Home is our Oasis
Create a soothing atmosphere by adding an indoor water feature
Our homes are more than just shelter - they are our comfort, security, a respite from the outside world, an expression of our interests and personalities, and a setting for memories we treasure for a lifetime. Home plays such an important part in our lives, so making it as comfortable and tranquil as possible should be a priority. Water features can bring a sense of balance and harmony into your home in a way that no other object can.
The soothing qualities of nature sounds can relieve tension in our bodies and minds, clearing away negative emotions and helping us think more clearly. While there are many gadgets out there that provide a hollow, artificial replication of nature sounds to help people relax and sleep better, you can get better results with a genuine, live nature sound - that of flowing water. A tabletop fountain, wall fountain, floor fountain or other water feature can transform your home into an oasis of peace and tranquility - an escape from all the tension and stress of the world outside. In addition to the benefit of the water sound, you also receive the additional bonus of negative ions being produced by the falling water. Negative ions can improve your health, vitality, and mood. They're introduced into the air of your home as the water in your fountain drips back into the basin. You can place a water feature nearly anywhere in your home - your bedroom, living room, kitchen, or home office. Children can benefit from the relaxing water sounds as well - it helps block out background noise as they sleep, often resulting in a quicker bedtime routine and more sound sleep each night.
A great example of a beautiful and extremely affordable tabletop fountain is the Envirascape Garden Leaves Relaxation Fountain, pictured at top. This fountain is small enough to fit on nearly any flat surface, making it perfect for bedside or console tables. It has special effects lighting to highlight and dramatize the unique botanical design as well as the flowing water.
If you want a wall fountain but don't have a lot of space, the sleek and simple Dragonfly Wall Fountain may be just what you're looking for. It measures only 8" wide by 23" high and 5" deep, and can also be used as a tabletop fountain. For a more luxurious look, a copper and slate fountain such as the Indian Rustic Springs Vertical Wall Fountain (left) is a one-of-a-kind work of art that will be a stunning focal point.
Make a striking statement with a grand fountain that has the craftsmanship, individuality and scale of a museum art piece. Nothing is more beautiful, unique and functional at the same time as a hand-painted fine art fountain by Harvey Gallery. The High Tide Wall Fountain (right) is a tranquil scene that will whisk you away to a scenic locale every time you look at it. Other designs by Harvey Gallery include a Japanese bridge, a vineyard, a silhouetted tree at twilight and the favorite for children's rooms, an aquarium scene.
