The process of selecting the wind chime size is one of the most significant since it will suit your place’s decor and determine its sound. Some chimes are suitable for small spaces like a balcony or a corner while others’ size is more appropriate for large areas like a deck, patio or a garden. So, it is a matter of space arrangement and sound choice for your wind chime of favorite size.
Why Wind Chime Size Matters
The choice of the size for a wind chime depends on your surroundings, since a larger one can be a real feature in your environment while a smaller design can provide a light sound without causing a sense of bulkiness.
Before choosing a wind chime, consider:
- The size of your balcony, patio, deck, garden or space
- Your available hanging height
- How much space is needed for the chime to move freely
- Natural airflow
- The sound and style you want
- Distance from walls and structures.
Any wind chime requires enough space to move. Narrow areas can limit airflow and nearby walls; pillars and windows can cause problems during strong winds. Choose a location with natural airflow and allow the chime to have enough space around it.
Small Wind Chimes for Small Places
Small wind chimes are perfect for places where there's only room to hang a few things and can offer a nice, gentle decoration to your balcony, verandah, smaller garden area or a sheltered corner of your house.
Gift N Garden's small range includes the beautiful Precious Stones Chimes and Gem Drop Chimes. This range is suited to those who have a small area in mind for their item but would still like a decorative feature.
A small wind chime can also make a wonderful gift for anyone with a balcony, courtyard, or small garden space. Its smaller size makes it easier to place while still adding movement and sound to the area.
Medium Wind Chimes for Your Everyday World
Medium wind chimes are a fantastic option when you have more space to utilise. Medium sizes can be hung in patios, decks, verandahs and other garden areas where you have more space in mind but still want a good size chime.
While selecting a medium wind chime, make sure to consider the area in which you would like to hang your item. Hang the medium-sized chime so that there is a good flow of air around the tubes, while allowing you to be able to hear the sound in a nearby seating area.
Some options to consider include the Woodstock Chimes of Polaris, Chimes of Pluto and Craftsman Chime.
This size will also allow you to have the chime complete, while complementing the other pieces in the garden, instead of the chime being a feature itself.
Large Wind Chimes for Larger Spaces
Large wind chimes require more space but can be a real feature in a big outdoor space. In the large Woodstock range, we have the beautiful Chimes of Earth, Windsinger Orpheus, Windsinger Athena and Windsinger Apollo.
Such wind chimes are perfect for a generous patio, deck, or garden space, but we also recommend choosing areas with covers or roofs that allow the chime to have enough space to move.
Choosing Wind Chimes as a Gift
Wind chimes can make a great gift for a garden lover because you know you can choose an item that fits in with the space and style that they want. Small chimes are suited to a balcony, while larger items can make a real feature in a bigger space. Melody chimes can also be a special item for personal preference. We also offer various designs for you to choose from, including Amazing Grace and Waltzing Matilda.
Ready to Buy Wind Chimes?
When you buy wind chimes, think beyond the look of the item. Think about the size in relation to your area and the sound you would like. Remember to consider airflow and personal preference before choosing a wind chime. Take time to compare items before you decide.
