I am not an expert. But in most Asian gardens that I have viewed. They are loaded with these items. As well as plants, but they compliment each other. Not to be overdone or cluttered. There is a certain design scape to be followed when adding statues and fixtures. They must flow together, form a theme and be separtate entities so each area is a comfortable setting. Now in my garden I have probably overdone it a bit -6 statues, a birbath and feeder, a bridge, waterfall, pergolla, arbour, a Japanese climbing trellis, as well as 2 other trellises, river, and pond. All laid out in a very small yard. Sounds cluttered, but I think not, as I have tried to carry the flow throughout the garden. I spent 4 months with pen and paper before actually starting anything, and I am constantly moving things around to get that certain look. If anyone has a garden of any form with statues or ornaments, or even beautiful patios, please post them, share the beauty, and lets discuss themes.
