Cottonwood Wall Waterfalls in Slate and Stainless Steel

By Roy Thomsitt

Wall mounted indoor waterfalls are a relatively modern form of home decor, yet they come in a combination of materials that bring together the vintage and the new in some quite atttractive ways.

Waterfalls and rocks are, of course, literally as old as the hills. The mechanics of an wall hanging waterfall and stainless steel are both of a modern era. In a natural waterfall, you will expect to see rocks, and with the artificial indoor waterfalls you will often find that combination replicated.

An excellent example is the wall mounted waterfall above left, which is framed by the sleek, modern yet attractive and easy to clean stainless steel. The rocks in this case come in the form of slate, which is very popular for home decor because of its interesting and often beautiful colour variations.

By using slate, the waterfall becomes immediately unique as no two pieces are the same. While you may choose a colour that forms the bases of the slate, with this product either natural rajah multicolor, green or black slate. This is a very large waterfall for a wall mounted variety, being over 5 feet high and wide. The frame can either be rounded or squared, which is a useful choice to help you select a design that will fit your decor to perfection.

Moonstone Beach Black Pebble Waterfall

Pebbles make for an very natural, variable and attractive constituent of any waterfall or fountain, and they can be particularly effective with wall hanging versions. In the example shown on the left, the pebbles used are black, and if that suits your modern decor, then this could be quite a dramatic choice. The frame here is in brass, powder coated in black. With the sound of falling water, and the upper accent lighting, these wall waterfalls can be a talking point for your visitors and an integral part of your peaceful haven could home when you just want to relax.
