Indoor Fountains

Get zen with an indoor fountain! The sound of water immediately brings a sense of calm to your home. Have a stressful at-home job? Can't feel comfortable in your own living room? The soothing noise of an indoor fountain might be able to help! Incorporating the natural beauty of water into your home requires some major considerations. First off, what kind of indoor fountain do you want? Most indoor water features come in three types: Wall-mounted, free-standing, or tabletop fountains. All three have their negative and positive features, and it's important to think about which one is right for you.

What size fountain should I buy?

Size is vital when it comes to indoor fountains. Know which room you want to put this fountain in, and what space it will occupy. A wall-mounted fountain can take up quite a bit of space, and requires some coordinating in terms of electrical hookups. A tabletop fountain is much more flexible, and doesn’t usually need anything more than a couple batteries. Double check the requirements for any fountain you’re about to purchase, and make sure to measure the space that you want it to go in.

What else should I consider when buying a fountain?

Before making a purchase, think about where your fountain will go and therefore how much noise you would like it to make. If you're placing it on a covered porch or entryway, a fully streaming fountain is fine, since it won't bother anyone as they try to sleep or relax. On the other hand, a soft bubbling flow in a bedroom or living room can help soothe away stress without interfering, though the same can't be said for a roaring waterfall.

When it comes to placement, you want your water feature to make an impact, but you don't want it to be in the way or annoy any family members or guests. As mentioned, a covered porch or entryway is ideal, since it's displayed without being overbearing.
