Why you should install an indoor water fountain

Indoor water fountains offer a lot of advantages. Installing one of these fountains in your home can help make your property more valuable. 💰 At the same time, fountains have a naturally calming effect that can make your space much nicer to live in.

The best part is, you can easily bring a water fountain into your home, even if you don’t have a lot of space to spare. You can find fountains in a wide range of sizes. ⛲ Some are designed to sit on the table or counter while others are designed to be mounted on the wall.

From an air-quality standpoint, water fountains are extremely beneficial. Not only do they add humidity to the air but they also help remove contaminants by releasing negative ions. Thanks to their ability to improve indoor air quality, water fountains are a great choice for homes with young children or for people who have respiratory conditions like allergies or asthma. 😯

Water fountains produce a soft, steady sound that promotes relaxation. Placing a fountain in your home can make your space more comfortable and inviting. 💆 It can also help cancel out any loud or obnoxious sounds from outside your home. The stress-relieving properties of fountains can benefit people of all ages, making them a great choice for families. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Both kids and adults will enjoy the peaceful atmosphere that they create.

Water fountain styles

Imagine how amazing it would be to be able to lay next to a waterfall or a babbling brook all day. That is exactly the type of experience that you can bring into your home by installing a waterfall style fountain. ⛲ These fountains are far more affordable than you might think. They aren’t just a luxury that the rich can afford. No matter how much or how little money you have to spend, you should be able to find a fountain that is perfect for your home. 🏡 Whether you wind up with a tiny tabletop fountain or a much larger wall-mounted model, the benefits are the same.

1. Tabletop fountains

These small fountains are designed to sit on a counter or a tabletop. They come in a wide range of styles and are perfect for smaller homes. 😍 You should be able to find a fountain that perfectly matches your existing decorating scheme.

Oriental-themed fountains are extremely popular with today’s homeowners. Oftentimes, they are installed in conjunction with Zen gardens. Depending on the design of the fountain, it may have additional features like LED lights. 💡 You can find these fountains in many different materials including stone, wood, or bamboo. In most cases, these fountains use electricity as a power source. There are battery-operated models available, as well. 🔋

2. Floor fountains

Freestanding floor fountains are also available in many different styles. ⛲ Typically, they are much larger than tabletop fountains. In terms of their design, they are extremely similar to smaller fountains. You may be able to find a little bit more variety with floor-standing models, however, since they are usually quite a bit bigger. 😃

Glass fountains are extremely popular, as are fountains that incorporate stainless steel. Although these high-end fountains are often priced a bit higher than standard models, their beauty justifies the extra expense. Keep in mind, as well, that there are more affordable options available if you prefer something on the cheaper end of the scale.

3. Indoor wall fountains

In terms of price, wall fountains are usually the most expensive option. From a style standpoint, however, they are some of the most eye-catching fountains available. 💸

These fountains almost always incorporate glass or mirror. 🔎 Oftentimes, they have metal frames made out of materials like stainless steel. The fountains are designed so that the water runs down the glass, creating a lovely display. In some cases, the fountains are even built directly into the wall, making them a permanent part of the building. 😍

Tips For Choosing An Indoor Fountain

1. Focus on style

Before considering anything else, you should think about the overall style that you want for your fountain. ⛲ When choosing a style, consider the rest of your decor. If you are hoping to create a space for meditation, a small ceramic fountain or a bamboo fountain could be a great choice. 👌

Tabletop fountains are also an excellent option if you don’t have a lot of room to work with. Typically, they work well in homes that aren’t overly cluttered. For a more traditional look, consider going with a fountain that is made out of stone. Stone floor fountains look beautiful placed next to a stairway or positioned in an indoor garden. 🌺

If you have a more modern home, consider looking for a fountain that also has a modern design. There are both wall-mounted and floor models available that are perfect for contemporary spaces. 😯 If you want more advice, check out this guidebook on indoor fountains.

2. Choose your materials

The materials used to make the fountain play a key role in determining how long it will last. ⌚ Ideally, you should choose a fountain that is made from high-end materials that are rugged and durable. If you are on a tight budget, a resin fountain is a good choice. Unlike plastic, which can wear out quickly, the resin tends to last much longer, making it a good investment. ✅ If you are buying a ceramic fountain, look for one that is sturdy and well-made. Typically, ceramic fountains last for a really long time as long as they are properly cared for.

3. Think about how the fountain is powered

Make sure to consider the power source when choosing a fountain. 🔌 Most models are powered by electricity. There are also battery-operated fountains available. Because electricity and water don’t mix, always make sure that the electrical connection is designed in a way that is safe to use around water. 😄

I like the tip you gave to focus on buying a fountain for it’s style, so you can match it with the rest of your home. I am looking to buy a fountain for my mom’s birthday, so I am looking for everything that I need to know in order to buy one that will look nice in her home. I will be sure to focus on style while I am looking for a fountain for her.

I’ve been really stressed while working from home as a writer lately and I think that a little tabletop fountain would really help with that. Your tip about oriental-themed fountains sounds worth looking into, especially if I get a zen garden with it to help with brainstorming or just taking a mental break. I like the idea of getting a battery-powered one, just to avoid too many cords fighting for space on my table.
