Garden fountains are beauty hidden in noble materials

There was a time when it was enough to plant a few spruce trees and have a trimmed lawn to make our yard shine by example. However, just like human behavior, times are changing fast. Trends, trends and architectural pursuits, even though more and more modernity still yearn for something. Such an example is garden fountains, which are an outstanding classic product in the whole sense of the word.

We still love the old traditional and good craftsmanship, carrying more than a large dose of minimalism. Coolness, eccentricity and shocking is slowly boring the public. We crave normality, without complexities and twisted bizarre designs. What was already ancient has worked to some extent, and today we see a great return to home port.

As I imagine it

If we are thinking about holistic furnishing of our yard, let’s think in terms of a beautiful garden. A little Baroque, neoclassical breath, or sophisticated antique garden fountains will not hurt anyone. Patterns taken from bygone eras are ideal for the design of traditional villas and residences. They create the style already at the entrance, which is then to be maintained in the house itself.

So, in fact, from the entrance gate we give a signal to our guests what they will be dealing with. The unbreakable bonds of design and the veritable correlation of the old will impress everyone. The choice of individual products, like garden fountains, cannot be random, because the holistic nature of the entire project must apply at all stages. And no one here encourages us to make our gardens an antique store, just to look at it from a completely different angle.

Garden fountains a cure for large space?

I think that such products will not only work well in huge palace parks, or a sizable garden space. The square footage of the yard itself are very relative terms, so it is important how it is landscaped. An important question, then, is whether we inherited our oasis from the former owner, or whether we shape its face ourselves. The condition of the stand of trees, its size, plantings of plants and garden architecture must harmonize with each other. The times when Garden gnomes were ridiculous, passed into oblivion.

Besides, for many years they have been a sign of disrespect for fairy tale characters. Those who love real dwarfs will never disfigure their garden with colorful cartoon figures. Of course, I’m not denying it, but it’s better to look for high-quality figures, made by real artists.

These are naturally choices, decisions and the formation of our egos in the environment we live in. That’s why there is more and more emphasis on experience than mere possession. Without a shadow of a doubt, fake and mass-produced garden items, we can create our own backyards. I know that these are not easy tasks, but the future should be correlated with the past.

We have always loved simple solutions

Well, because the garden itself is something that was created in primitive times, when we were still acquiring tools for work. The first bold ancient products were created out of a love of art, order and a complimentary knowledge of garden space design. And it was garden fountains that were increasingly part of that rhetoric. That is, when creating a visualization of a yard, it was often this particular product that stood at the center of it.

And, in principle, the area is of little importance, because you can adjust the size of the fountain to our capabilities. As for me, the most important factor is where it should stand. On the one hand, it should be a central location, but on the other, perhaps a little perversely secluded.

Somewhere in a corner, tucked among dense bushes and trees, fabulously situated, it will be a kind of oasis. Perhaps it is precisely against representativeness that something dictates to us. We can hide it and haveown piece of paradise, where relaxation will correlate with the sound of water. Isn’t this an excellent idea? It seems so!

Garden fountains – the weight of the species

Small and large prices – these are the choices facing anyone looking for quality products for their garden spaces. And these are not easy topics, as such works of applied art range from a few hundred zlotys to several hundred thousand. So everyone will find room for improvement. However, let’s carefully decide what we are really looking for.

Classic and modern are two different tales, so not everything will work together. The ideal solution for beginner backyard owners are garden fountains made of high-quality clay, or terracotta. I omit synthetic products, because they are not worthy of attention But terracotta itself is in a sense an artistic creation, based on old craft techniques. And such products I will always promote, because this is the land of multigenerational manufactories. Which must be respected and loved, because we are constantly running out of them.

So financial issues at this stage, are quite important. As above, I suggest you first choose from this raw material. Italian fountains made of terracotta cost a few hundred, so it’s not a huge amount of money. We are talking here about products without the accessories needed to pump water. Because the mechanism itself, in many cases you need to buy on your own.

Fantasy has no limits

Although there are many products already equipped with everything we need to let the water run. The cheapest garden fountains are for the wall. Actually, they are sinks, a’la fountains. However, as far as I am concerned, they can be described as an object for letting go of water. They can be considered in terms of smaller forms that we can basically fit everywhere. And this is a good solution for small usable spaces. You can just as well put them on your own terrace.

In principle, these are universal solutions, because we do not embed a garden fountain in a small space. Someone once said that small is beautiful! I completely agree with this. Ok, but not only terracotta man lives. So next up are products made of stone, marble, and also bronze.

Well, and here you already need to have fantasy and money. Because usually the process of production of such molds is a considerable time commitment, so also the cost is higher. I am thinking here of a good few thousand zlotys upwards. Garden bronze fountains can reach prices of several hundred thousand. Admittedly, they are charming and amazing, but here you need a different caliber of garden and residence. Such classics suit extremely elite and expensive gardens.

Garden fountains – correlation with other products

Product alone is not enough to make our garden saturated with art and fantasy. Therefore, we need to decorate our yard with something more. And probably your first thought is pots. That’s exactly what I thought of, because it’s an indispensable image object of any yard or terrace. It is our conscious choice to not only decorate, but to grow our beloved plants.

And here, of course, the choices begin equally with the cost. Therefore, the most versatile and safe goods are clay and terracotta pots. Italians are particularly fond of this line of production, and it is from that part of Europe that beautiful pots come that will form a whole with our garden fountains.

The wide selection will make it practically possible for us to purchase such a set ourselves. And this is due precisely to the multitude of assortment that is available under the Made in Italy banner. Naturally, not only the Italians make interesting garden items, but mainly they have been stealing my heart for many years.

Made in Italy obliges!

Therefore, he directs his search to these places. You must know that terracotta is a high-quality material and can be purchased at relatively good prices. I will say more, it is adapted to our frosts, so this is another key factor in favor of searching for it.

The fountains themselves to garden correlate strongly with various kinds of sculptures and reliefs. And it is somewhat fascinating how you can create a small oasis of art in your own garden. Of course, such products are found in virtually every raw material, but the better quality material, The more expensive the sculpture will be. These are already choices that I leave to you to decide.

I, however, still focus on clay and terracotta, because the quality/price ratio is very good. And these are by no means cheap mass-produced hollowware, because such things I avoid and do not recommend.

A natural garden, in my opinion, needs natural materials, so we should rely on nature, meaning wood, stone and clay. This will really harmonize with the other aspects of our beautiful gardens or even terraces.

Choices, therefore, should be conscious, lined with nothing more than the love of creating a piece of one’s own space for relaxation. Large and small forms can correlate beautifully, but it takes consideration and a good designer’s hand. And in such criteria you should look for appropriate solutions. And such an approach I wish you!
