The thought of an indoor fountain may bring to mind an ornate marble fountain in the foyer of an extravagant mansion. Indeed, indoor fountains were a centerpiece in many old wealthy households such as the Hammond Mansion in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The Hammond House is famed for the swimming pool sized indoor fountain which allowed for salt or fresh water bathing at the flick of a switch. However, the soothing sounds of gently running water as well as the visual aesthetic of indoor fountains is not a thing of the past, limited to the very rich. Now anyone can enjoy the healing effects of an indoor fountain for stress relief, atmosphere setting and the timeless beauty of a sculpture inspired by Mother Nature’s purest element. There are many varieties of indoor fountains to add a tranquil ambience to any home, commercial or office space.
Due to advances in modern technology, the indoor fountain is more versatile than ever. Indoor fountains can be mounted on a wall, set on a tabletop or come in more traditional floor styles. However, modern styles and options are now available on this traditional luxury. For instance, wall mounted fountains are available in sleek designs, not protruding from the wall more than a picture frame or a flat screen television set. An added benefit of the technological advances of the indoor fountain allow for electromagnetic energy to contain water flow to a designated area, making them safe for your home.
The options available for indoor fountains are endless! There are wide varieties of materials and color patterns to choose from including copper, granite or wood. Indoor fountains can also be customized with lighting in a choice of intensity, hues and changing patterns.
Although floor and wall indoor fountains are a very affordable investment, many people may want to start with a simple table top design perfect for the office or the family room. Also, due to their proven calming effect, an indoor fountain may be the perfect accessory for a doctor’s waiting room to help pass the time and perhaps ease patient anxiety. The indoor fountain has remained a favorite component in many homes, no longer just reserved for the extravagantly wealthy.
