So, how do you decide?
- Room Size - Most water fountains of a small or medium size are going to look sensational in any size room.
However, if you have your heart set on one of those extra long water walls to take up that blank space you don't know what to do with, you need to make sure that you have a large enough room to accommodate it.
Just like a piece of art or furniture of substantial size, if the room is too small, the fountain can look out of place and actually make the room appear smaller. - Kids and Pets - If you have a baby, toddler or a dog, you may want to think twice before you set a fountain on the floor or a low table.
These can quickly become toys and water bowls.
If this sounds like your home, opt for water features that mount on the wall or place a tabletop variety up on a higher shelf. - Theme - When you start shopping for water fountains, theme is ultimately going to play a pretty key role in your decision.
Sure, you may fall in love with that gorgeous black spider marble fountain with the stainless steel trim but if you have a country cottage, Victorian, Asian, etc.
, theme, it is going to look incredibly misplaced.
Choose a fountain that will match your decor.
Water features already have a way of becoming a focal point, you don't want to create one that's awkward!
