A small fountain in your garden

A small fountain in your garden

Installing a small fountain in your garden could be very beneficial for your mental health. We all live in a very chaotic world where all your life is a competition. It is an endless race to become a more successful person or at least to keep your status quo. We run and move fast, we have to adapt to constantly new situations, we have to make multiple choices. We decide how to act, how to speak, and how to manage our time properly. As a result, we experience a lot of stress living in this fast changing world. We have to stop for a moment.

You should have a special green place with a water source where you would feel safe and free.  Why not organize such a place in your garden, balcony or terrace? Adding a small fountain into your outdoor space will help you to relieve stress and allow you to focus better. Fountains create very positive and soothing vibes in the surroundings. Relaxing sound of the running water will disconnect you from the endless train of thoughts keeping you present at a certain moment. Just remember, whatever you would prefer, a small table fountain, a small pond with a fountain or an artificial wall with a water source, it should fit to the size of your place or garden.

Here is a good example. There is an installation of a fountain into a brightly colored mosaic wall that forms an ideal background for green non-flowering plants in the pots and vines over the wall. This also helps to create some depth and dimension in the target space. You can also paint the water in the fountain with dark  or silver colorants to create better contrast with the mosaic wall. The final goal is making your life happier and healthier.
