Add Wow Factor To Your Outdoor Living Space With a Wall Fountain

Signs of our fascination with water are everywhere - in swimming pools, man-made ponds, serenity pools and water fountains.
But we don't all have space or the ability for upkeep on expensive pools and fountains, so outdoor water walls can fulfill our aesthetic desires in even the smallest seating area.
Wall fountains are elegant and sleek decorations that bring the relaxing sound of running water to any home or garden.
They are available in hundreds of shapes, designs and materials in order to match your décor without overwhelming the space.
Wall fountains can incorporate tiers or cupping to guide the water, or the water may run straight down similar to a waterfall (without the thundering noise of course).
Choosing the right type of outdoor wall fountain When installing an outdoor water wall, you'll want it to match your home décor while providing the right kind of sound.
These two features may be the most important decisions because if you don't like the sound of the running water, you probably won't use the fountain.
Also, whether your fountain is the centerpiece or late addition to your sitting area, you don't want the design to overpower the space.
Wall fountains can be made of glass, artificial rock, stone, cement, metal, granite, plastic and just about anything else, which is why you can find an outdoor wall fountain perfect for any home.
You can even make your own fountain with clay pots or scrap metal.
Heavier materials need to be used with sturdy walls for support.
The majority of water fountains are sold in kits that include the pump (which is often hidden), wall attachments and hoses.
When placing the fountain, make sure it is near an electrical outlet.
So, how can you find the right type of material to use for your garden or home? The answer is simple - match it to what you already have.
Match the water wall to the cushions or furniture of sitting areas.
If you have modern outdoor furniture, choose a modern fountain.
Metal fountains that match metal furniture or clay fountains that match the clay flower pots will keep the décor consistent.
For gardens, more natural-looking outdoor waterfall will bring the babbling brook sound while keeping in line with a natural look.
Choose a water feature made of stone or granite in earth tones, or make your own fountain with landscaping rocks and pebbles.
The choices are limitless which provides you with the utmost freedom in creating or implementing your outdoor wall fountain.
