Wall Fountains and Water Fountains - New Decorating Ideas

Everyone always wants new decorating ideas at home and even at the office. How about a wall hanging that not only brings beauty but also brings relaxation and relieves stress? It is proven that flowing water helps people relax and is very soothing to the body and soul. Water Fountains bring the effect of flowing water into the home. Here are a few helpful hints to consider when choosing a wall fountain.

What is my budget for a Wall Fountain - Wall fountains come in all shapes and sizes. Typically, the larger the fountain the more money. This isn’t always the case, however, as quality of the material is a critical component. Most wall fountains have a stainless steel or copper frame so you will see some pricing differences due to the quality of the metals. You will find that it will be very easy to spend over your budget on your fountain so be sure you are comfortable before you start your research. I have seen wall fountains for as little as $300 up to $20,000 for a large custom fountain. There are a lot of standard size wall fountains that you can get both quality and beauty for $1,000 to $5,000 depending on size.

What size space do I have on the wall - Once you decide your spot you need to decide if you want a horizontal or vertical fountain. If you have taller ceilings and not a lot of width, a vertical fountain will work perfect for your wall. If you have a lot of space in the width or are placing your wall fountain above a fireplace, you will want to go with the horizontal layout. If you have a little flexibility on the size you will find that you will be able to get by spending less money because you will be able to find a stock size wall fountain as opposed to going to a custom fountain.

What materials and colors do I want in my new art piece - As with any type of art, color is critical. You obviously want your new piece of art to match your decor of the room or office lobby. You will find that you have a few different material choices to make first and then you can get into color. As mentioned above, a couple common choices of frame material on wall fountains is copper or stainless steel. This is usually an easy decision for people as stainless can represent a more modern, contemporary look while copper goes well with rich colors or earthy colors and can create a warm feel. Some common face options are slate or mirrored glass. You can also get an art fountain which has a painted image behind acrylic material creating a one of a kind piece of art. Slate allows you flexibility to choose the slate color. Slate varies with each piece but comes in a wide range of fountains such as black, green, reds, blues, rusts, browns, etc. Another great idea if the wall fountain is for the office is to consider an engraved logo. This can be done on both slate and glass.

What if I don’t find anything I like when researching wall fountains - If you have researched all the stock options and are not finding the size or materials you have your heart set on, remember, you can always do a custom water feature. This is going to double or triple the cost but you will get your exact dimensions and work with an expert to design your fountain. If you are going with a custom water feature you can view other custom fountains that have been done for others to get your creative ideas flowing and work from there. Remember, anything is possible!

With all the varieties of wall fountains available it is easy to find one that will look spectacular in your home or office and will truly captivate you and your guests. You will also thoroughly enjoy the benefits flowing water brings to your surroundings.
