10 Reasons to Buy Indoor Water Features

If you have not purchased any indoor water features yet for your home, you are really missing out! Is it that you assume that they are too expensive? Perhaps you think that you do not need one since you already have a lot of art.
Well, here are 10 reasons why you should buy floor, tabletop or wall fountains for your space.

1. Air Purifier - Many people do not know that cascading water creates negative ions.
   This helps clean the air because dust and other particles are attracted to these ions.
   Why run an unsightly air purifier when you can just hang a few wall fountains instead?
2. Noise Barrier - Whether you live in an apartment building with thin walls, or in a house by a busy street with tons of traffic, indoor water features can drown out some of those undesirable noises that drive you crazy.
   
3. Humidifier - Dry air in a home does not only cause dry skin and dull hair, it can increase your risk for sickness because your eyes, sinuses and throat are dry.
   Fountains keep the air moisturized.
   
4. Focal Point - Every room needs a focal point.
   This is a place where the eyes can come to rest upon entering a room, which is appreciated by your guests whether they realize it or not.
   
5. Sleep Quality - Wall fountains placed in the bedroom can help improve sleep quality because the mind is able to relax before drifting off to dreamland.
   
6. Calming Environment - One of the main reasons consumers buy indoor water features is to create a more tranquil environment.
   Life is busy, stressful and sometimes even downright overwhelming.
   It is nice to be able to come home and feel the cares of the day just drift away.
   
7. Drinking Source - If you have a large floor fountain, you can pretty much count on it getting used as a water bowl for your pets.
   As long as you are not using any dangerous chemicals and you make a point to check the water level daily, this is perfectly fine.
   Pets love running water, which is why they are attracted to garden hoses and running faucets.
   
8. Positive Energy - Water plays a huge role in feng shui because it is one of the five elements that every space needs to create a constant flow of positive energy.
   
9. Conversation Starter - Do you do a lot of entertaining? When you friends bring dates, or new people are invited, they may feel intimidated when they first arrive.
   Some have a hard time finding something to talk about with a stranger.
   Wall fountains make great conversation starters.
   
10. Art - Even if you do not care about all of the great benefits, there is no denying that indoor water features are stunning pieces of art that complement any home.
