While many fountains are intended to be placed in a garden setting, you can be creative and find many other places where the sound and sight of flowing or trickling water will be a welcome pleasure. A small-balcony can be transformed into an oasis with a fountain and one or two palm or bamboo plants or create a gathering place on your patio or deck with a free-standing fountain that welcome everyone to take some time to relax and de-stress.
Create an Unexpected Feature to Delight Visitors
Think of places around your house or yard that might be an unexpected, but charming, location for a water feature, such as a gurgling frog beside a path or walkway at the side of home, a mischievious cherub on the front porch welcoming visitors to your home, or an intriguing waterfall on a bare garage wall.
Fountains in the environment invite visitors to take a moment in their busy days to pause, relax and re-connect with nature in a brief but rewarding encounter. For the homeowner, or even commercial venue, outdoor fountains provide a real opportunity to personalize your outdoor decor with your unique vision and style.
