One of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to bring a bit of nature into your personal home or office environment is with an indoor fountain. Indoor fountains run the gamut from small desktop and tabletop indoor fountains to larger floor fountains, wall fountains, and waterfall fountains. Additionally, indoor fountains come in a variety of styles that fit most any decor and price range, and they also make for great gifts.

Probably the best place to start your search for an indoor fountain is on the Internet, because that is where you will be able to get information on all types and models of indoor tabletop fountains, floor fountains, wall fountains, and waterfall fountains. When looking for a quality indoor fountain there are four principal issues that you should consider: materials, size, price, and design.

Indoor fountains can be purchased that are made of a wide variety of materials that include:

•Ceramic.

•Stainless steel.

•Acrylic.

•Slate.

•Marble.

•Stone.

•Fiberglass.

•Plastic.

•Copper.

The size of indoor fountain that you ultimately choose depends on the space you have available. Indoor tabletop fountains are obviously small enough to fit on a bedside table or countertop and are easily moved out of the way when necessary. Floor fountains, come in both large and small models, but by their very nature require dedicated space. The nice thing about indoor wall fountains is that they can be mounted out of the way without taking up any floor or table space.

Indoor fountains can be found in a broad price range from as low as $15-$25 and up into the thousands of dollars for elaborate custom designed models that use exotic materials in their craftsmanship. Designs range from the sleek, ultra modern look, to rustic, Zen, and Japanese themed models. You can even purchase a misting fountain that puts out a gentle fog-like effect. Truly, you can find an indoor fountain that is right for you no matter how your tastes run.
