Two things come to mind when you hear the soothing sound of water trickling on a bed of rocks – it is pleasing and relaxing. It is the same reason why spas have indoor water fountains, to have a calming environment that relaxes the body and the mind.
In Feng Shui, the flowing water symbolizes wealth and prosperity. It’s no wonder why an indoor water fountain is a must in many residential and business establishments. This water feature does not only serve as a focal point for the decoration but also to foster good fortune.
There are many different kinds of water fountains to choose from according to the space available and where you want to have them. Although the best place for a fountain is in the garden or entrance or foyer, not everybody is blessed with so much space or a grand entrance.
Nevertheless, we can still enjoy the benefits of having water fountains by placing them in appropriate areas. According to Feng Shui experts, it should be on the north, southeast, or southwest portion of the house. It can be anywhere but never inside your bedroom or bathroom.
Here are some water fountains that could be perfect for your indoors, even if you don’t have ample space.
