A fountain’s style should reflect its surrounding aesthetic, whether that be a quaint cottage garden or an ultra-modern outdoor space. Often used as a focal point, wall fountains are typically situated at the end of a path or the side of a garden to create a balanced space. Beyond their obvious decorative quality, water features bring a host of wellbeing benefits – a popular element of contemporary garden design.
THE SOOTHING SOUND OF WATER
Listening to flowing water is recognised as natural stress therapy. Whether enjoyed as background sound or absorbed while sitting nearby, flowing water refreshes the mind and also drowns out other unwanted sounds such as traffic, building works or noisy neighbours. Walking into the garden and relaxing by a water fountain is an effortless way to escape to nature for some stress relief.

WATER AS A NATURAL HUMIDIFIER
Water adds moisture and purifies the air. So the humble wall fountain serves as a natural humidifier and purifier. Installing a fountain can help those who suffer from allergies or who live in a very dry climate, prone to airborne road dust. Indoor plants are also known to thrive in dust-free, humid environments.
To optimise the humidification effect, choose a fountain that has a high rate of water flow, such as the Pietro Stoneware Weathered Zinc 3-Spout Fountain from Martin Kellock Pots and Planters.
WATER IONISATION HELPS ELEVATE MOOD
Negative ions clear the air and prevent hazardous airborne particles from forming. Flowing water produces negative ions, which also increase serotonin (the “feel good” hormone) in humans. Therefore, it makes sense to integrate fountains in both indoor and outdoor spaces.
Martin Kellock Pots and Planters is proud to introduce new wall fountains into their Pietro Stoneware range. These beautiful fountains offer something for every taste.

Crafted from Glass Fibre Reinforced Cement (GRC), this range of wall fountains are stronger than concrete but weigh 75 percent less. This means you can easily achieve an impressive, robust feature in spaces that are usually too awkward for installing a heavy concrete piece.
Fountains will give your clients more reason to enjoy their outdoor space – a meditative place to watch and listen to restful flowing water.
