Great garden art ideas

Showing off our favourite pieces of art shouldn't be restricted to hanging paintings on the living room wall or exhibiting kids' pictures on the fridge. From small, accent pieces that draw your gaze into the garden bed to large, abstract sculptures that look stunning on a large patch of lawn, garden art not only enhances a landscape but can also become its major focal point.

While knowing what to choose and where to place it depends on a number of personal factors – style of your home, size of location, visual effect you're after – there are a few things you can do to get the creative juices flowing.

Do you have a travel photo or family snapshot that would look great outside? Decorating an exterior wall with a custom-made aluminium print, like this one from The Canvas Factory, means you can get creative outside just like you do inside the home. The good quality ones are completely waterproof and weather-resistant, which means your family photo, child’s artwork or favourite movie poster can be displayed on the patio, pool deck or front porch.
One image can transform a bland exterior wall into the makings of an enticing outdoor room in an otherwise underutilised part of the yard. Featuring a reverse fold, concealed frame that makes it easy to hang, this Pandanus metal wall art from the multi-award winning design team at Entanglements, comes with base-lit LED lighting that allows you to enjoy the tropical silhouette after dark.

Let me introduce you to Frieda La Frog, who has been cleverly fashioned from two old car tires, one truck tire and a number of recycled items. She’s a great example of how you can up-cycle discarded items while adding a little whimsy into the landscape.
