As such many fountains and water features mimic these designs further by using classic (Michelangelo-esque) statues and almost all use marble, quartz and other expensive stone. This way you are bringing a bit of that class and importance to your own interior and mimicking the look of highly successful businesses. Furthermore most of us are used to seeing water outside and to see it inside and moving makes it a great Water features and fountains are also easy to maintain. The fact that the water is constantly moving means that they won’t get dusty or dirty, but at the same time the water won’t get stagnant. Finally, as well as having a great visual impact on a room, water features are also pleasant on the ears through the soothing ‘trickling’ sounds that they make. This helps give the room a tranquil feel and evokes images of brooks and streams and of being outside as we were designed to be. Just as you get those CDs with ‘sounds from the forest’ for relaxation, so this can help you to feel calm and at ease.
