Timeless water features can enhance both exterior as well as interior spaces, creating domestic harmony and peace.
I enjoyed the variety of fountains featured in Lonny and came to the conclusion that I think I may need to get one for my own home.
Charming Water fountains for home need not be elaborate or require major construction. Some fountains can even simply plug in and become tabletop design features.
Contemporary fountains such as the example above, seem to have their roots based on simple, Asian design. I love the clean aesthetic, almost invisible nature of these water features. It’s Zen living at its best.
Personally, I love when fountains are lit at night, so make sure you are near a power source that can support not only the fountain but some form of outdoor landscape lighting.
Mediterranean style fountains are a timeless look and can enhance both large and small outdoor spaces. Water features have long been the hallmark of Spanish style homes and keeps terraces and courtyards visually cool and tranquil.
Another form of popular fountains are those that have a craft or “repurposed” quality. Using old pots, urns and sculpture to create a home fountain is the essence of living green. Creating a calm outdoor environment with water can be funky, quirky and echo your personality and the soul of your home.

3. A great option for a contemporary water feature would be the sleek Orbital Pedestal Floor Fountain with LED Light.
4. The Classic Three-Tier Reconstituted Granite Fountain is a classic and looks perfect in Mediterranean style homes and courtyards.
