Slate Floor Fountains

As spa-inspired themes and contemporary living have seen an explosion in population, so have slate floor fountains.  They offer a look of strength, mystery and unparalleled beauty all in one and with their natural tones, they are ideal to pair up with many different color palettes.  Slate is also a preferred choice in water features because it is one of the most durable raw materials, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.

When you first begin shopping for a slate floor water fountain, you will find that the decision is probably a little tougher than you could have imagined.  With all of the gorgeous styles that are available today, narrowing down your list of favorites to only one can certainly be pretty challenging.  Fortunately, there are no fountain rules that say you can only have one! 

Placement

Slate floor water features make a bold statement that demands their well-deserved attention.  Therefore, proper placement is always crucial!  Aim to match the size of the fountain accordingly with the size of the wall, otherwise the room can quickly look off balanced.

Although there are some floor fountains that are small and will politely tuck away in a corner, most are at least three feet tall.  These should certainly be showcased where they will get noticed the best such as an entryway, near a fireplace or on a primary wall.

Styles

Slate provides a very earthy, natural look so you will find that many of these types of floor slate water fountains will have a very serene look to them.  Tall, vertical fountains are quite popular and many even have built in LEDs to add to the dramatic look.  Want something a little different?  Why not a carved out zigzag pattern or one that offers a mixture of different colored pieces of slate for an even more textured appearance?

Benefits

Aside from the fact that a slate floor water feature will add to the aesthetic of your home, it will serve more purposes other than just being a focal point of beauty.  Water slowly streaming over a piece of slate is a pure, calming sound, unlike anything you have ever heard.  Not only do these fountains look natural, they sound that way as well.

Slate fountains will turn your home into a peaceful oasis.  Suddenly, your stressful day won't seem so bad once you're home and in the presence of something so beautiful, powerful and soothing.
