Carrying nature indoors
Water bodies that form part of decorations inside and outside residential houses or business spaces are pointers to our striving to capture as much of Nature around us as possible and to carry it indoors or closer to our residential and business premises to achieve a sense of well-being that comes with watching a natural waterfall or even the roaring seas.
And just like the waterfalls and seas which are objects of constant admiration, water fountains or even cascades — which are manmade waterfalls in surroundings created artificially using natural materials, such as granite and driftwood — have a life of their own.
Water fountains or any artificially created water bodies within the reach of our everyday life soothe our nerves, enhance the beauty of the surroundings and act as therapeutic agents.
Fountains today come in several shapes and varieties — thanks to advanced technology and materials available — to suit every need. There are the time-tested models that are big attractions in big gardens to table-top ones.
The fountains that chime with the use of chains to those with colour lights create varying moods and suit varying requirements. Music fountains are relatively costlier. They have been part of home gardens for a long time now.The growth of technology and the affordability of small fountains suited to interior needs is another factor that has generated popularity for indoor water bodies.
The affordability of creating a fountain or a water cascade is obvious from the range of prices in the market. It can vary from Rs. 5,000 to lakhs of rupees.
