Wall Fountain with Copper TapTrying to plan and landscape your outdoor patio can be difficult.  By adding a wall fountain, you can make your patio simply beautiful and bring things to life. Wall fountains take up very little space, meaning you have less to landscape while still offering an amazing patio design.

If you are going for an outdoor patio design that will have a sitting area, you can use wall fountains to border the sitting area. You could also set a standing fountain in between four chairs, and it will become the center of almost every discussion. A shorter fountain is best suited for this design as it allows everyone to see one another and not have to talk over the fountain when engaged in conversation. 

Hanging wall fountains look amazing when surrounded with different colors, so if you are landscaping with flowers, you will want to designate an area where your fountain will stand. You can plant shorter flowers around the entire perimeter of the fountain, or place it right in the middle of an existing flowerbed.   Wall fountains also look great when plants are placed on either side of them, especially if they are symmetrical. You can plant tall flowers or even small trees on either side, to draw attention to your beautiful fountain. Stick to similar colors on both sides, since different colors can actually throw off your entire design. Concrete patios include a number of different outdoor patio settings; therefore, your planning options are many.
