Our Top Picks
Teardrop Wall Fountain by Make Lemonade
The Make Lemonade wall fountain combines the modern with the classic. Designed with LED lights and a natural stone look, it fuses together with a metallic frame for a chic, positive vibe.
However, this fountain may be more practical than attractive. It can be moved indoors or outdoors. It’s available in charcoal or tan, plus three different styles to fit your own; oval, rectangle, and our personal favorite, teardrop.
This wall fountain is also very durable, and rain-proof. It also has a splash resistant insert to make sure no water escapes.
It’s also smaller than most wall fountains. This model is good for smaller homes or apartments. Also, since the fountain is smaller, so is the cost.
