The woman, holding a water-bottle at the top of her body, is also holding a jar in her other hand that completes the fountain cycle. Standing on a petal-style basin, this fountain is really beautiful.

This fantastically grand and beautiful fountain depicting three women - three Graces - would certainly be a wonder for your home or garden. The slender design shows the three women leaning against a column while the decorative piece above their head flows water over their heads. The Roman-style fountain piece is inspired by old myths of bygone times, this would work really well with the old marble styles that were woven through these Roman times. If you were to buy this fountain, you would need to have it fitted into your home plumbing.

Why Get a Fountain?

It’s a good question, but surely this is obvious answer?! You can add a serious level of sophistication and delight to your home. Placing something so beautiful in your garden not only makes it look better, you will also be the talk of your friends and family.

Getting a fountain is also a great way to relax and unwind, as the sound of the flowing water makes for a great background noise to having a chilled-out beer or wine on a beautiful day outdoors.

Choosing Your Own Fountain

There’s a few things you need to take a look at if you’re deciding on getting your own fountain. The specific sign you’re looking at if how well it would fit into your home. This all depends on either the decor you have currently, or, if you’re decorating, then what your home will look like in future. This also applies to your garden.

An important factor in deciding your own ornament for your garden will be how it will be fitted. You can either have a fountain that is plumbed into your home’s currently water system. This won’t be a big job, but would mean it would need to be fitted by a professional. You can also get a fountain that circulates its own water itself. This would mean adding water to the piece, but once this is done the fountain works by itself. These are fairly common for smaller fountains. The only thing worth thinking about here is that you will need to make sure you clean the decoration in winter and while it’s not in use, because stagnant water will become unhealthy. 

Outdoor Water Fountains that Work Perfectly for Smaller Entryways

Even in a tight space, there is room for elegance. Don’t let having a small entryway keep you from achieving the style you so richly deserve. Whether you’re into old-fashioned or modern, lighted or dark, simple or extreme, there are options to fit whatever it is you’re trying to gussy up. We’ve lined up a few interesting items which will have you looking good in no time at all.

Echo Wall Water Fountain

The most modern of the bunch is the Echo Wall Water Fountain. Featuring fiber-reinforced concrete in a variety of colors, this fountain has a smooth style with no frills. Water pours from the single, pointed copper pipe into a basin several feet below. It splashes, the crash echoing off the concrete walls of the basin, spreading the soothing sounds of water all around. In a small entryway, this would be especially dramatic, almost like stepping into a cave behind a waterfall. Well, perhaps not that dramatic, but one can dream. For more on this stunning piece, please see our wall fountain collection. 

Vestibule Wall Garden Water Fountain

Like something out of an old castle, the Vestibule Wall Garden Water Fountain stands proud, welcoming any visitors who may come your way. Standing at a dramatic 65 inches, the fountain features an inset arch over a beautifully designed half basin. Inside the arch is where the magic happens, as a single spigot releases water into a small initial basin, which then splits the stream into three, which then cascade into the large half basin. These four streams of water would provide a light, but not overly loud, sound of water in a small entryway. The basin sits on an intricately designed pedestal, and the whole thing looks as though it is made of bricks torn directly from King Arthur’s Camelot. There is a lot to love about this fountain!

Distressed Pots Fountain With Halogen and LED Lights

I find this to be the most intriguing of the bunch. It calls upon visions of ancient civilizations living in caves with underground rivers. They crafted clay pots to carry the water to their camps or any other place they may need it, but sometimes they might get left behind and slowly begin to erode away. The Distressed Pots Fountain could be exactly that, or it could just be a truly creative idea. As water flows from the top basin, hitting another on each step toward the bottom, lovely water sounds are created. The glow from the accent lighting further enhances the mystical feel, making it seem as though this is a thing that exists outside of time. It is an impressive piece that deserves to be appreciated, which it would be if it were front and center in your small entryway. If you’re interested in this adventure, click here.

Agua Water Fountain in Rust Finish

Coming in at only 15 inches square, this fountain is positively perfect for a small entryway. The nice thing is, you’re not sacrificing quality for that small space, as this thing blends modern and classic styles in a way that’s sure to impress anyone coming to your home. With four pots in four different sizes, the Agua Water Fountain gives unique motion to the water, bringing with it gentle sounds as it flows through each one. The uppermost pot sits on a lovely gray river stone, which contrasts nicely with the rust finish the rest of the fountain features. One neat benefit to the Agua Water Fountain is it can be used indoors, as well, so this would make a nice addition to a foyer or seating area. Does a blend of rustic and modern sound like your thing? Then you’re in luck! Click here to learn more. 

Colonna Garden Water Fountain

Much like the Echo Wall Water Fountain, the Colonna Garden Water Fountain shines in its simplicity. Standing at 2.5 feet tall, the fountain features a small copper spout that releases water into a small basin, which then overflows into a larger basin to being the process all over again. The fountain features clean lines in the graceful arch that turns across the top, enhancing the smooth finish of the fiber reinforced cast stone concrete. This is a great piece to have in a tight space, though with its height, it might be best to somehow elevate it. Even at ground level, though, the Colonna Garden Water Fountain is elegantly peaceful, both in the sounds it puts out and in its style. For more on this lovely fountain, click here.

Valencia Wall Outdoor Water Fountain

This fountain takes me to a rural village in Spain where it sits outside the mayor’s home, letting everyone know it is an important place. Standing at more than five feet tall, it is a sight to behold. Water flows from a spout set into an intricately designed backplate. It falls into a small basin before flowing out of the four notches into the larger basin below. The Valencia Wall Outdoor Water Fountain is a thing of beauty. While it is wide, set up against a wall, as it should be, it only sticks out 17 inches, which isn’t bad in a small entryway. It’s especially not bad if you want to make a statement. Pure elegance is how I would describe this fountain. For more, click here.

Cencillo Garden Water Fountain

This garden fountain is one of the wider ones on this list, but it remains for a good reason: It’s lovely. A large, vertical pot stands in the center of the Cencillo Garden Water Fountain, almost like a lily reaching toward the sun. Water bubbles from the center of it, flowing down the sides of the pot into the basin below, creating soft splashes and beautiful refractions of light. The cast stone, which is available in 31 different colors, offers durability and is given a unique weathered look. It is as though time has touched this piece, but it has only made it better. 

Taking a look back at these beautiful fountains, it’s easy to see what sorts of wonderful things can be done in small spaces. Don’t feel down if you’ve got a small entryway, liven it up with a beautiful water feature sure to entrance anyone who sees it.

Fountains in Russia

When you think about where the most famous outdoor fountains are located, it is likely that Russia will not jump into your mind right away. However, Russia is actually home to many beautiful and famous outdoor fountains. If you have never seen any of these, it may be worth your while to plan a trip to Russia someday. The fountains that we will be discussing today are known as the ‘Friendship of Nations Fountain,’ the ‘Barmaley Fountain,’ the ‘Stone Flower Fountain,’ and the ‘Grand Cascade.’ All of these fountains have a fascinating history that we will be delving into.

The Friendship of Nations Fountain

This ornate fountain can be found in Moscow, Russia. Specifically, it is located near the Russia Exhibition Centre, in a plaza. The fountain showcases 16 statues which are standing in a circle. The statues are meant to represent the members of the former Soviet Union. The fountain was constructed with the purpose of paying homage to the members.

Barmaley Fountain

If you happen to journey through Volgograd, Russia, you may stumble across a fountain known as the Barmaley Fountain. Within the fountain, there are six figures of children, who can be seen dancing around a crocodile. The original fountain was created in the 1930’s, and is actually no longer there. It was restored after nearly being destroyed in the Second World War. After that, it was removed in the 1950s. It was replaced with two replicas a few years back.

The Stone Flower Fountain

 The Exhibition of Economic Achievements in Moscow, Russia is home to something known as the Stone Flower Fountain. Its name and look was based off a flower from a fairy tale ‘The Stone Flower.’ The year that this fountain was constructed was 1954. It had many figures such as birds and fruit. This fountain has musical and lights, and was the first one to do so in the USSR.  

The Grand Cascade

The Grand Cascade is not a singular fountain, but instead is a large group of fountains. There are 64 fountains within the Grand Cascade, including the Samson Fountain. None of the fountains in this ensemble need pumps to operate. They use natural spring water that is collected in reservoirs.

The next time that you are planning a trip, consider going to Russia. Although Russia does not get a lot of recognition for their fountains, it is still worth your while to check it out. The historic fountains that exist there are magnificent to behold. They were all created with a purpose, or to represent something that was happening at the time. Just seeing these pieces can make you feel as though you were part of the history.
