Beautiful Wall Fountains

Wall elements are an ideal alternative if the space you reside in is more modern in appearance. They can also add an element of elegance to your decor since they are also available in modern-day materials including glass and stainless steel. Is your home or office space in short supply? The ideal option for you is a wall water fountain. They take up no room since they are hung on a wall. Corporate buildings with busy lobbies commonly have one of these fountains. Inside spaces are not the only places to install a wall fountain, however. Look into using fiberglass or resin for your outside wall water feature. Use water fountains made of these waterproof materials to liven up your courtyard, deck, or other outdoor space.

Wall fountains can be found in a range of distinctive styles, ranging from ultra-sleek to traditional and rustic. The type most suitable for your living space depends entirely on your personal decoration ideas. A mountain lodge might require a conventional material such as slate whereas a high rise apartment might require sleek glass to liven up the interior space. It is up to you to choose the best material for you. There is no doubting the fact that fountains are features which enchant visitors and add to your quality of life.

Where did Large Garden Fountains Begin?

Originally, fountains only served a practical purpose. Water fountains were connected to a spring or aqueduct to provide drinkable water as well as bathing water for cities, townships and villages. Up until the nineteenth, fountains had to be more elevated and closer to a water source, including aqueducts and reservoirs, in order to benefit from gravity which fed the fountains. Fountains were an excellent source of water, and also served to adorn living areas and memorialize the designer. Bronze or stone masks of animals and heroes were frequently seen on Roman fountains. During the Middle Ages, Muslim and Moorish garden designers included fountains in their designs to mimic the gardens of paradise. Fountains played a considerable role in the Gardens of Versailles, all part of French King Louis XIV’s desire to exercise his power over nature. To mark the entrance of the restored Roman aqueducts, the Popes of the 17th and 18th centuries commissioned the building of baroque style fountains in the spot where the aqueducts entered the city of Rome

The end of the 19th century saw the increase in usage of indoor plumbing to provide drinking water, so urban fountains were relegated to strictly decorative elements. Gravity was substituted by mechanical pumps in order to enable fountains to bring in clean water and allow for amazing water displays.

Nowadays, fountains decorate public spaces and are used to pay tribute to individuals or events and fill recreational and entertainment needs.
