6 Ways of Getting the Best Out of Your Workplace Wall Mounted Fountain

Wall mounted fountains work well not just in homes, but in offices, hospitals, clinics, salons, and malls as well. Many commercial establishments have not just indoor wall fountains, but outdoor ones as well. When buying for a commercial property, however, the buyers should keep in mind the aims of installing a wall fountain in a commercial complex. The fountain is not only going to help people form a positive first impression about what they see on entering the premises, it will also help staff conduct their business in calm and collected manner.

Following are some ways that you can choose the right wall mounted fountain for your organization, and tips related to getting the maximum benefits from it.

#1 Customized Fountains Work Better Than Production Line Items

Your organization must create an impression that is uniquely its own. No company can flourish by having the same décor as another organization. If your wall fountain is going to occupy a very prominent place in the garden, lobby, sitting room, or work area, then getting a fountain custom designed using the company logo, color, or name is a good idea.

#2 Keep The Purpose In Mind

Keep the values of your organization, and the nature of the work it is involved with, in mind while purchasing wall mounted fountains. A happy, bright, slightly opulent wall fountain works well in hotel and resort lounges. Hospitals and clinics should use minimalist and muted designs. Shopping malls could use a conspicuous design to attract customers. A themed fountain is recommended for displaying some particular services on offer.

#3 Keep Discussions Private

Confidentiality is a tricky question in most organizations. The manager needs to keep an eye on employees, and yet have an enclosed space for conversations off-limits to them. To mask the sound of conversation, it is best to have wall mounted fountains at well thought-out places in the workplace or near the management's rooms.

#4 Create The Illusion Of Space

Space is at a premium in any workplace. While you need to pay rent by every square foot of office space, you cannot afford to over-cramp the workplace. If you have two departments in the same hall and do not want the staff to be distracted by each other's activities, putting in a central wall mounted fountain, or many smaller wall mounted fountains, is a good idea. This way, you can optimize space and ensure that the employees do not get distracted. A wall of fountains can also be used to split the work area into two. It creates an illusion of space without making any of the divided areas appear squashed.

#5 Reduce Noise

Workplace productivity can be affected by noise that is common in most offices and workplaces. To reduce noise, wall mounted fountains can be used. The sound of running water instills a sense of calm, while masking the more disturbing sounds.

#6 Create A Space To Relax In

Water cooler discussions are always a headache for the management that worries over unproductive office hours. However, they are a lifeline for the staff, allowing them a break from work and a place to share gossip. If you feel the water cooler time is extending beyond reasonable limits, try installing a wall fountain in the work area itself. It gives staff a place to relax and bond at, without their having to step out of the work area.

So now you have 6 reasons (apart from aesthetics) to invest in wall mounted fountains for your office or business.

Indoor wall mounted fountains provide a stunning accent for any room and are available in a wide variety of wallet friendly prices.

Fountains can also add to the humidity which is good in certain environments.  Indoor wall mounted fountains are a way for you to bring the relaxing effects of running water into the home or office. 

We found that wall mounted fountains are also available in a wonderful selection of artwork forms, whether you prefer a traditional or contemporary unit, you are sure to find just the right fountain for any room you are modifying. 

Indoor wall mounted fountains are flat, and have water flowing over the fountain face, and are framed on the top and bottom.  Our wall mounted fountain was easy to set up, and even easier to enjoy. 

After researching online at the many different designs styles from traditional lion head wall mounted fountains or cherub water fountains to contemporary and modern wall mount fountains such as the Vestaglia indoor wall fountain by Hunter Kenroy and the Waikiki Beach wall fountain by Water Wonders we settled on a medium Waikiki that we found at Serenity Health.

Another benefit that we found with indoor wall mounted fountains is they also act as natural air purifiers.  The water tumbles back into the indoor fountains reservoir releasing negative ions into the room.

These negative ions bond to unwanted dust particles and allergens, purifying the environment and promoting physical and mental health.  It is this energy transfer that concerns the Feng Shui discipline, which teaches us the importance of maintaining a proper balance of elements for a healthy, prosperous environment.

The air inside your home is often more polluted than the air outside, and you can help to make your environment healthier with a wall mounted fountain
