Home and Indoor Fountains

When designing your home and its surrounding landscape, consider balancing the different elements to ensure that no single feature overwhelms the other.

If you take this idea further, you may want to consider working with an interior designer and landscaper who focus on Feng Shui which is the practice that if the elements are in balance within the home, then there will be harmony in that setting.

When you add an indoor fountain to a dry room, it increased increase the moisture in that room. The principles of Feng Shui believe that water represents fluidity and if there is not enough water in an environment, it will make you resistant to change. On the other hand, too much water results in a lack of form and structure. Therefore, it is vital to keep all the elements in balance so that no one element
becomes excess and ultimately destructive.

You need to consider the environment in which you plan to place a home fountain when selecting one. If your garden is small garden, adding a fountain can offer added moisture that your plants can use. On the other hand, you can place a fountain in a work area to provide a more relaxing environment. Cultures all over the world view water as a symbol of life, flowing with the environment instead of resisting it. Indoor fountains can be placed in home offices where the calming effect of the fountain can help ease the struggles of new ideas, studies, and concepts, helping you to work with these ideas instead of resisting them.

Incorporating Fountains into Outdoor Space:

Home fountains can offer a natural ambience of sight and sound to your home when you are hosting parties, or simply for your own pleasure. If you are lucky enough to have a natural waterway, pond, or lake on your property, then perhaps you should consider adding a fountain to create water display where you and your guests can socialize and relax. If you design your outdoor fountain in accordance with Feng Shui, then keep in mind the relationships between the five elements fire, earth, metal, wood and water as well as the eight directions.

In Feng Shui, every direction is linked with different concepts. For example, knowledge and creativity are associated with the North and with the element of water. Discovering the best way to orientate your fountain may in fact truly enhance your creativity or contentment.
