If you live in a part of the world where it is not always warm year round then you don't always get a chance to enjoy your yard or garden. You may have spent hours and hours gardening or decorating your yard and patio only to enjoy it 6 months of the year. One piece of garden decor that you can't enjoy in these circumstances is a garden or outdoor water fountain. You might have a small indoor tabletop water fountain but it doesn't offer the same peace and tranquility as a large outdoor fountain. Well there is a solution. Wall mounted water fountains can provide you the same soothing sound and beauty of an outdoor water feature during those times when you can't enjoy the outdoors.
SHAPES AND SIZES OF WALL FOUNTAINS
There are many different shapes and sizes when it comes to wall fountains. The first thing you will want to do before shopping for a wall fountain is to figure out where you want to put it. These fountains go great in entryways, living rooms, dens, lobbies, waiting rooms, and bedrooms. Anywhere you could hang wall art is a great place for a fountain. Once you find out where you want to put it next determine how much space you have. There are many different shapes and sizes so you want to find out which will work best for your space. Most of the wall fountains are vertical and rectangular in shape although there are some that are more horizontal.
STYLE AND DESIGN OF WALL FOUNTAINS
These fountains have a wide variety of designs to fit any style. Whether you are looking for a contemporary modern fountain or a traditional classic fountain you will be able to find what you need. Most of these fountains use slate or marble as their surface but you can also get a mirrored glass surface. There are three different types of slate which are Rajah (multi-color), Green, and Black slate. The Rajah is the most popular and has more of a reddish look to it. The marble options are Green, Brown and Black marble. These surfaces are combined with a top panel and lower panel made of either stainless steel or a bronze copper. These panels can also be rounded or squared at the corners. With so many options you can mix and max to create the look and feel you want to use for your interior decor.
HOW THEY WORK
These wall fountains are simply mounted with an easy to install bracket system that will attach to almost any wall. They will go into drywall with metal or wood studs, cinderblock, plywood and cement. If you get a stone fountain you may need some help lifting them onto the bracket on the wall as they can be quite heavy since they are natural stone. The bottom tray holds the water and the quiet submersible pump and a hose runs along the back of the fountain distributing the water over the stone surface at the top. There are also lights and an on and off switch in the top panel. These fountains simply plug into any normal wall socket and once installed are ready to go!
These fountains do require a little maintenance like adding water every so often and an occasional cleaning. Adding one of these beautiful wall fountains to your home or office will provide a relaxing bit of art to your living space and will be the focus of a lot of attention as they are quite popular.
