A custom fountain or waterfall can range from a small 2 foot wall or floor standing style or a very large 10 or 20 foot waterfall.Custom fountains truly means custom you can do essentially anything you want when designing and building your waterfall.Here are some common applications and options.
Typically custom waterfalls are either floor standing or wall mounted with materials such as copper or stainless steel and a glass or slate face for the water to cascade down.With a model that sits on a floor or in a niche you can typically choose from a center mount or a rear mount.The main difference is that a center mounted waterfall will be viewable from both sides so it works great in the middle of a room or as a dividing wall.A rear mounted fountain will only be viewed from one side so you will want to place it up against a wall or enclose it in a custom made niche.Both styles are very popular and depending on the fountain application you will find the style that fits your space.If you are designing a waterfall fountain for your office any model with a smooth face can have a logo to personalize it as well.This is very commonly done so that customers have another way to remember your place of business and it will gain a ton of attention!
Some typical applications for custom fountains and waterfalls are medical facilities spas salons banks and general business lobbies and homes.Often times they can be built right into the design of a wall or layout of an office.We have seen many contractors build a niche for the waterfall and somewhat enclose it so it looks like a natural part of the wall.Custom water fountains also look amazing as a room divider.Recently we worked on a project that had the fountain in an Optometrist office.It was placed on a shelf as a room divider for the exam area and the waiting room for everyone to enjoy.Another large project was a beautiful curved waterwall that went from floor to ceiling to divide a dentist waiting area and an orthodontist waiting area.All are very beautiful large fountain applications.

The types of home lamps you choose to accessorize with enhance the design element of lighting. There are different ways of lighting your home to create the mood you want to be in.
If you are trying to create a lively atmosphere for a party use color lights and other bright lights. Keeping the room well lit during a party will put people in a good mood and theyll be more inclined to mingle with different guests. Having light from a lot of different sources throughout the room such as table lamps sconces and floor lamps will allow the guests to see everyone at the party. A great tip for making the room look like its sparkling and festive is to use minilights in various places. You can string the minilights on houseplants or around the bar or entrance table.
On the other hand if you want to set a more romantic mood for a small dinner party or an evening home with the special someone in your life use very dimmed lighting. It isnt necessary to buy new home lamps to create a romantic mood; you can buy light dimmers for your lamps. Table lamps are perfect for creating this type of mood because they arent too bright and come in different styles shapes and colors. A beautiful lamp with lace or a light pink lamp shade and soft light will give the room a romantic touch. For an even more dim lit room turn off the lights and use small votive candles. A flickering candle lit room is very romantic. In this case the lack of light will create a more intimate mood which is perfect for an elegant dinner party or a dinner for two.
Colored lighting can accent the mood of a room but in your home only use it as an accent for the mood you are creating. For a warm comfortable mood use red tones such as orange or pink and for cool relaxed moods use blue or green hues. When you are decorating a room keep in mind that colors furniture accessories paint choices and even lighting affect the mood of a room.
