Cool Vibes
Adding a water body to your home will give it a character, while also infusing it with the right vibes. So, if this is on your wishlist, we think the summers are the perfect time to get it ticked off
Tranquil Living
Water as an element has a symbolic meaning to it. Often it represents cleansing, life and freedom. Usually, a water body not only emanates a feeling of calm and serenity, but most importantly it lends a soothing and cooling air. Now imagine this, you have had a stressful day at work and nothing went your way throughout the day. All that you want to do to destress is sit by the sea and watch the waves move rhythmically. You are only looking for peace. Think about this, what if you can have a water body right in the confines of your home. Coming back to that would be the best thing ever, tranquility right inside your own home.
The Design Factor
A water body adds to the aesthetic beauty of a home instantly. Amrita Guha of Untitled Design says, “Water as an element definitely brings in a sense of calm into the surrounding.

really uplifts the design of a home, making it look charming and luxurious.”
Choose Right
Water bodies aren’t only limited to pools and fountains, there are a variety of water bodies, right from an indoor fountain, a stream, a koi pond, a lotus pond or even an exotic water garden.

When it comes to Vastu, the water element is one of the strongest as it is the essence of life, thus bringing life on our planet. Having a water body like a fish aquarium also works as a powerful water energiser in Vastu as it is a combination of water and living energy, thus stimulating the flow of new energy and bringing in good luck and fortune.
