Purpose: Determine the main function of the fountain. Is it for aesthetic appeal, creating ambiance, or for sound (e.g., masking noise)?
Style: Consider the architectural style of the surrounding space. Options include modern, traditional, rustic, or whimsical designs. Choose a style that complements the existing environment.
Size and Scale: Assess the space available. A large, dramatic fountain might overwhelm a small garden, while a tiny fountain might get lost in a larger landscape.
Material: Common materials include stone, concrete, metal, and fiberglass. Each has its own aesthetic and durability, so consider the look you want and the climate conditions.
Water Features: Decide on the type of water feature you prefer—such as tiered, wall-mounted, or pond fountains. The flow and sound of the water can greatly impact the atmosphere.
Lighting: Incorporating lighting can enhance the fountain’s beauty at night. Consider how the fountain will be illuminated and the effect you want to achieve.
Maintenance: Some designs require more upkeep than others. Choose a fountain that fits your willingness to maintain it over time.
Budget: Establish a budget that includes not just the fountain itself, but also installation, maintenance, and any additional features.
Surroundings: Think about landscaping, seating, and other elements nearby. A fountain can be a focal point, so plan how it integrates with the overall design.
Local Regulations: Check for any zoning laws or regulations regarding water features in your area.
