There are also a few rules to follow when choosing the best fountain for your space. In feng shui, metal technically feeds the water element, so if you're looking for an added boost, choosing a metal fountain is a great idea. For a grounding, stable feeling, opt for ceramic or stone, The Spruce suggests.

The next most important aspect of this is your fountain's placement. On the Bagua map, there are areas that correspond with things like career, fame and relationships. The Spruce explains that by choosing the career area as the home for your fountain, you can create deeper, more meaningful relationships and opportunities for yourself in your life. Otherwise, wood element areas such as the wealth or family spaces make a perfect home for your flowing water. You can also place it close to the front door to invite more opportunities into your life. 

Making a softer, more inviting atmosphere in your home can be simple, plus it can help spur good fortune, My Domaine reports. Find a fountain that makes you feel calm and happy just to look at — then notice any changes in your life!
