Adding a fountain to your favorite space does more than enhance aesthetics. It also contributes comforting white noise and a splash of moisture to your indoor room. Outside, it attracts birds and other wildlife to make your garden a haven for Mother Nature.
Ready to install a fountain? I’ve picked a few favorites to get you started.
Sunset Tide Pool by Laguna Waterworks ($2,599 - $5,299, depending on size)
This one-of-a-kind fountain is handmade just for you. The manufacturers use a torch to “paint” the stainless steel and create the stunning iridescent colors. Available in a 34- to 60-inch diameter, the round fountain is ideal for a variety of spaces, and because of a low-voltage lighting tucked into its folds, the fountain can also function as a mood-enhancing night light.
Hospitality Pineapple by Brass Baron Fountains ($212.50)
Make a statement in your backyard with this quirky pineapple-shaped fountain. A verdigris finish on the all-brass fountain gives it a well-weathered look. I also like the Crazy Frog ($70) and the Standing Hippo ($169) from the same manufacturer.
Ceramic Solar Cascade by Smart Solar ($169.95)
A low-voltage solar pump re-circulates the water to make this fountain eco-friendly. Request the optional AC adapter if you plan to bring it indoors during the wintertime.
If you didn’t find a fountain to suit your fancy here, try Garden-Fountains.com, Soothing Walls, or Fountain Crafters to spot one that does.
And be sure to leave a comment with a link to your favorites!
Until next time,
