4. Select Installation Location

Think about the location and layout and decide where to put the sculpture. If it is a large sculpture, it is suitable to be placed in a large space, such as a city square sculpture. It should be large enough to be placed in the center, so that people can walk by and enjoy it from all angles. Abstract sculptures are a good focal point because they can be seen from all angles. Choose something that evokes emotion and consider the scenery ahead, around and far away. Smaller sculptures are more suitable for private gardens or interior decoration. Place smaller sculptures in a pile of flowers and you will be amazed to find wonderful artworks as you walk around the garden.

If you don't know which place is more suitable, you can take photos or videos and send to us. We can help you make the proper decision. 

5. Consider Size

According to our sales experience, the choice of size is often the most difficult for customers. Because the same sculpture can be very large or very small, what is the most appropriate size? The size of the sculpture can make your garden feel smaller or larger. On smaller plots, avoid sculptures that take up most of the garden. Indoor sculptures are often small in size, and the size of the sculpture is determined by referring to the surrounding decorations. The size of the fountain depends on the size of the installation site

If you can send us photos and measurements of the installation site, that will be very helpful. Then We can recommend you the proper sizes of sculptures.

6. Add Additional Elements

Sculpture can introduce another element to the garden in the form of a water feature. The environment with water brings vitality to the garden, so the fountain is a good choice. Lighting inside or above the sculpture can also enhance the surrounding effect.

7. Select plant

If the sculpture is to be placed in a courtyard or park, it is a good way to plant a lot of plants around the sculpture. Choose plants to complement or contrast the colors of the artwork. Choose smaller plants to avoid obscuring the sculpture or background. It is also important to consider seasonal interests, such as when they flower, do they have leaves all year round, are they interested in winter, and how they fit into sculptural landscapes that vary throughout the year.
