Water features
Tabletop water features that bring the sound of trickling water indoors, with Buddha, lotus, elephant, dragon and natural rock designs. Choose a tabletop fountain for a desk, shelf or quiet corner of your home or office.
How to choose a tabletop water feature
Start with size and space. Our fountains range from around 20cm to 35cm tall, so measure your shelf or table first. A 20cm Elephant in Love or a 21.5cm Golden Buddha and Pots design suits a desk, while a 35cm Natural Rocks Formation or Purple Dragon is more of a centrepiece.
Next, decide on the style. Some have a Buddha or lotus theme, others an elephant or dragon, and a few include a crystal ball, light or water wheel for extra interest, like the Elephants in Love model with a Watermill.
Why people choose indoor fountains
The gentle sound of running water is simply pleasant to many people, and indoor fountains are often chosen for a home office, bedroom or meditation corner. In feng shui, water is traditionally associated with flow and abundance, so some people place a fountain with that intention in mind.
Setting up and caring for your fountain
- Place it on a flat, stable surface, away from the edge
- Fill the reservoir as the instructions describe and keep it topped up
- Never let the pump run dry
- Change the water regularly to keep it fresh
For a restful corner, add a lamp or candle, and some tumble stones in a dish nearby. Our abundance and luck picks are a good match for a water feature.
Questions and answers
Do tabletop water features need electricity?
Most use a small pump powered by a plug or USB cable, so you need a socket nearby. Always check the product details for how each fountain is powered and what comes in the box.
Where should I put an indoor water feature?
Choose a flat, stable surface away from the edge, such as a desk, shelf or side table. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from other electricals to avoid splashes.
How do I keep a water feature clean?
Change the water regularly, wipe the surfaces with a soft damp cloth and do not let the pump run dry. Using soft or filtered water can help reduce limescale build-up over time.
Do water features make good gifts?
Yes, they suit housewarmings and anyone who enjoys a calm home. They are heavier than most gifts, so choose a size that will fit their space. Orders are dispatched within 1-2 working days, with free UK delivery over £40.
