Modern décor has a uniquely Asian accent, and nothing evokes that modern, fresh feeling like a bamboo tabletop fountain.

Benefits Of Indoor Fountains

An indoor fountain serves a variety of functions. The sound of flowing water is pleasant, and it masks background noise from traffic or noisy children. A bamboo tabletop fountain introduces an additional element of sound: the pleasant tapping of bamboo against stone.

Fragrance oils can be added to the water in an indoor fountain to add an element of aromatherapy to an indoor fountain. A soothing, relaxing scented tabletop fountain adds a healing element to your environment.

Indoor fountains please the ear and the nose, and they also please the eye. Natural elements like stone and bamboo fiber fit in with the bold statements and simple lines that are so popular in today's home interiors.

Where To Find A Bamboo Tabletop Fountain

For about $250 online, you can purchase a bamboo tabletop fountain of your own. A bamboo fork supports a spout that rocks forward and back, refilling and emptying itself into a rough stone bowl with smooth stone accessories. The unit sits on a rough stone slab.

For about $100, you can purchase a smaller fountain with a dark bowl base. Water flows from a stone into the bowl, and a four-piece simulated bamboo grid accents the dark color of the bowl and helps hide the pumping mechanism buried in the bowl.

For $65, Touch Of Class offers a unique resin bamboo stack tabletop fountain. Smaller bamboo cups are mounted on the exterior of bamboo barrels. Water flows from one smaller cup into another, repeating four or five times before it circulates to the top of the fountain to start flowing down again. With the sound of water flowing repeating itself five or six times at once, this tabletop fountain amplifies the sound of water, enhancing the relaxation properties of the fountain.

For less than $25, you can purchase a smaller variation on the bamboo and bowl fountain idea. Hollowed out bamboo makes a perfect water spout, and the small scale of bamboo makes it perfect for an indoor fountain application.

What To Look For In A Bamboo Fountain

Look for a bamboo tabletop fountain that can be placed near a wall; a fountain that has a definite front side and back side. That's because every fountain is powered by an electric pump, and you need to be able to hide the electrical cord. If a tabletop bamboo fountain can be placed with its cord end at the back edge of a table, the cord can be run down the back of the table and along the table leg.
