Water fountains are auspicious in feng shui and here is the reason why. Water has the ability to collect or pool "Qi" energy.This makes water fountains auspicious.
Now, it’s for sure that you've seen water fountains at various beautiful places. They’re at parks, near many hotel entrances, celebrity houses and many more to mention.
Also, water fountains – usually – makes people relax, smile and many times forget their problems.
Not only this, you’ll – unsurprisingly – see smiling faces near a beautiful fountain.Just sit back and think for a moment why & how a water fountain can have such a profound effect on people around it. It’s because “Qi” energy gets collected and pooled with water. The “peacefully” moving water of a fountain distributes “Qi” around it. Thus you – and everyone else – around the fountain feel awesome.
Everybody enjoys the sound of the river water gushing down the rocks. It’s so relaxing, you can’t not love it.

And not only they relax you with the sound of the water, but the indoor water fountains make for great interior decoration of your house
There is something incredibly calming about gazing into a still pond or watching a set of waves roll in. You can bring this serenity indoors by adding a water feature. Many of us do not have large enough homes to incorporate an indoor pool, but there are a number of gorgeous water fountains available for even the smallest of spaces.
1.Choosing A Fountain
a) When purchasing an indoor fountain, choose from a range of options in size, design and materials. Keep in mind the space available for your fountain and the necessity for access to an electrical outlet.
b) Consider your home's decor when choosing the style and design.
c) In materials, consider portability and maintenance. Decide if the fountain will be a permanent feature in a room, or if you want something you can move around
2. Materials
An indoor fountain can fit with practically any decorating style.
a) For modern decor, choose sleek materials such as glass or ceramic.
b) If you prefer more of an organic look, go with natural materials such as slate, stone, wood or bamboo.
c) Copper, which naturally has brilliant hues of orange, red and gold, over time will slowly develop a beautiful, greenish patina. Many fountains are made from lightweight resin that simulates heavier, more expensive materials.
3. Wall Fountain
Choose your favorite color as a backdrop for these wall fountains. Stair for hours and relax and ruminate on your day.
A large indoor fountain can make a wonderful focal point in a room. Floor and wall fountains are aesthetically pleasing, and the soothing sound of running water creates a relaxing, tranquil atmosphere.
A large wall fountain makes a stunning accent in your home,
but proper installation requires some planning. To avoid unattractive wires showing, additionally, the fountain must be secured to wall studs. Large wall fountains are not easy to move, making them more appropriate for a permanent feature
You may even add modern small sized wall fountains to add chic and aristocracy in your living rooms
4. Floor Fountain
Floor fountains are considerably easier to work with than wall fountains because they don’t require any type of mounting hardware or electrical wiring. These free-standing fountains only require a few feet of space and can plug into a standard electrical outlet. A floor fountain can easily fit into an empty corner or between a couple of chairs in a conversation area, yet still be large enough to become the focal point of the room.
5. Tabletop Fountains
Your indoor plants will appreciate sharing space with an indoor tabletop fountain.
Smaller tabletop versions like the above add a lovely ambiance to a workspace or the quiet nook you use for reading or meditating.
If space and budget are limited, you can still create a tranquil environment with a tabletop fountain. Add this kind of fountain to your home office desk, an end table next to a reading chair, or to a small stand or table on an apartment balcony or patio. If you've designed your bathroom to look and feel like a spa, a tabletop fountain makes an ideal accessory near your pedicure area or soaking tub, so you can enjoy the soothing, relaxing sound of running water.
6. Add plants
The organic nature of an indoor fountain makes it the perfect accessory for indoor plants. In addition to looking natural together, large fountains also act like room humidifiers, adding moisture to the air, which helps many plants, especially tropical varieties, thrive. Add greenery around the fountain to give the feeling of a natural spring or lush oasis. Place indoor tropical plants such as palms, banana plants, rubber plants, umbrella plants and ferns near wall fountains or floor fountains. Create interest by using a variety of plants in varying sizes. Use wall planters near a wall or floor fountain to create a vertical garden. Surround a tabletop fountain with potted houseplants. Use a multi-tiered plant stand or add floating shelves around a tabletop fountain in a wall alcove or around the vertical wall of a floor fountain. Use the trailing vines of a plant like a philodendron or pothos to drape over or around the water feature.
