Choosing a Garden or Indoor Water Fountain
By Janet Ashby
Wall Fountains Wall fountains come in both vertical and horizontal designs. These different designs look good in different situations. A room with a high ceiling would suit a tall vertical fountain. On a very wide wall a tall vertical fountain can look out of place unless you intend to place other features on either side of the fountain. For a room with a long wall and lower ceiling height choose a horizontal wall fountain. In a room with high ceilings horizontal a wall fountain would look smaller than it actually is. Measure the available space for your wall fountain. Also take into account the depth of the fountain. In a narrow corridor or walkway this could be important although most wall fountains have a depth of about 6 inches so this shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Sizing Up a Wall Fountain Find out the dimensions of the wall fountain you intend to buy then measure it out on the wall where you have chosen to place it. Stick thumb tacks or post-it notes at the corners then stand back and look to see if it looks good. You could also use tape to trace out the outline of the fountain for a better idea of how it will look when hung in place. Table Top Fountains Find out the diameter of the fountain you have chosen to buy then make sure it will fit on the surface where you will place it. It’s a good idea to place an object of a similar size at this location to ensure that it looks good. To judge the height you could stack some books to the required height and see if it look OK. Some tabletop fountains vary in height as they use natural stones that, of course, are not uniform. make sure you allow for this when deciding on the fountain to purchase. Outdoor Floor Fountains The width is the most important consideration although if you are placing the fountain on patio or under an arbour or other construction you will need to find out the height of the fountain. Stack boxes in the location chosen to ensure that it will fit comfortably and look good.
