The wide variety of indoor water features enables you to find one to match your style. Who says you need a garden to enjoy a water feature? You can simply bring it into your home. There are many benefits that you can enjoy by owning an indoor water feature as follows.

Relaxation

You and I live in an increasingly stressful world, characterized by anxiety, tension and pressure. The sound of flowing water creates an atmosphere of calmness and serenity in the comfort of your own house. As such, it helps to reduce tension in your muscles and joints. You can simply relax in your living room or even bedroom, enjoying the sound of trickling water after a hectic and busy day at work. You can go to sleep and wake up to the soothing effects of water. In fact, it helps you sleep better. In short, you can create a relaxing environment in any or every room of your house by placing indoor water features.

Humidifier

In the winters especially and any time during the rest of the year generally, the air comes dry and causes health issues. In most cases, it makes you skin drier, itchy and uncomfortable. Indoor water features add moisture to the air in your room naturally. It is beneficial for you and your family as well as the plants in the room.

Visual Appeal

A water feature is an amazing way to enhance the décor of your home and create a soothing environment in the room. Water features are stunning and unique and provide a focal point to the room. Water features are available in many different forms such as floor models, wall models or tabletop models. You can choose the style that compliments your room décor and add more style to your home or office. In most cases these watefalls usually become the masterpiece and focal point of the room.

White Noise

When your home or office is situated in busy neighborhoods or next to loud neighbors, you need white noise to drown out the undesirable noise. At times, people need white noise to sleep. Flowing water is the most relaxing and soothing white noise you can get. Indoor water features is an excellent source of white noise, drowning traffic sounds, loud neighbors, etc, so you can work or sleep peacefully or just enjoy some quiet time.

Improve Air Quality

Indoor air quality can be a source of concern for many, especially in rooms which get little fresh air. Flowing water produces negative ions, which improve the overall air quality of the surrounding. Air purifiers do the same but it looks unappealing and makes irritating noise. Why bear that when you can add an indoor water feature which emits negative ions, appear beautiful and produce soothing sound. Negative ions, in addition, attract dust and other irritants from the air and remove it.

You can choose an indoor water feature for any of the mentioned reasons or any other reason of your own, but you will never regret the addition. You can purchase them from online stores, garden centers, home improvement stores, or from distributor/manufacturers such as WaterfallNow.

Feng Shui

There are many reasons to get a water feature inside your home. Many people believe that flowing water symbolizes income. This is a common belief in many Asian cultures. Placement of a water feature should be in the ‘wealth corners’ such as the southeast, southwest, and north corners. We recommend giving this a try

Here are a several resources available on creating your standard DIY water features.

Here is a tutorial on how to build your own water fountain using pots

As you can see from the above video, it doesn’t take much money or time to create your own patio water features. The sound of trickling water can enhance the ambiance out on the deck.

The next 4 part video courtesy of The Pond Digger features a mix of natural and faux rocks that are used to create a basalt column rock bubbler bird bad fountain. Don’t be afraid to add more variety with the types of rocks or plants used and to experiment with new ideas. Another recommendation is to find a spot clear of trees and to avoid placing them in areas where you get lots of falling leaves as that can cause the water to flow out or clog the pump.

Not sure where to buy a faux basalt rock column? Here is a do it yourself tutorial courtesy of Arteolike.

Basalt column fountain installation kits can sometimes be found at your local garden shop. However, this method demonstrates one of the many techniques to creating a faux basalt column. Real basalt rock columns for garden purposes can weigh thousands of pounds and requires heavy machinery to install. That is something better left up to the professionals.

The artificial rock water features such as waterfalls and fountains created by WaterfallNow do not fall under the do-it-yourself category.

We have spent many years developing our skills and experience creating custom water features while constantly stepping out of our comfort zone. However, there was a time when we once failed miserably at creating small do-it-yourself water features.

Fast forward to 100’s of water features later we can say that we are definitely much more experienced than we were many years ago.

Whatever your next DIY project, just remember that if you aren’t failing, you aren’t just trying trying hard enough. Get creative. All you really need is a small pump, tubing, drill, screws, glue, and some creativity. Now you have a few examples of how to create quality do it yourself outdoor water features. Start with the basics and maybe someday we can combine our work on the same project.

Landscape Water Features

Sticky Post By WaterfallNow On May 27, 2014

Have you been recently inspired to add a water feature fountain or waterfall to your garden? Whether you like vanishing ponds, pondless waterfalls, or just a trickling fountain to some sounds of nature, your options are endless.

Landscape water features are typically for the more advanced garden project as regular maintenance is often required in order for the fountains to look appealing. They have long symbolized the architectural and design ability of cities both modern and ancient. Moreover waterfalls found in nature have always been intriguing to human beings. Many are drawn to them because there is just something about the look and sound of falling water. It is now possible to create miniature waterfalls to be enjoyed in your own garden for as often as you like.

When properly maintained and constructed, a landscape garden water feature can increase your home’s property value. This means you can enjoy your water feature at no cost until such a time when you decide to sell your home while recouping your initial investment and then some. It also doesn’t hurt that your home will stand out from the rest. The work that goes into creating a water feature for your garden pays off for many years as you entertain guests, hold parties, sit outside by the patio, or even while relaxing indoors with the windows open. It just helps to relax and unwind beside the waterfall while your stress melts away.

Much in the same way as the water is cycled from a cascading waterfall feature or pondless waterfall, a pool waterfall cycles water back from the pool. The result is a spectacular visual of falling water. Ask people who already own a waterfall for their pool and most will say they cannot imagine not having one.

Fountains
Fountains are a beautiful sight to behold. This is especially true for spectacular water shows combined with lighting. They can be an excellent addition to the frontyard welcoming your guests.

Pondless Waterfalls
Most modern waterfall fountains including the ones made by WaterfallNow are often self-contained. Rather than constantly wasting water, the existing water is cycled through by a pump over and over to create the falling water effect. The hidden reservoir known for its relation to invisible waterfalls or ‘pondless waterfalls’ are a good choice due to their low maintenance requirements. The small water reserve is out of sight and out of mind so you don’t need to deal with green pea soup or the swampy looking water that many other water features are plagued with.

Indoor And Outdoor Fountains
Water features come in all shapes and sizes. Some that are purchased online were manufactured in China. Others may be made in Canada or locally in general. If you like to spend your time both indoors and outdoors then a small portable water feature might be what you are looking for. These can typically be found online and manufactured from China. (WN plans to add a selection for them on this website in the future).

Do It Yourself Landscape Water Features (DIY)
An increasingly popular option is to create your own water feature using existing junk materials from the garden. Water feature fountains can be made from common materials such as granite, aluminum, fibreglass, concrete, glass, GFRC, brick, wood, marble and any other materials. These are just some of the materials one can use and there is no actual limit to the type of materials one can use to create a fountain. An increasingly popular item is the basalt rock column. Simply drill a hole into a rock, create the pond, add some plumbing, and you are good to go. Simple is key.
