Why Wall Fountains Are Popular Now

The usual fountains that littered many homes and parks before were just those normal, big, well-like structures which occupy quite a lot of space. But now, with the help of man’s creative mind, even fountains now have evolved for the better.

As of the present time, there are now fountains that are space conserving and space efficient, that is, they do not take up space on the floor at all. Now, some of you might wonder how this happened, well the reason would be that they take space from the wall instead. These structures are known as wall water fountains.

Brief Background

The history of wall fountains can be dated back to ancient Rome. What the people thought before as just ordinary drinking troughs or “beverage” actually paved the modern concept of wall fountains. However, before these old wall fountains were actually just one or more faced nozzles, usually stone animal heads, attached to walls. These nozzles spout water which is then caught by stone basin-like structures attached to the same wall below the nozzles. These wall fountains were used as drinking stations.

Modern Wall Fountains

The modern wall fountains that are abundant now are different from their predecessors both in function and in aesthetic look and value. Before, those old wall fountains were just placed on walls to conserve space and for convenient water drinking. However, now wall fountains are now used as more of an ornament.

The wall fountains present today have evolved greatly. Gone are those nozzles spouting water and basins attached to walls. They are replaced with glass panels and plastic or metal cases that give these wall fountains elegant looks. The water is also no longer spouted but flows in a continuous cycle.

These wall fountains are also more popular now and have also increased benefits. They just no longer serve for just plain decors but have upgraded into something more as well.

When attached to the walls, these fountains can help change the total ambiance of a house. A once too bland can seem lively and accommodating with these fountains. They are also quite magnificent and expensive to look at, making the house seem more expensive too.

These fountains have also been deemed to improve the moisture of the room where it is in, keeping the dry atmosphere more humid.

These benefits are only a few of the things that make wall fountains popular today, especially to those people who can afford them.
