Nowadays, fountains are everyone’s favorite home or office accessories. These wonderfully crafted water features are changing the look of every nook and cranny in the home or office into an elegant, stylish venue.

Here is a look at the latest in water fountain style and designs:

Water Wall

A vertical wall, usually consisting of a sheet of slate, granite, steel, aluminum, or cast resin. Water is pumped into a narrow and hidden channel along the top edge, spilling uniformly across the width of the wall’s face. A super smooth flowing water wall would be the Sheen style (Not to be confused with a “Wall-mounted” fountain, which could be of many designs hung on the wall of a room.)

Animal Element

The style usually represents animals that are living near the water. For example, fishes, turtles, frog, or even birds. Animal designed fountains are freestanding statue with engraved intaglio of these animals.

Architectural Element

The fountain consists of classical ornamentation such as urns, statuary, and gargoyles.

Astronomy

The fountain takes the elements from the solar system, sun, moon, and stars.

Bubbler

This water feature takes a different type where the water is enclosed in a clear structure. Air is pumped into the bottom of the reservoir, resulting to thousands of bubbles being flown upwards through the water. Sometimes, the water is illuminated by a clear or colored light.

Cascade

Water is cascading down from a tiered or terraced waterfall. Two or more reservoirs, pools, or levels.

Children’s

This style incorporates the image of a child – perhaps a freestanding statue or the engraving/intaglio of a child’s face, for example – or some topic associated with children.

Classic / Antiqued

The classic or antiqued finish pertains to any type of fountain that is transformed to look old.

Contemporary

Any fountain designed using new style.

Moving Element

Any element in the fountain that moves in conjunction with the movement of water. For example, a water wheel.

Ocean

The fountain uses elements from the ocean as inspiration for the design, seashells, dolphins, fishing nets, and so forth.

Oriental

The fountain’s style is Asian inspired that includes bamboo, bonsai, sand, and shallow pools.

People Element

This style uses the human form as the main design. Some examples of this style are a human face or hand engraved unto the fountain.

Plant/Flower Element

This style of fountains includes plants as the inspiration for the design.

Religious

The fountain’s design makes use of religious items that is incorporated in the overall design. Examples of these items are angels, a cross, or religious inscriptions usually in latin.

Sheen

The water runs easily down the face of a vertical or slanted surface of the fountain; very little rippling of the water until it reaches the reservoir or receiving pool. The fountain tends to make minimal sound. (A Sheen fountain is an extremely smooth-flowing instance of the Water Wall style.)

Suspended

The main surface down which the water flows is suspended or hanging from a frame or support. Often the water falls from a copper tube to the top edge of the surface.

Tall Fountains

This type of fountain usually stands various feet tall. Example of this sort of fountain is the floor-based type of fountain.
