Modern Waterfalls
A waterfall is a spectacular feature for any outdoor space, it will fill the space with a soothing feel thanks to the sound of falling water. How can a modern waterfall look like? The most popular idea is a box-like or bowl-like waterfall made of concrete, stone or metal, you get several bowls and water flows from one into the other. Another idea is incorporating your waterfall into a wooden slab, get some faucets and a large bowl where your water will flow. Stick to modern materials like stone, concrete, metal and very sleek and clean lines.
