Indoor Fountains
Sophisticated Style
For a breathtaking and mesmerizing addition to your home décor, consider the benefits of indoor fountains. Centered on the element of flowing water, fountains are known to invigorate the air, sooth tensions, and create an ambiance of calmness and serenity. Whether you choose a tabletop fountain, sculpture fountain, wall-mounted fountain, floor fountain, or an original contemporary fountain, decorative indoor fountains are sure to add life and sophisticated style to any room.
Decorative Fountain Finishes
Indoor fountain finishes range from classic and traditional to New Age and inventive. Products include weathered stone fountains, sculpture fountains, original rock fountains, copper fountains, tarnished metal fountains, crystal fountains, gemstone fountains, fiberglass fountains, solar fountains, and more. Decorative fountains are not merely accents and accessories; they are dramatic centerpieces and exclusive works of art in their own right.
Invigorating Properties of Water
Flowing water is well known for its ability to promote health, vitality, and peace of mind. Designed to evoke a sense of getting in touch with nature, decorative fountains are reminiscent of sitting by a cool stream, country pond, or waterfall. Further, the soothing sounds of cascading water are associated with meditation techniques and practices, and thus many fountain designs appear Asian in style.
Types of Indoor Fountains
Tabletop Fountains: For a classy conversation piece, add a tabletop fountain to your desktop, beside table, or coffee table, or make it the dining room centerpiece. An original means of adding variety to any room, tabletop water fountains make great gifts for your friends, family, and co-workers. The tranquil nature of water is also said to increase brain activity, clear the mind, and allow creativity to flow.
Wall-Mounted Fountains
True masterpieces of hanging art, wall-mounted fountains feature a continuous flow of streaming or cascading water into a basin below. With myriads of styles, shapes, and designs to choose from, select the fountain that best compliments your existing inside décor, or make the decorative fountain your focal point and select room furnishings to match. For a particularly dramatic effect, hang a wall-mounted fountain on a bare wall or highlight with strategically directed lights or lamps.
Floor Fountains
Indoor floor fountains make a definitive fashion statement that will yield standing ovations from admirers. A particularly striking floor fountain is the reflective floor fountain, which uses the reflective/refractive effect of mirrored surfaces to dazzle the eyes of the beholder.
Decorative Fountain Advice
Do not place decorative fountains in areas where splashed water could create a health/safety hazard. Similarly, do not locate indoor fountains above or near antiques, valuable art work, or furniture which could be damaged or stained by water.
If you have a garden or patio, consider beautifying your landscape with a decorative garden fountain or bird bath.
