Indoor wall fountains are a wonderful way to introduce nature into your home or office. Not only does a fountain serve as a unique and exceptional piece of art but it also introduces a sense of gentle tranquility and beauty into the entire space.
One of the first decisions you should make when selecting a fountain is where you will actually place it. Many people choose to place their waterfalls on an area of the wall where it can serve as a focal point. This is a good option if you intend to place it in an entryway to your home or office. Deciding in advance where you will place the fountain will give you the best idea of the size you should purchase as well as the type of material that will be most suitable for that particular space.
If you decide to go with a larger indoor wall fountain, be aware that you can select between multi paneled fountains. Both vertical and horizontal styles are available. A vertical piece is a good choice for a room that features high cathedral ceilings. Horizontal style fountains are a better choice for long halls that have low ceilings.
It is quite important to focus on selecting the right size and shape waterfall for the space it will inhabit. If you choose the wrong size or shape, the end result will be awkward and potentially overwhelming.
Once you have determined the type of indoor wall fountain and the size you require, the next step is highlighting the fountain. The right piece can make a dramatic impact on its own without any accessories at all. Alternately, you can choose to add some dcor that will truly add to the entire ambience of the room. For instance, you might select a piece that features halogen lighting that will accent the natural flow of the water. Another option would be to place some live plants around the waterfall in order to increase the natural sense of beauty within your home or office. Another popular idea is to place highly polished stones and rocks at the bottom of the waterfall. This will add beauty while also muffling the sound of the water as it splashes to the bottom. There are certainly plenty of options to choose from and you might find that your best ideas come from simple experimentation.
