If you’re anything like me, you love filling your space with things that don’t just look good—but feel good too. One of my favorite pieces in my home is a 2 Feet Buddha Statue I picked up from a local artisan market a couple of years back. It’s not just a statue—it’s a vibe. And if you’re thinking about bringing one into your home or workspace, you’re in for something truly special.
In this post, I’ll walk you through some awesome placement ideas for your 2 feet Buddha statue—whether you’re planning to put it in your living room, garden, office corner, or even your entryway. I’ll also throw in some personal stories, things I’ve learned the hard way, and a few tips you won’t find in a typical home decor article.
So grab a cup of chai or coffee (or coconut water if you’re feeling fancy), and let’s dive into it!
Why a 2 Feet Buddha Statue?
Before we get into where to place it, let’s talk about why the 2 feet size is kind of the sweet spot.
It’s not too big to overwhelm your space. But it’s also not so small that it gets lost on a shelf. Think of it as the perfect middle-ground—it has presence. It commands attention, but in a quiet, humble way.
Plus, it’s versatile. You can shift it around if you’re someone like me who loves to move things every few months for that “fresh energy” feeling.
Living Room: The Heart of the Home
Let’s start with the most common space—the living room.
I placed my first 2 feet Buddha statue in the corner of my living room, near a soft floor lamp and some indoor plants. Honestly, it changed the whole energy of the room.
Here’s what you can try:
Corner nook setup: Place your statue on a low wooden pedestal or even a small rustic stool. Add a bamboo plant, incense holder, and a soft spotlight. Boom—zen corner ready.
Wall backdrop: Choose a calm background—think neutral or earthy tones. Avoid placing the Buddha against a chaotic or cluttered wall.
South-East direction is considered ideal as per Vastu (an Indian spatial energy tradition), for peace and prosperity.
Pro tip: Avoid putting the statue directly on the floor. It deserves a little elevation, both symbolically and visually.
Home Entrance: Inviting Peace
This one’s a game changer.
Placing a 2 feet Buddha statue at your home’s entrance isn’t just decorative—it sets the tone. It tells everyone (and reminds you) that your home is a place of calm and positive energy.
I remember a friend coming over, pausing at the door, and saying, “Whoa, this feels… peaceful already.”
That’s the power of Buddha.
Where exactly?
Just to the side of your main door, not facing it directly.
Keep the space tidy—don’t crowd it with shoes or bags.
Add a small hanging bell or wind chime for an extra sensory layer.
Office: Focus & Clarity
Work can get chaotic, no doubt. Whether you work from home or from a physical office, having a 2 feet Buddha statue nearby can be like having a calm coach silently rooting for you.
I placed one near my desk in my co-working space. Not in-your-face, just gently present. And whenever I feel my brain turning into scrambled eggs, I look at it. Take a breath. And return.
Try this:
Facing you while working—not from behind.
Add a minimal stand, and maybe even a sand zen garden or a bonsai nearby.
Stick to clean lines and minimal clutter in this zone. Let the statue be the centerpiece.
Meditation or Prayer Room: Deeper Connection
If you have a puja room or a meditation nook, this one’s obvious.
A 2 feet Buddha statue here feels like it was made for the space.
Here’s what works beautifully:
Place it at eye level while sitting.
Keep a cushion or low bench in front of it for your meditative sessions.
Add candles, mala beads, or prayer flags if that’s your vibe.
Lighting matters. Use warm white or yellow lights to add serenity.
This is where I feel the deepest connection with mine. Sometimes I just sit in front of it, no agenda, no thoughts. Just being.
Garden or Balcony: Earthy Calm
Ever seen Buddha surrounded by plants and stones? It just fits, right?
If you’ve got an outdoor or semi-outdoor space, your 2 feet Buddha statue can become a stunning centerpiece.
Ideas:
Place it among your potted plants, on a raised stone slab.
Add white pebbles or moss around the base.
Light it up at night with a solar garden spotlight.
I’ve even seen people create tiny zen gardens with sand, stones, and a small water feature next to the statue. Pure bliss.
Bedroom: Gentle Closure
This is a tricky one and highly personal. Some feel strongly about not placing Buddha in bedrooms (especially the sleeping/resting posture), while others find it incredibly grounding.
Personally, I have a small meditation nook in my bedroom with a 2 feet statue in the Dhyana Mudra (meditation pose). I end my day there, just sitting in silence for a few minutes. It helps me sleep like a baby.
If you’re open to it:
Avoid placing it directly facing the bed.
Keep it elevated on a table or chest of drawers.
Add soft lighting and perhaps a diffuser with lavender oil.
Dining Room: Calm Gatherings
Now this one’s rare, but I saw it once at a friend’s home and was instantly in love.
They had a 2 feet Buddha statue at the far end of the dining room, on a wooden counter, surrounded by candles and a few hand-painted bowls. It wasn’t religious—it was warm, artistic, and intentional.
If your dining area allows it:
Place it at a side or corner, not center-stage.
Pair with art pieces, maybe a mirror or some warm wall texture.
Use it to ground the energy, especially during family meals or get-togethers.
Hallways or Transitional Spaces
These are often ignored spaces. But imagine walking down your hallway and catching a calm glimpse of Buddha. It’s subtle but effective.

Use a narrow console table.
Add a few vertical candles or tall vases.
Make sure the lighting isn’t too harsh—soft LED strips or wall sconces work great.
Choosing the Right Posture & Material Now, not all Buddha statues are the same. And this part is important.
Common postures for a 2 feet Buddha statue: Dhyana Mudra (Meditation pose): Great for calming, grounding, and clarity.
Abhaya Mudra (Fearlessness): Ideal for office or entry spaces.
Bhumisparsha Mudra (Earth-touching): Symbolizes enlightenment—perfect for meditation areas.
Reclining Buddha: Great for restful zones like the bedroom (if you’re okay with it).
[b]Materials to consider:[/b] Stone or marble: Elegant, long-lasting, and perfect for indoors.
Bronze or brass: Adds a classic feel, ideal for traditional spaces.
Resin: Lightweight and versatile—great for balconies or lighter furniture.
Wood: Feels warm and rustic—adds charm to minimal or boho interiors.
Final Vibe Check: Do’s and Don’ts I’ve made some of these mistakes so you don’t have to:
Do:
Keep the space clean and sacred.
Elevate the statue—don’t place it directly on the floor.
Decorate with intention, not clutter.
Don’t:
Place it in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or directly on shoe racks.
Use it as a decorative afterthought.
Forget to dust it—respect is in the details.
My Little Ritual Before I wrap up, let me share something personal.
Every morning, I light a single stick of sandalwood incense near my Buddha statue. No chanting, no fanfare. Just a quiet moment. It’s my reset button. Even on bad days, it reminds me of stillness.
And that’s what this statue does—it doesn’t just decorate a space. It transforms it.
Wrapping It Up: Your Turn!
So, where will your 2 feet Buddha statue go?
Whether it’s in a corner of your office, by your garden path, or watching over your meditation room, trust your gut. Let the placement come from intuition, not just Pinterest ideas.
And remember—it’s not about getting it “right.” It’s about creating a space that feels true to you.
