There are different types of fountains like wall, floor, tabletop – indoor and outdoor fountains. One has to decide what type of fountain he needs. Then the next step is to decide the size of the fountain, i.e. the different sizes of the fountains are available in different categories. Always choose a fountain that is most suitable for one home or office.

Types Of Approaches To Choose Fountain

1. Wall Fountains

There are two types of wall fountains – vertical and horizontal. Once the decision has been taken to buy wall fountains, the next step is to decide where to place the fountain. Before the place is finalized ,measure the space by looking at the ceiling height and wall length. If the ceiling is tall, buy a fountain that is vertically tall. If the wall is long and the ceiling is low then decide on a horizontal fountain. Also make it a point to note the depth of the wall fountain. If the wall fountain is planned to be put in the narrow passage , there is a possibility of people brushing up against it. Some of the approaches to measure the wall fountain are listed below

a. Four corners Approach
b. Outline Approach
c. Poster Board Cut-out approach

2. Tabletop Fountain

While buying a tabletop fountain make sure that the desk or the nightstand will accommodate the diameter of the container. The diameter is the deciding factor in a tabletop fountain. If the height is the concern , check the height of the fountain by stacking books to that height to verify clearance

3. Floor Fountains

Once the place for the floor fountains are decide then that area can be measured by placing a similar sized object. Here the width is the most important measurement. The height can be judged by stacking boxes in the area of the fountain.

4. Outdoor Fountains

Buy an outdoor fountain depending on the availability of the garden space. If the garden is big then buy a big fountain that would suit the size of the fountain.
