Huge fountains look so well in the interior of the hotel lobby that I want to take home a couple of small copies. Now, when the demand for them has increased, it became possible. Manufacturers offer a variety of options, from which you can choose decorative fountains for the apartment and even tiny home fountains-waterfalls.
Types of fountains for an apartment
Of course, home fountains are mini versions of fountains that can be found on the street or in a huge hall. Nevertheless, they are quite impressive in size. In addition to dimensions, home decorative fountains are different material and location.
They can be wall-mounted, and can be designed to decorate a table or a bedside table. Fountains of large size are suitable for the center of the living room, if it has enough space, and for the hall.
Table fountains for an apartment are usually made of glass, plastic, steel, stone or ceramics. Floor variants can be from all of the above, as well as from wood, cement or copper. Walls are often copper and bronze.
What do they consist of?
The main components of the fountain that is intended to stand in the apartment are a pump, a tank and a figure through which water flows. Some desktop fountains run on batteries, so they need to remember to change. Also in the decorative fountain there may be additional utilities - the possibility of musical or light accompaniment, often there is a function of creating fog and additional air humidification.
Benefits from a home fountain
In addition to the natural moistening of the air, the fountain plays the role of noise cancellation and air purification in the house. The pleasant sounds of falling drops serve as an excellent sedative and help people in times of insomnia. In addition, the negative ions in the water attract all the dust that makes the air in the house distinctly reminiscent of the pleasant sensation of purity that happens after heavy rain.
How to choose the right home fountain?
First, determine the size. No matter how much you like the idea of a fountain in an apartment, it is worth to assess objectively, enough for you to have free space for it. A home fountain should not be a central figure, beyond which no other interior items are visible. It attracts enough attention, so make sure that it is no more than necessary.
The next step is to decide on the material. The tree will fit in almost any interior, but the wooden fountains are quite rare. The stone fountain looks beautiful and they are widespread, but it is difficult to find the right color for the stone. In order not to make a mistake with the choice, it may be worth taking a piece of cloth from the sofa or wallpaper, or taking a photo that can be compared. You can ask for a sample of the stone from the seller of fountains.
And finally, the most difficult thing is to choose a fountain that fits the style. The easiest way is if the home fountain is rather minimalistic. The simpler it looks, the more likely it will look good, even if you decide to change the interior over time. In addition, not burdened with a lot of unnecessary details, the fountain will visually appear smaller and it will not so clearly obscure all other objects.
Pay attention to the ornament and drawing. Even if the material is perfect, the drawing should also fit into the overall style, otherwise you'll notice too late that something is wrong with the overall impression. Consult the seller and check several times that the style of the fountain matches the style of the interior. Since the decorative fountain - usually a rather expensive purchase, it will be superfluous to carefully weigh everything beforehand.
