3 Types of Indoor Water Features for Your Home


 

Fountains and ponds on the exterior of your property are often considered to be luxurious must -haves. However, for some reason inside the home, the presence of flowing water isn't necessarily considered a good thing. While adding indoor water features to your home is great for making your home feel more relaxed and peaceful, it can be a challenge to find the perfect fit. Here are some ideas to help you pick an indoor water feature for your home that you will be satisfied with.

Consider an Indoor Stream

If you are looking to bring a bit of the outdoors into your home, consider adding an indoor stream. This may not be possible unless you are considering having some additions made to your home as stone work will need to be done and the plumbing will need to be reconfigured in order to accommodate the stream. However, the end result is a very stunning look that is truly unique. You can even add in plants for a more authentic outdoor appearance.

Indoor Pools

Indoor pools come in all shapes and sizes. However, if it is to be used as an indoor water feature, the design should be selected to highlight the space that it appears in. Also since it is an indoor water feature, there is absolutely no need to make the pool large enough that people can swim in. Opt for a small pool that features such design elements as glass tiling or lighting for a unique and modern focal point for the room.

Standing Water Features

Standing water features are probably the easiest way to incorporate a water feature into your home without having to investment in significant remodelling or other construction. A standing water feature can be affixed to the wall and often has its own built in water flow system so that you will not have to connect it to your plumbing. Consider a standing water feature for a large room or main area of your home such as the foyer or living room for best results. A waterfall is an extreme example of a standing water feature. However, if big and bold is the look that you are going for, then this just may do the trick.
