An oasis is defined as a fertile track in a desert where the water table approaches the surface. It is also defined as a haven or shelter serving as a place of safety or sanctuary. The term Oasis may bring to mind an English rock group from the 90s or a mind control computer game or a soft drink.
There are many outdoor fountains here in the high desert where I live. They were designed to attract and refresh passers by and those who spend time congregating for meals or casual conversation. Some of these fountains use the elements of fauna and flora to enhance their design and others are set into the architecture of the surrounding buildings. What ever the designer had in mind, the ultimate goal was to evoke springs in the desert, a watering hole, and a place of refreshing tranquility.
Let's consider bringing that peaceful and tranquil atmosphere into our home. When I think of the definition of the oasis as a haven, shelter or sanctuary, I want to bring to include a fountain in my home décor. Obviously the size and design of those fountains we see in plazas and welcoming entries would be difficult to place in our homes.
Let us explore the benefits of the indoor water fountains available in the market place for our homes.
The indoor table top water and floor fountains can be placed in most any room of your home. Water fountains are both decorative and elegant. They can be used as a focal point in your design or for creating your own personal relaxing retreat in your home.
Indoor water fountains can be used effectively with furniture, pictures, lighting and floral treatments to create a mood of peace and tranquility. The floor fountains can be used in entry ways and hall ways to create a transition from the harsh physical and hectic life styles to the soothing sounds of a babbling brook or gentle stream. Although with your personal design ideas the table top and floor fountains are interchangeable.
The health benefits of water fountains range from the physical to the mental. The moisture derived from the water fountain is beneficial to plants and atmosphere of the home. During summer and winter when we heat and cool our homes the air is somewhat dry from the equipment. The fountain adds just enough moisture to balance the atmosphere and not create moldy feeling. The sound of a rippling brook and soft flowing water creates a mood of peace and tranquility to our mind and body.
Before purchasing an indoor water fountain, consider the decor you have in place and select the products that will match your present setting. You can also create a decor to match your fountain purchase.
My personal preference in fountains is those created from natures amethyst geodes, marble and quartz. These fountains are created from natures own products and can be used in both contemporary modern or traditional settings, such as a mountain hideaway.
