By Sharlene Fleming


Outdoor Fountains have always been a popular way to decorate gardens in a home and over the years more and more people choose this great and simple option to help give their garden a feel of style and elegance. As peoples lives, styles and gardens are different, here is a list of the different fountains available.

It is very important to choose the right style and size fountain for the outside area as the whole theme can look completely wrong if you do not decorate it properly. Here are a few ideas on how to pick the right fountain and decorations for your garden.

One of the most popular type of fountain nowadays is the wall fountain, ranging in sizes and styles they can b placed almost anywhere in the garden, adding style and serenity to the area. It does not matter what size garden you have as these can be used in any type of garden and also mixed with other outdoor decorations.

The two most popular types of wall fountains are the drip fountain, which is more traditional and well known, with a bowel placed at the bottom of it to collect the water. And the waterfall theme fountain, that is great when used as a wall feature or to add depth to a smaller garden. When used in larger areas, these fountains can be mixed with other features such as pools or ponds to give the garden a whole new feel.

Base fountains are the most common type to be found in a garden and have been used over the years to add elegance to the larger gardens. When choosing this type of fountain it is important to keep in mind the size of the space that it is going to be fitted into as a large fountain of this type placed in a small area can look out of place and destroy the entire theme.

When used in a large garden, base fountains can be moulded and decorated to match your tastes perfectly. You can choose between more modern looks or go for the more traditional Spanish, French and Roman styles that have been used over the years. By adding lights and flowers or even certain fish around and in the fountain you can create a perfect area in your garden in which you can relax.

If your garden ranges on the smaller side of the scale, you do not have to give up hope of having one of these fountains. You can now find an entire range of small fountains dedicated to the smaller garden, from birdbaths to Japanese styles, you will find that you can decorate the smallest space with beautiful decorations and still get that feeling of serenity and simplicity without having to go for the bigger items.

If you are not really sure how to start with the decoration of your garden and feel that you could need a bit of help, you can always look for ideas on the internet or ask you local garden shop for advise. Make sure you get your measurements right before installing any outdoor fountains in your garden to not regret the final result in the end.
