An aquarium does more than that though, and it also actually transforms a room and changes the `vibe` or the atmosphere of the whole area around it for the better. Here we will look at how an aquarium can help make these changes and just what difference you will feel in your room once you introduce one. First of all an aquarium affects the lighting. This can be said of few other features that aren`t lamps, but the impressive way in which an aquarium achieves this is by catching, reflecting and refracting the light that`s coming in through the window. This casts a great `blueish` sheen over the room, as well as other dancing lights and colours as the light is refracted. At the same time the aquarium acts as a magnifying glass and anything that was behind it will look enlarged as though it were behind a magnifying glass. This interesting distortion can add a very `underwater` feel to the room and also allow you to increase the impact of other features around the room. Interestingly as well, where you are sat in the room will dictate which items have this unusual lens keeping your room fresh and interesting.
