Stunning Indoor Water Features
We’re starting to think we might have seen the best of the summer weather!
As we’re going to start wanting to spend more time indoors as autumn creeps closer, why not consider an indoor water feature?
Water features are an amazing décor choice for our gardens and create a lovely relaxing atmosphere as well as stunning decoration too, so why not add all these benefits to your interior decor?
There are some great health benefits of having a water feature indoors too, including:
- Relaxation
One benefit as mentioned above, is the relaxing, calming effect of both the sights and sounds of the moving water. Water features can also be beneficial in spaces that may have stressors such as an office building. Water features may help to reduce stress levels and increase morale and productivity. The sound of moving water also offers a gentle white noise that can effectively block out distracting noises and help employees concentrate. Water features in the waiting areas of places such as hospitals and dentists may also reduce anxiety making the visit more pleasant for the patients.
- Negative Ions
Moving water generates negative ions. There are advantages to having air full of negative ions and many electronic appliances and air conditioning deplete them.
Negative ions increase the flow of oxygen to the brain, resulting in higher alertness, decreased drowsiness, and increased mental energy. They may also protect against germs in the air, resulting in decreased irritation due to inhaling various particles that make you sneeze, cough, or have a throat irritation.
Negative ions may even increase levels of serotonin, which is a bodily chemical that enhances mood. Negative ions have the potential to help employees feel better both mentally and physically and moving water is an easy way to create those negative ions indoors.
- Humidity
A third benefit to both those who live and work in indoor spaces is increased humidity. Having moving water will raise the humidity levels in the surrounding area. This is important in areas where the temperature is constantly regulated either with central heating or air conditioning. People will benefit by being more comfortable in the moist air and landscaping will be easier as many plants require high levels of humidity.
