1. Add pizzazz to indoor and outdoor locations with mythical creatures such as dragons. Use them in your entrance foyer, living room, den, bathroom; they lend themselves as fabulous accent pieces in gardens, around ponds and in pagodas. Since dragon figurines range from very large to small sizes, they are ideal in groupings, collections, and add style and enchantment wherever your place them.

2. Use a large oriental dragon, bright and colorful, at your garden entrance where he will become an exciting focal point or guardian. Scatter other colorful dragon statues around to protect your homestead and flowerbeds. Your mythical creatures will beautify and safeguard your homestead and property while adding theme and class to the landscape.
