			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://blog.kineticfountains.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/158.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" class="alignright size-full wp-image-2918" />What’s  so appealing about a business sign? While there are always going to be  limits as to the amount of creativity and originality that a business  owner can use when making a roadside sign, once you actually enter their  premises, they can often create signage that is unique or impressive.  One of the most interesting developments in this area is the use of  <a href="http://www.kineticfountains.com/customizable-water-fountains.asp"><strong>custom fountains</strong></a> instead of traditional business signs.</p>
<p>These  fountains are custom-made and incorporate the business logo in an  attractive and suitable manner. For example, a company with an earthy  logo and mission can easily find a good array of options and designs  that use materials suitable to the display of their logo. This might be a  stone background into which the logo is carved or etched, but it might  also be one of the custom fountains that rely on a brushed metal  background too.</p>
<p>This  is the real “beauty” of any personalized or customized fountains – they  are a perfect reflection of a business owner’s taste, style, and  professional esthetic. If you don’t believe that this is the case, just  stop to consider some of the locations in which you have already seen  <a href="http://www.kineticfountains.com/customizable-water-fountains.asp"><strong>custom fountains</strong></a> installed.</p>
<p>They  are found in spas and salons, restaurants and lounges, waiting areas of  all kinds, lobbies for large and small companies, and so much more.  Consider too that most of these fountains actually have the business  logo appearing somewhere on the fixture, and if not, they have some sort  of appropriate art incorporated into the design.</p>
<p>The  trick to selecting the right features begins with the choice in  materials. As we already mentioned, a business might have an “earthy”  esthetic, but a business might have a very streamlined or “clean”  esthetic, a modern or high-tech look, an elegant or opulent look, and so  much more. When a fountain is built with the most appropriate  materials, it is often easier to make further decisions about such  things as the shape and size.</p>
<p>Luckily,  custom fountains are available in every material put to use in the  “stock” models, and often in some that they aren’t. They can easily have  original artwork and graphics added to them, and they can use lighting,  multiple materials, and alternative shapes to meet the needs of the  space or the business.</p>
<p>If  you are looking for a very modern and “cool” feature to use in your  business space, you should consider a customized fountain with your logo  as the perfect centerpiece.<!-- PHP 5.x --></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://blog.kineticfountains.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/112.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3041" />When  a consumer hears the phrase “custom” they often know that they will  still have some serious limitations. For instance, when someone can  custom design a piece of jewelry, they will have to stick to a short  list of materials and some very basic patterns or shapes. When it is  custom fountains, however, a consumer can find vendors with the ability  to provide a lot more flexibility.</p>
<p>For  example, the best vendors will allow their clients to approach them  with sketches and drawings of their personal “vision” and then will work  with them to make that vision a reality. Often, there are limitations  simply because of the mechanics involved in the creation of stock and <a href="http://www.kineticfountains.com/custom-fountain-options.asp"><strong> custom fountains</strong></a>, but the shapes and styles are quite variable.</p>
<p>Just  consider that a modern home or business owner can select from floor,  wall, desk or tabletop, outdoor, and garden styles. These can be mounted  in a number of ways, and this means that a lot of design issues can be  easily resolved through the use of these customizable fountains.</p>
<p>Need  an example? Let’s say that you are a homeowner with a large wall space  that cannot be changed, but which makes one part of the room exceedingly  dark and lifeless. You can work with your fountain vendor to create a  wall or     floor mounted fountain that features lights, reflective  surfaces, and accessories that make the wall much more appealing and  even “window like”.</p>
<p>This  is the beauty of working with <a href="http://www.kineticfountains.com/customizable-water-fountains.asp"><strong>custom fountains</strong></a> – they are an all-around  good solution to a lot of common design flaws and issues. They are,  however, also a great way to enhance a space in a very general manner.  This is one of the reasons that so many businesses add fountains to  their waiting rooms and reception areas or to their entrances and  lobbies.</p>
<p>They  usually choose custom fountains for such times because they are so  easily imprinted with a professional logo. You may not have even  realized that you entered a building with such a fixture because they  create such a smooth transition, but you have probably visited many  restaurants, spas, hotels, and corporate locations that feature  fountains fully customized with a business logo!</p>
<p>Anyone  can design a customized water fountain, and the number of options and  features makes it even easier than ever to create a style that matches  the décor or look of your working or living space.<!-- PHP 5.x --></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://blog.kineticfountains.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/149.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3118" />Did  someone just tell you that custom fountains are among the new “must  have” features in an interior design plan? If so, that person is  correct. If you don’t believe that fountains are a common occurrence in  many interior (as well as exterior) design schemes, just make a visit to  your local shopping mall.</p>
<p>Certainly,  there are the massive courtyard fountains that serve as a major  attraction for visitors, but start looking at the interiors of the many  shops and restaurants. You will begin to notice right away that  everything from the nail salons to the upscale restaurants have <a href="http://www.kineticfountains.com/custom-fountain-options.asp"><strong>custom  fountains</strong></a> installed in their entrances or as a form of wall art.</p>
<p>Where  do they get such interesting accents? There are now many vendors making  standard or stock fountains readily available, and while these are  acceptable and usually of good quality, it is the business owner who  designs and orders one of the <a href="http://www.kineticfountains.com/customizable-water-fountains.asp"><strong>custom fountains</strong></a> who is going to get the  most “bang for their buck”.</p>
<p>This  will be due to the fact that the fountains can be found in a massive  array of styles and designs. You don’t have to stick with a unit made  from only a limited choice of materials and with a limited range of  shapes or sizes when you work with a custom design firm.</p>
<p>Instead,  you can decide on the sort of reaction or results you want to get from  the use of the feature, and then work with a good vendor to put all of  the necessary pieces together. For instance, if your business space has a  very “clean” and “modern” esthetic, you can easily find an array of  styles that will fit seamlessly into your look. This could mean a  polished metal and glass fountain that has your company logo etched into  the background, or it could mean that you elected for a highly polished  stone background with the logo carved into the center.</p>
<p>Whatever your design needs, there are plenty of choices where custom fountains are concerned.</p>
<p>Remember  too that many of the best vendors make styles available with a huge  range of lighting configurations, framing materials, and even with  special art imprinted as the background. This is one of the reasons that  many homeowners also use such custom designs for their living spaces  too.</p>
<p>Fountains  are a very “hot” feature in modern living and working spaces, but the  heat can really get turned up if you also customize your designs.<!-- PHP 5.x --></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://blog.kineticfountains.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/19.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3176" />There  is a lot to be said for an interior space that uses such innovative  accents as custom fountains. This is because such a choice allows the  area to become a “destination” of sorts thanks to the superior qualities  of such a unique accent.</p>
<p>Just  consider the “average” reception area or entrance to a business. While  some good wall art or well-designed lighting can enhance the overall  experience of the space, when there is the gentle sound of water and the  different textures that can be used in <a href="http://www.kineticfountains.com/customizable-water-fountains.asp"><strong>custom fountains</strong></a>, the area  suddenly comes to life.</p>
<p>This  does mean, however, that when a space is going to be equipped with a  fountain, or two, the choices will have to be extremely thoughtful and  full of intent. This is one reason that a custom design will work out as  the optimal choice.</p>
<p>For  example, let’s say that you are the owner of a mid-sized restaurant and  you wanted to make the lounge or waiting area more relaxing and  conducive to conversation. You decide that you can sacrifice some of the  wall space to a fountain, but you need that fountain to work with the  theme and existing décor in the restaurant.</p>
<p>If  you were to just head to a site selling stock or pre-designed  fountains, it is likely that you would find some suitable choices, but  if you also find a vendor selling <a href="http://www.kineticfountains.com/custom-fountain-options.asp"><strong>custom fountains</strong></a>, it means that you  would get to select all of the features so important to a good result.</p>
<p>This  could mean that you could elect to have a stone or slate background  into which your logo is carved, and that this is surrounded by a copper  frame and base. You might also be able to select a good array of  lighting fixtures, river stones at the bottom of the fountain, and even a  unique shape for the entire unit.</p>
<p>The  same things can be said about homeowners or other business owners who  decide that a fountain is a good choice for their space. This is because  custom fountains allow for the ultimate flexibility where looks and use  are concerned.</p>
<p>For  instance, a home or business owner could use their custom floor  fountain as a room divider or in place of a window. They might decide  that the fountain is the perfect backdrop for the reception desk, and  have it imprinted with a colorful logo. Having such a diversity of  options is the reason to work with a vendor making personalized  fountains available.<!-- PHP 5.x --></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://blog.kineticfountains.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/131.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3222" />Do  you really want your home or business to reflect your taste or style?  If you answered yes to that question then you may want to consider  adding some of the more unique and innovative accents currently  available. Among the most interesting, and flexible, are <a href="http://www.kineticfountains.com/custom-fountain-options.asp"><strong>custom  fountains</strong></a>.</p>
<p>These  are found in the form of wall-mounted or floor units, but can even be  purchased as specialized garden, desktop and courtyard models too. They  come in an almost unlimited number of materials that can range from  metal and glass, to acrylic and ceramics.</p>
<p>They  are called <a href="http://www.kineticfountains.com/customizable-water-fountains.asp"><strong>custom fountains</strong></a>, rather than stock styles, because the best  vendors will allow a client to really design their individual purchase.  As an example, we can consider the homeowner who has just redecorated  and remodeled in the popular “Arts and Crafts” style. They would be able  to easily find a customizable fountain design that could be  incorporated into almost any room in their home. This is because they  could work with a vendor offering custom designs, and in this way the  homeowner could choose materials such as brushed metal and rough stone,  that worked beautifully with the design scheme.</p>
<p>Something  that many people immediately ask is if a fountain is really an  effective feature or element in a modern room. It requires only a quick  look around to see that the answer is yes. Take a look at many different  kinds of homes, offices, and/or business spaces, and you are likely to  see an amazing number of custom fountains. Some will feature a business  logo that has been screened, painted, etched or carved into a base  material, and some are functioning purely as a decorative element.</p>
<p>Consider  that fountains are used in place of walls and will visually divide a  room without blocking light or air movement. They are also a great  replacement for a window when there is no possibility for a modification  to a building. They are extremely soothing thanks to the gentle sounds  that they produce, and this makes them suitable for a large array of  applications.</p>
<p>If  you are considering the addition of a fountain to your business or  living space, it is best to begin your search by visiting the website of  a vendor offering custom fountains. In this way you will be able to  easily obtain the widest range of styles and options, and this is the  only way to ensure you get precisely the design you wish.<!-- PHP 5.x --></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://blog.kineticfountains.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/124.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3298" />What better way to showcase your business logo in your office than a <a href="http://www.kineticfountains.com/floor-fountains.asp">floor fountain</a>. The beauty, tranquility, musical, and soothing effects of any water fountain can add to your reception area, conference room, or waiting room. Clients and customers will find themselves staring at the water fountain, and consequently staring at your logo. The more one sees a logo, the more likely it is to be remembered.</p>
<p>In addition to adding a logo to the floor fountain in an office, it can also be added to water fountains purchased and given to clients and other business associates for goodwill. This will get your logo in front of the desired people on a much more regular basis. Every time the client looks at the fountain, they see your logo and are reminded of your business and your generosity.</p>
<p>A logo can be placed on the top of a fountain or on its basin. In addition, the logo can be placed where it is seen through the water. When a floor water fountain made of a glass wall is chosen, the logo can be etched right into the glass. It’s prominent but not flashy. It’s a subtle reminder of your company while the client is on the premises.</p>
<p>The fountain with your logo can be as simple as you desire, or elaborate. The choice is best when it complements the décor of the room in which you intend for it to be placed. Lights can be placed in the fountain or to shine on the fountain and highlight the logo. Personalization is at its best when you combine it with a floor fountain.</p>
<p>Staff, partners, associates, and clients will all enjoy the added touch of a <a href="http://www.kineticfountains.com/floor-fountains.asp">floor water fountain</a> in the office. It improves indoor air quality, which is needed in closed up offices that never receive natural air from windows and outside doors. It immediately relaxes those who may be nervous about why they are visiting you because they are able to enjoy the sounds and beauty of the floor fountain.</p>
<p>Nothing is as welcoming as the sight of a well-placed floor fountain. Immediately attracting the attention of those entering the room, including your logo will ensure that they start to associate you and your logo with beauty, calmness, and composure. This can begin the process of building trust in you and your business.<!-- PHP 5.x --></p>

There is a good reason for this—fountains attraction attention.  Have you ever considered designing your own fountain for your home or office?</p>
<p>You will have a large selection to choose from when shopping for a <a href="http://www.kineticfountains.com/customizable-water-fountains.asp">custom water fountain</a>.  You also have the option of custom designing a fountain for a specific area.  Whether you want to work with a design you have already come up with or simply want to use a modern design standard for today’s fountains, you can find your selection online.</p>
<p>One idea you might think about is putting your business logo on the slate by way of engraving.  You could also use glass in the design, and have water running over it for aesthetic purposes.  There are custom water fountains available for all areas of your home, from your lobby to your courtyard.  Options are available inside or outside.  Remember also the option of floor fountains and tabletop fountains.</p>
<p>Just imagine what a courtyard would look like if you included a custom water fountain as part of the planning.  It can make a home appear stately and definitely spruce up a business office.  Custom water fountains can be made from any number of materials.  Some homeowners have used glass, while others have made selections in stainless steel, fiberglass, copper, brass, ceramic and stone.  It really depends on the skill level of the artist who designs the fountain.  No wonder then that hotel companies, art galleries and even retail stores make use of these client-drawing attractions.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.kineticfountains.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/restaurant-custom-1-ww1.jpg" rel="lightbox[389]" title="Custom Fountains"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-541" title="Custom Fountains" src="http://blog.kineticfountains.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/restaurant-custom-1-ww1.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a>What is your first step in choosing a <a href="http://www.kineticfountains.com/custom-fountain-options.asp">custom fountain</a>?  Determine what type of fountain you want (as in where you want it placed) as well as the materials you desire, and any other specific information that a designer would need to know.  Remember, there are fountains for gardens, ponds and even solar fountains.  Fountains are works of art in their own right, and also bring psychological benefits to any environment.  They give off soothing noise which can be relaxing.  You can shop for custom water fountains online and talk to someone about the custom-designing process before you place a final order.</p>
<p>If you have always envisioned a fountain inside or outside your home and want your guests to feel invited, then consider installing a fountain.  It will help your home or office to give off an air of tranquility and prosperity to your invited guests.<!-- PHP 5.x --></p>

There are numerous types of fountains and a number of spaces and places where they can be implemented.  The fountain that will work best for your space will depend on a number of things, including the size and intention of the space, but ultimately the design will depend on your personal tastes.  What follows are a few tips for creating the right <a href="http://www.kineticfountains.com/custom-fountain-options.asp">custom fountain</a> for your space.</p>
<p>One thing that is important to keep in mind is that while a fountain can be a wonderful focal point for a lobby or large outdoor area, it should not be a distraction in offices and homes.  Your fountain should not be so large as to dominate a space or so noisy that it interferes with conversations or daily routines.  The idea of a fountain is to create a sense on relaxation and ambiance and to provide décor, and making sure that the fountain sticks to these principles is always important.  <a href="http://www.kineticfountains.com/customizable-water-fountains.asp">Custom water fountains</a> can be creatively designed for virtually any room or space.</p>
<p>When working with smaller spaces, an excellent idea is to implement a wall mounted fountain.  This can be done quite easily and can add a great deal of elegance to virtually any room without imposing upon your floor space or seeming too large for the area.  Wall mounted models make excellent custom fountains for living rooms, bedrooms, offices, and small waiting rooms.  A pleasing design and a subtle sound, such as water rushing over rocks, can prove to be very relaxing without becoming an annoyance for people working within the space.</p>
<p>Another important thing to keep in mind when working with a custom water fountain is that you will want a model that will work with any décor.  You may choose a fountain that is simple or elaborate, but you will want to consider the space carefully.  Stone designs and glass designs work with any color or decorative scheme.  Lighted fountains often rely on colored lights to create different color patterns, making them equally easy to adjust for your décor.  The style and design that you choose will certainly depend on your tastes, and with a bit of thought into the design and intent of your room you can easily choose a fountain that will always provide the décor and ambiance that you are looking for.<!-- PHP 5.x --></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-545" title="Custom Water Fountains" src="http://blog.kineticfountains.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/DSC00310.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" />A custom fountain can be a great addition to virtually any space.  While this is true for homes and gardens, it is equally true for businesses and commercial spaces.  Whether you seek to create an elaborate display for a store or business or to enhance the appeal of a park, complex, or other commercial site, utilizing a well placed water fountain is certainly one of the best ways to do so.</p>
<p>There are numerous types of commercial <a href="http://www.kineticfountains.com/custom-fountain-options.asp">custom water fountains</a>.  Business owners will find that they can choose from fountains that are designed to be purely artistic to those that are considered architectural masterpieces.  Whether indoor or outdoor, your fountain can be made from a part of your existing structure or can stand alone in the center of a space.  Your options are surprisingly versatile and you will discover that you can choose from a number of types and designs.</p>
<p>One of the many benefits that a fountain can provide is that it offers an aesthetically pleasing way to break up a large space.  A sprawling lobby or significant outdoor area can seem blank and uninviting, yet with the addition of a <a href="http://www.kineticfountains.com/customizable-water-fountains.asp">custom fountain</a> the same space can become instantly elegant and inviting.  A remarkable indoor or outdoor wall fountain can create a building that clients and customers will remember, and standalone fountains offer an artistic scene that will instantly draw the eye and evoke a sense of awe and calm.</p>
<p>When selecting a fountain, it is always worthwhile to consider one that will offer benefit to the environment.  Many outdoor fountains provide a landing spot for local birds, while indoor fountains work as natural humidifiers to improve the air quality of a space.  A custom water fountain can also be designed to be water and energy efficient, reducing the impact to the environment while offering benefit to people and animals in the area.  Whether you are looking to create a unique waterfall or rock fountain or simply to integrate a unique design into the existing structure of your building, you will discover that custom fountains have much to offer your space in terms of beauty and branding.</p>
<p>An elaborate fountain or even a simple, classic water feature can help people remember your business or complex.  A custom water fountain is much more than a simple decoration and should be something that is well designed and thought out.  Your fountain can work to draw in clients and to improve the beauty and value of a space.  Taking the time to select the best fountain for your commercial space will result in achieving the aesthetic and economic results that you have been hoping for.<!-- PHP 5.x --></p>
