If you're looking for ways to increase your relaxation at home, consider adding an indoor water fountain to your space. The sound of trickling or falling water is a peaceful, serene sound that can help you relax. If you listen to the sound, especially while meditating, it can also help you release any tension or stress you may hold onto.

Water fountains have also been traditionally used in Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of arranging living spaces, as a way to change the energy in your home. "Feng Shui loves a water fountain because it is a triple-win remedy," says Amanda Giddy Peters, Feng Shui expert and founder of Simple Shui. "A fountain adds water (prosperity), movement (energy flow), and sound (a chi, or life force energy, enhancer) to a space."

There are lots of quality water fountains available on the market to help you create a relaxing room in your home, whether that's your bedroom, your office, your living room, or even your entryway. "It can change the tone and feeling of a [home] environment," says Anjie Cho, architect and Feng Shui educator. "It can be relaxing, especially for some people who are really attuned to sound."

Here are the best indoor water fountains, according to Feng Shui experts.

Final Verdict

If you're looking for a tabletop water fountain that both looks good and brings the relaxing sound of trickling water into your home, the Homedics Relaxation Indoor Tabletop Fountain is a great option. It's relatively easy to maintain, it's reasonably priced, and it doesn't take up too much space while still being a key decor piece.

However, if you're looking for something bigger to transform a room into a soothing space for meditation or relaxation, Alpine Corporation Mirror Waterfall Fountain is a high quality option that will fit in most spaces, thanks to its narrow width.

What to Look for in an Indoor Water Fountain

Size:

Space isn't a luxury every home has and if you pick a fountain that takes up a lot of room, it can actually become a stressor, rather than a source of relaxation.

"Feng Shui is a mindfulness of spaces. It's about paying attention to the details in your environment and how those details affect us," says Cho. "So you need to pay attention to what will fit in the space properly. If you're putting a symbolic object in your home and not paying attention to if it will fit into the space, this will reflect upon the energy that you're going to invite into your home and life."

Quality:

While not everyone's budget is the same, Cho recommends making sure that you buy a fountain of quality if you decide to get one so that it is durable and lasts a long time without breaking or getting clogged.

"You want to make sure the water fountain is of high quality, the highest quality you can afford," she says, "because if you're thinking about it, if you're using it for Feng Shui purposes, the quality reflects the kind of energy you're inviting in."

How Easy It Is to Maintain:

Because water fountains involve water, it is possible for the water to get contaminated, stagnant or bacteria-filled if you do not regularly clean and maintain your fountain.

"Water fountains require regular maintenance, so be mindful of that necessity before bringing one home," says Peters. "Otherwise it will have an adverse effect on your life."

Cho agrees. "The water can evaporate, it can get moldy or stagnant, especially if the tubes get clogged with debris. You need to pay attention to it, just like you pay attention to how money and wealth and opportunity is coming into your life," she says.

Be sure to check the instructions included with your fountain for proper cleaning, but most can be easily maintained by using distilled water and regularly cleaning it with a little bleach from time to time. But it's definitely worth considering fountains that come apart easily so you can clean each component.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Where should water fountains be kept in the home?

  If you're looking to place your fountain in your home according to the principles of Feng Shui, it's a good idea to place it near the entrance of your home, with the water flow pointing into your home.

  "The entry of your home is where energy flows in and opportunities flow in," says Cho."If you intentionally place a water fountain near the front door, with the flow of the water pointing into the home, you're placing it with the intention of inviting in 'chi' (the lifeforce energy), or positive energy and positive abundance."

  Another good place is near where you work, like your office. This is because "a fountain represents the steady flow of money and prosperity in your life," says Peters. "Moving water entices career possibilities, like finding a job, changing careers, or being seen by your superiors," she continues, "and any time you feel stuck, a fountain—especially one you've infused with intention—motivates you to get started again instead of living in a rut."

• Do indoor water fountains add humidity?

  Yes, an indoor water fountain can add humidity in a room but how much humidity it adds depends on how big it is. Most small fountains won't add that much humidity—and certainly not as much as an actual humidifier, so don't use an indoor fountain as a humidifier replacement.

  Still, keep an eye out for signs of too much moisture in any room you keep a water fountain, including damp spots on the walls or ceilings, mold growth, condensation on the windows, and peeling paint. You'll also want to make sure your fountain isn't too big for your room, especially if you live in a humid climate.

  Keeping plants near your fountain can help mitigate the increase in humidity. "I would encourage plants, like orchids, or flowers as they appreciate fountain 'weather,'" says Peters.
