Your Buying Guide for Water Fountains and Waterfalls

Water fountains in a home offer serenity, a peaceful place to shed the stresses of the day.  Including them as part of your home décor has gotten a lot easier.  Today’s indoor water fountains are easy to install, require no major renovations and come in a multitude of display options.  Not only that, but many are designed for both indoor and outdoor use.  In fact, many businesses now include waterfalls in their reception areas and since vinyl logos or custometching options allow for a company to personalize its waterfall, it’s a fine investment option.

Mounted Waterfalls – These wall-mounted displays are attached to a wall and include quiet pumps to ensure your waterfall is seen and not heard – with the exception of the soft trickling water, of course.  They arrive with tempered glass and a variety of frames, including copper or stainless steel.  They’re easy to install and just as easy to disassemble should you decide to display it elsewhere.  Many prefer to install these on patios or other outdoor living areas.

A beautiful indoor water fountain is the Waikki Beach Wall Mount.  With pebbles that are hand painted, this stunning display is sure to be the topic of every conversation.  It comes with a soft halogen accent light, an adjustable water flow and a whisper quiet submersible pump.  Although considered a wall mount, it’s not overwhelming in size which makes it perfect for smaller rooms.

Fountains come in a variety of shapes and sizes.  The horizontal water fountains are ideal for those walls that offer plenty of width while a vertical water fountain might be what a taller, yet more narrow wall needs.  Be sure your chosen wall has an outlet as you don’t want to connect these via extension cords.  Although they’re designed to sit as close to the wall as possible, you don’t want to install in high traffic areas.  Select an area that’s visible when one enters a room, but that’s also not in a pathway.

Indoor or outdoor water fountains offer a stunning focal point for any room in the house.  They are a beautiful way to bring nature’s elements indoors.
