Decorating
with Table Fountains
by Johann Erickson

With
unlimited possibilities available, table top fountains can add
understated beauty or grandeur to any room in your house. Fountains
are a worthy investment even for those who hesitate to spend money
on aesthetics. Beyond eye-catching appeal, you'll find that
fountains have practical health benefits.
Cascading water reduces stress by bringing a sense of tranquility
into a room as it engages the senses—sight, sound, and even smell.
Research has shown that moving water can improve air quality by
cleansing the room of dust particles and working as a humidifier.
Fountains also do the following:
- Table Top Fountains soothe the soul with natural outdoor
sounds.
- Table Top Fountains offer a visually appealing focal point to
a family room or home work space.
- Table Top Fountains filter sounds like computer noise, a
refrigerator hum, or next room telephone conversations.
- Table Top Fountains provide aromatherapy when candlelight is
included in the design.
Options include table fountains, floor fountains and wall
water fountains. You can find a table top fountain to compliment
your current decorative choices. Far more interesting than a table
lamp and more appealing than a decorative
candle holder, these conveniently sized fountains eliminate the
mundane. Easy to set up and even easier to maintain, space saving
compact designs come in layered
slate, granite sculpture, handcrafted wood, or any other
material you desire.
Floor fountains compliment larger spaces than table top fountains.
Floor fountains are a perfect choice for foyers, rooms with vaulted
ceilings, and enclosed patios.
Floor fountains make a statement about a space and those who have
decorated it. Choose the fountain according to the overall look you
are trying to achieve in your decor. For example--antique copper and
river
rocks present a rustic feel while a full-fledged waterfall makes
an exotic impression.
Wall
water fountains are the most dramatic fountains of the three.
You can mount a wall fountain in a prominent place or build it into
a wall. An entire wall can be transformed into a fountain of calm
trickling water or a rapidly flowing display. Wall
water fountains are often built with aluminum, concrete, river
rock, copper, glass, or terra cotta. Features can include planters,
light, and mist.
Whether the water flows, trickles, and comes down in a solid sheet
of reflection, fountains offer the versatility needed to create a
unique home interior. The practical benefits alone make fountains a
worthy addition to your interior design.
