Hi folks
We are a little stuck for ideas, for a water feature. Garden just been hard/soft landscaped. Attached some pictures, showing the trough we have had built. Looking for ideas to make it “wow”.
Ideas welcome . We are based in Warrington, Cheshire.
Many thanks in advance.

In need of ideas /advice on feature wall in bedroom
Comments (10)Hi, As most people have already pointed out, a good design isn't just about one element like the wallpaper. It is about creating layers and balancing the elements correctly. I too think your gold could work perfectly well with the other walls, carpet and furniture, but you now need to layer accessories/soft furnishings and create a great balance that brings the scheme to life. One of the major problems with the space is the large 'gap' you have about the headboard. It may feel like it's the papers fault but you are just processing the gap as being uncomfortable.. Fill it with a mirror, art work or (I like the idea of) the fabric panel.. And this will make the room feel instantly more comfortable and inviting.. Add a few layers of cushions and you will have a great space. Keep us posted and best of luck, Gina...See MoreDilemma - need ideas for old hot water cupboard/wardrobe
Comments (6)Thank you ok this is what I think you may be able to do, If the platform can be removed the use this side (the widest side for two hanging rails one above the other approx 1 metre in between, On the narrow side, left of door, use this space to create shelving floor to ceiling this can follow along the back wall opposite the door with a supporting side to hold them. This gives double the hanging space and loads of shelf storage for bedding and the things already stored. The hanging side will only take up approx 600 mm depth from wall so you will also have space to store any freestanding tall items that will not fit on the shelves. Shelves could be spaced at 300 mm apart depending on what you need to store. Hope this helps....See MoreCan anyone advise me on water features for this rockery please?
Comments (6)Hi Carolina thanks so much for taking the time to advise. I like the look of the water running down the hill but wonder if that might work better in a different setting. The side sections of the rockery are very close to the main living room patio. i really like the idea of the water running down from the top but I wonder it might be too much of a tight squeeze for the pond part as the lawn is very narrow above it and to the retaining wall, such a skinny strip to play with. It is so frustrating! Or did you mean putting the pond part on the bottom section? Sorry! I suppose this is another option but nowhere near as attractive as your suggestions but if the pond isn't an option on the middle section, what do you think about something like this wall hung in centre of bottom wall?...See MoreDesign ideas needed for kitchen with unusual features

5 years agoYes those spouts can be noisy. My modest water feature has bubbling water which gives a gentle, relaxing sound.
