Add a Funky Vibe to Your Finished Basement With Art Wall Fountains

It does not matter if you have turned your finished basement into a game room, media room or home bar, it deserves the same amount of attention as the rest of your home. After all, if you are like most other people who invest a great amount of time in their basement, you will likely end up spending a lot of time down there!

Why Choose an Art Wall Fountain?

Maybe you already have elegant wall fountains upstairs in your primary living space, but with this being an entirely different floor, you do not have to continue the theme in the basement. Why not get a little funky and experiment with the colors and prints that you secretly wish that you had the nerve to use upstairs?

Chances are good that you have been in a store, looking through a magazine or shopping online and you have seen a purple wall, crazy décor pieces and bean bag sofas that you absolutely love. Well, now is the time to buy these items you love and create a unique space in your basement that is guaranteed to make you smile. An artistic wall fountain will be the icing on the cake!

What is It?

If you are not familiar with these unique fountains, you are certainly not alone. Although they are not necessarily anything new, they are pretty rare, and not all that easy to find.

Well, in a nutshell, they are paintings on a canvas that act as the backdrop to the cascading water. The image is typically hand-painted, which means that each and every art wall fountain is a one-of-a-kind. Sometimes, special paint is even used that mimics the look of stained glass.

A protective coating seals the painting so that it is unaffected by the water and they often have LEDs too, which highlight the art as well as the gentle curves of the water.

These wall fountains are ideal for any space, especially one that could really be a dynamic focal point. You will also find that some of these water features even have three-dimensional elements that really bring them to life.

It does not matter if you have a contemporary, county cottage, Victorian, safari or Asian theme upstairs, a finished basement gives you the space to just go wild and let your imagination dictate the décor. You could always buy an art wall fountain first, and let that be your inspiration for the rest of the room!

Water Fountains for the Home Come in an Array of Styles

If you have not started shopping for water fountains for the home yet, prepare to be pretty blown away. Few people are prepared to be faced with so many options, which can make the shopping process as challenging as it is exciting. It is pretty much impossible to narrow the selection to just one, so do not be surprised if you start with one and make a list of others that you want to also buy in the near future.

Wall

This category definitely includes some of the most show-stopping pieces. Wall fountains are ideal because they eliminate the need for a canvas or other art, because they create the only focal point that you need. Plus, they are up and out-of-the-way of foot traffic. Not to mention, curious fingers and paws can't splash around and play in the water, which is great for homes with kids and pets. Some are simply a face of marble, slate or some other type of material, but they make a bold impact. There are also some that look like paintings, but the water flows over the specially treated canvas.

Floor

If you have the available floor space, these water fountains for the home make a lasting impression. This could be because most are large and captivating, or it could be because they are not as common, so when guests see them, they are pretty much impossible to forget. You always want to be mindful of where you place these, because you don't want someone tripping over the base or turning around and walking right into one. Corners are always ideal locations for them.

Like wall fountains, some are simplistic yet stunning while others are a little more creative. For example, there are bubble fountains available now where all the water is contained inside panels that showcase moving bubbles with purple, green, blue or other color LEDs.

Tabletop

There is no such thing as having too many tabletop water fountains for the home. They can fit virtually anywhere, so place one on an end table, nightstand, entertainment center, kitchen counter, desk or anywhere else you please. They are available in just about any material, color, size and theme imaginable so it does not matter how unique your space is, there will be a tabletop fountain that is sure to match it perfectly. Since they hold less water, always make sure that you check the water level periodically to ensure the pump remains covered.
