Start by thinking of the size of your garden. If your garden or courtyard is small or includes a more intimate closed in feel, then you may need to opt for a small or unassuming fountain that will not take up too much space or can be nestled in a corner. If your outdoor space is large or includes a great deal of wide open areas, then you can consider large, free standing classic style fountains that can be the centerpiece of your garden.
Next consider the feel of your garden. You will want to choose from water features that best suit your style. If you have a more casual space, then you may want to choose from fountains that include tumbled stones or other rustic features. If you have a more modern space, then floating spheres or leveled concrete might be right for you. If you have a formal garden, then you may like classic, antique style stone features.
When you are looking for something to add to your outdoor space, then water features could be the right option. The combination of aesthetic beauty along with soothing sounds can add to any garden, whether it is formal or casual, modern or classic. Choose a water feature based on its intended surroundings and your own personal taste.
