Advantages Of Having A Fountain In Your Office

By:


With so many benefits of having a fountain in an office or business, its a wonder we don't see more of them. The sound of water falling, trickling and splashing has tremendous therapeutic value. Like playing relaxing background music, the sound that is created by a fountain can relax workers and customers and put them at ease. A major cause of worker inefficiency is stress. Fountains are a perfect stress reliever. If a customer feels more tranquility and peace when they are in your waiting room or showroom, they will be more likely to return with more business. Fountains with interesting working parts can also keep children's interest and relieve more stress they can cause for parents and other patrons.

The number of benefits of fountains in a business setting or any indoor application are surely great, but just as great is the variety of types of fountains to choose from. They range from very inexpensive plastic table top fountains that may have several tiers the water cascades over from one to another to expensive natural stone sculptures. There are fountains with fun gadgets that move, like a water mill and other things. There are natural rocks and fake rock formations that can built so they seem to be part of the wall. There are single pillars or rock or boulders that stand in the middle of the room and have water trickling over all sides. Sometimes the fountain can even be in the midst of a small pond with gold fish.

If you are into Zen or Feng Shui, there are designs that include fountains and fountains that work in most any interior design. One of the reasons fountains fit into Feng Shui so well because running water means prosperity, so many would gain a sense of good luck around the fountain.

A relatively inexpensive fountain for an office desk or table is a basic two levels for the water to cascade over with a ball on top of where the water comes out. It measures only 7.5"x7.5"x5.5", so it won't take up too much space on a counter top or desk. This particular fountain retails for only $28. Another inexpensive table top fountain made of polyresin with four tiers. It has a granite-like finish with a 120V indoor only pump that pushes water from a bottom collector tub to the top to flow from one tier to another. Selling for under $35, this fountain is 10" tall and has a diameter of 9.5".

A larger fountain that could also be considered a showy piece of furniture with practicality is the Bonsai Water Fountain Table. With a glass tabletop and a Polyresin base shaped like a rock naturally worn by water over time and foliage made of fabric maintenance is very simple and easy. Adding a touch of class is a light that illuminates the table underneath from its hiding place in the base. Measuring 19.75" in diameter and just under 31" tall it sells for $299.95.
