Creating Your ‘Zen’ Space
When deciding which room in which to put your indoor water fountain, it is imperative that you remember to place it in a room where you already feel fairly comfortable. The most popular rooms for indoor water fountains are the living room and bedroom; but an enclosed solarium or porch would be lovely as well – especially if it is large enough, and quiet enough, for you to relax in.
The second step to creating a functional, yet peaceful place for your indoor water fountain, is to arrange the room around your new fountain to accommodate a comfortable sitting area. Choose a couple of overstuffed sofas, or several oversized easy chairs. Adding lots of colorful pillows to this space will also help it to be more inviting and comfortable.
Once you have chosen the room for your indoor water fountain, and have arranged your seating in a comfortable position, the next step is to remove any outside elements that may detract from the overall tranquility. Knick-knacks, bric a brac, and excess pictures on the wall should be removed. This will help your mind to be able to focus on the peaceful water fountain that you have chosen as the centerpiece for this area.
Also helpful when using indoor water fountains to create an indoor oasis, is to choose a paint color for the room that lends itself to a more relaxing atmosphere. Scientists have touted the psychological benefits of using color to calm the mind for years. Think of hospital rooms – they are typically painted a soft blue, or green. This helps to put the patient’s mind at ease prior to any procedures. If you are able, paint the area your indoor water fountains are in one of these colors. It will greatly reduce any feelings of anxiety you may have before you sit down to relax.
