There is a magical way to liven up your garden or any area which you feel is dead and can do with sound and ambiance. Wind Chimes are an amazing tool to do just that. They are guaranteed to bring harmony to your life and usher in peace with soothing sounds.

Depending on your personal preference, whether it be bold sounds or soft tinkles, you can find sizes, styles and shapes suited for any garden or home.

Here are a few tips on how to get your started:

Before you rush out and buy your chimes, first do a small study of your garden. Take notes on where the wind blows the strongest and where there is a gentle breeze. Look at the direction of the wind. Does it tend to swirl around corners and certain trees and bushes? Which part of your garden has the most one directional wind? Your goal is to have chimes which will be soothing to your ears and not background noise which will irritate you.

The material most used on chimes are aluminum, glass and wood. All three give us vastly different sounds which is good news because now you can create many sounds that come together in the wind.

Try and play with height and depth. Place your chimes in a line, starting from the highest place in your garden (maybe a deck) and then place another chime lower (maybe on a tree) and then place a smaller one much lower (maybe in a flower bed) to create many different sounds at once. This will create a wind orchestra for you to sit back and enjoy.

It is also nice to change your chimes around at various intervals of the year. The seasons of the year offer us different winds at different speeds. Change their heights or even better, place objects in front of them or behind. Let the wind bounce of these objects to create a completely different sound from your chimes.

Chimes are a great way to dampen pesky traffic noise. Strategically placed where the noise is concentrated and combing them with a water feature can take away your problem. Tall plants and thick bushes can also help you alleviate noise.

You can really have so much fun with your wind Chimes by taking a bit of time to plan your musical masterpiece resonating from your garden. Remember to also place a small in your doorway as quests arrive and leave, they will be greeted with music.
