Imagine kicking back in a comfortable chair after a long, hard day at work and listening to the soothing, relaxing sounds of water splashing and running. Interior wall fountains can bring the soothing sounds of nature indoors without having to take up precious floor or table space. Not only that, but they can create a dramatic visual impact in any room in your home.
Most people put interior wall fountains in their living room or bedroom to provide relaxation, however interior wall fountains also look great in bathrooms or practically any other room in your home.
Interior wall fountains come in a wide variety of styles, shapes and sizes. The most popular interior wall fountains are often made of metal or with natural looking stone and have tiers that the water runs down to create small, pleasant splashing sounds. At the base of the wall fountain there is a container that holds the water and the submersible pump that moves the water around in the fountain.
You can find interior wall fountains made of marble, glass, copper, steel, slate, fiberglass, resin, Plexiglas or even concrete. The type of material you can choose for your own interior wall fountain will depend greatly upon how stable the wall where you plan to install it is. Fountains made out of fiberglass and resin are much lighter weight than other styles and may be more appropriate for you depending upon how sturdy your studs in your wall are. Concrete and stone fountains are the heaviest and can really take a long to get them safely hung.
To install an interior wall fountain, you just need a source of electricity for the fountain and wall studs where you can hang the fountain. You’ll need to make sure that the studs in your wall are sturdy enough to hang whichever style of fountain that you get. The electricity is required to run the pump for the fountain.
You should choose an interior wall fountain that fits with your own personal decorating style and compliments the decor of your room. If you have a modern style a glass or metal wall fountain may be a good choice for you since they are sleeker and fit more nicely with contemporary design. Some glass fountains are even lighted to create extra ambiance and add to the relaxing effect of the fountain.
If your decorating style is more traditional a stone or concrete fountain will likely compliment it nicely. Natural stone fountains have an earthy feel that fits nicely with most decoration schemes and can add to the feeling that you are bringing nature indoors with your fountain.
Fiberglass or resin fountains are a nice choice if your walls are not as sturdy as they could be or if you want a fountain that is easy to move around from one spot to another. Because of their lighter weight these fountains are easy enough for one person to install on their own. Fiberglass and resin fountains can be made to look almost exactly like stone or wood and can be a beautiful addition to a room. Another benefit is that they usually cost much less than fountains made from natural materials but still give close to the same visual effect.
No matter what style of interior wall fountain you choose you will be adding a beautiful, relaxing element to your home that you can enjoy for years to come.
