Picking the Right Table Top Fountain for Your Office

Is your office boring? I’m not just asking if it’s free of distractions, but whether its featurelessness is in itself a distraction. It may sound odd, but without a focal point outside your work, your office can actually waste more of your time. Interior designers have known this for a long time, which is why professionally designed executive offices always have some interesting element outside of family knickknacks and office tools. Without that, people tend to stray away from their work using the computers and tools that are supposed to make them productive.

You may not be a professional designer but you can still create your own decorative focal point. A tabletop water fountain is one of the most effective and pleasing ways to do this because it provides sound and visual stimulus that’s interesting enough to occupy you for a moment, but can easily fade into the background when you want to work. But which tabletop fountain should you choose? The answer depends on the nature of your office:

Home or Professional Environment?

If you want to decorate a home office then you have the freedom to pick any tabletop fountain you like, but don’t make a choice without considering the color, layout and size of your office. Choose a water fountain with personal significance. If you enjoy sparse Japanese art, then a Zen Fountain is ideal. If your tabletop fountain is designed for an office away from home, then it should blend in with that environment and furthermore, represent a mix of the company’s image and your own tastes. It represents your contribution to the organization. If the company is focused on high tech try a modern design, fused with what you enjoy.

Solitary or Social?

Is your job all about hands on management and meetings, or do you quietly work alone? Think about how sociable your office is. If people are always coming and going your table top water fountain is going to be a part of the conversation, setting the atmosphere for discussion. You can go a number ways with a water fountain playing this role. If you meet a lot of new people in the office, make the fountain a conversation piece; it has symbolism that requires a bit of talking to share. Our Mini-Wealth Tabletop Fountain is an example of this type of fountain. Otherwise you can choose a Custom Water Fountain with your company’s name, or a style for professional environments, as described in the previous section.

If you’re more likely to work alone, you may need a bolder visual statement to get you going when your inspiration and self-discipline start to falter. Choose a tabletop fountain with a specific theme, or a design that, in pauses between work items, you can study in detail without getting bored, allowing your mind to “reset” on the day’s tasks. The rich viewing experience you’ll get from Nayer Kazemi’s Flowing River Tabletop Fountain can be enough to reinvigorate your creative energies.

Ultimately, the choice is yours. Water Fountain Place has a diverse enough selection of Table Top Fountains to suit any taste or budget. Go with what you need to work better, but remember what you like, too.
