Use High End Custom Fountains to Inspire You

We sell water fountains to suit any budget, from students who want a soothing tabletop fountain on their desk to custom water features for major corporations. Past articles have focused on household and small business needs, but this time around, let’s look at the top of the scale, and see what we can learn about using any fountain as a design element.

A custom fountain or commercial fountain design that’s priced over $10,000 is truly a thing of beauty (and in our case, the rates are competitive for what you, get, even at that end of the scale). At this price point it makes sense to renovate around the fountain to better integrate it into the space. As you can see in our custom water fountain gallery some of the most popular options are to recess the fountain into a wall, or to use the fountain’s contours to help guide the shape of the room. High end water fountains often have graceful curves that have been hand built into the fountain. Once again, budget makes a difference, as our finest fountains are only examples of what can be done with a general style; we can adapt them to a client’s specific needs.

What do you get out of this is you’re looking at buying a more economical, standard wall water fountain? It’s simple: You can put the same principles to work in a home or smaller office, even when you don’t have the budget to extensively modify your interior to fit the fountain. The secret is to inventively use what’s in your budget to create the same impression. For example, you may not be able to practically recess your wall fountain, but you can give it apparent depth by framing it with furniture, plants and standing lighting. This sets the fountain back from general traffic so that it won’t look like it’s sticking out into a room. In a similar vein, if you’d like to create the impression of a smooth curve, selecting a fountain with a rounded basin does part of the job for you. After that, find pieces of household décor that you can place to follow the curved line, filling in space that would otherwise seem jarring.

We’ve been proud to work with major corporations including AAA, Lexus and Dewar’s. These are institutions that rely on making a positive impression that also tells visitors something about each company. AAA projects reliability, Lexus, luxury and Dewar’s, tradition. The custom fountain gallery shows you how each of these clients express its branding through a fountain. As an individual, you also have a “brand:” your individual décor and sense of style. Ask yourself what these companies ask of themselves. What kind of person are you? What kind of person do you want to look like? The best styling is a marriage between these two impulses. It’s consistent with the décor you already own, but takes it a step further, to express your most positive qualities. When you purchase and install a water fountain, keep that rule in mind, and you’ll be able to make a truly powerful impression.
