in one dimension. There are lots of different shapes and animals to discover, including slightly larger versions like the metal toadstool decoration.
2. Utilise Vertical Surfaces
No matter what size of garden you've got, it probably has walls of some kind - whether its a fence or a shed taking up the space, their walls are valuable real estate when it comes to adding interest to a garden. Hanging items from our collection of metal garden wall art directly onto the wall of the fence or shed allows you to create space for garden statues that are once again 2D and take no depth, while filling otherwise boring space with interest.
3. Raise the Stakes
Along the same vein as the 2D garden statues, there are many garden stakes that are super narrow and don't take up much horizontal area. These are perfect for placing into dirt, lawns or planters to create vertical interest, and they also can double as useful supportive pins to help your plants grow.
4. Leave them Hanging
When there's simply no space on the ground to place stakes, you can hang decorations from tree branches or sturdy bushes to add interest without taking up any space. We have a range of bird-shaped ornaments like the hanging metal hummingbird decoration, which come in a set of three and can make it look like you have some feathered friends visiting every day of the year.
5. Tiny but Mighty
Last but not least, our 5th idea for garden statues suitable for small sized gardens is to invest in small yet sturdy metal objects like the cast iron ornamental fairy. We recommend metal, especially cast iron for these tiny pieces, as the metal will give them the heft and stability to stand up to the elements - unlike something that might be more flimsy in small size like wood or plastic.
