Creating and maintaining a clean, organized and appealing interior can be stressful. Adding the task of caring for the outside of our homes to our to-do lists can be headache-inducing. That’s why it’s understandable that when it comes to household upkeep, it’s often outside areas that are given low priority, particularly during the cooler months. But creating a clean and restful patio, yard or garden space doesn’t have to be a big hassle — even if you don’t have much of a green thumb.
Ideally your outdoor area should be one of the most relaxing places in your home, where you can enjoy getting fresh air. One of the most relaxing things in the world is water, and sound of falling water especially, so if you add a water feature to your garden, your outdoor space will become more welcoming. A water feature always transforms a space, harmonizes it with its freshness and sounds of water flowing. Fountains can be different – classic and glam, shabby chic and zen, designer’s and DIY – find the best option. We’ve gathered the coolest traditional and out of the box fountains for your outdoors, take a look and choose!
Traditional Fountains
Traditional-looking fountains can be very different: they can be elegant tiered ones like you could see in some Spanish homes and gardens, they can be traditionally Asian, made of bamboo, traditionally Eastern – these are mostly walls with water falling or faucets with some bowls with pebbles. They can be modern – bowls with rocks and stones, stone slabs as fountains, ultra-modern planter fountains and so on. The idea is about choosing a traditional water feature that matches your own outdoor space, depending on the style and even plants you have and according to the effect you want to achieve.
