A home with moving water elements is filled with sounds of relaxation that reduce stress and add a touch of sophistication. A stagnant environment is harmful to the body, but flowing water revitalizes the environment (like the air after a rainstorm).
The presence of flowing water improves air quality by emitting negative ions that pull toxins, dust, animal dander, and pollen from the air. These ions increase serotonin levels resulting in an energy boost and a more positive mood.
Indoor
One simple way to add water elements indoors is to install a tabletop fountain or a small fish tank in a corner of your home.
Mist from an indoor fountain increases humidity in the air and moistens your skin and sinuses.
Another way is to add a waterfall wall.
You can also add a framed painting or photo of flowing water to your space.
Outdoor
Options for adding water elements outside your home are numerous – install a pool or wildlife pond, bring in a birdbath garden fountain, water bowl or waterfall.
