COOL AQUARIUM IN YOUR OFFICE
There’s just something soothing about an
aquarium.
Why do you think so many doctors’ offices and hospitals feature them as
centerpieces of the waiting room? After all, for patients anticipating
an appointment or loved ones eagerly awaiting good news, it certainly
doesn’t hurt to hear the bubbling sounds of the water while watching
colorful sea life scurry around the tank. Not to mention, there’s
nothing more relaxing than the sight of aquatic plants waving
underwater.
Add the talents of aquarium design firms such as
Aquatica Services and the custom design possibilities are off the charts. By the way,
today’s fish tank enthusiasts view their decorative fish-filled habitats
as “aquascapes.” The word has a nice ring to it, don’t you think? We
also think you’ll enjoy the images below. Whether you’re working at home
or walking through the lobby on your way to the office, a strategically
placed fish tank can take the edge off the most stressful of days!
Aquariums for the Home Office
What better way to achieve work/life balance than by putting a fish tank in the home office?
There are many options for fish tank placement, including incorporating
a custom-designed aquarium into the bookshelf, as shown below
With today’s wide range of custom design possibilities, you can ensure
that your tank blends seamlessly with the surroundings, as illustrated
in the next image featuring a saltwater reef aquarium in an office with
rich wooden detailing.
Aquariums for the Work Office
Why shouldn’t going to work be
as relaxing as lounging at home? Okay, we admit that life in the office
isn’t quite as chill as life in the comfort of your abode, but working
in a space with an aquarium is a step in the right direction. Nervous
about your workday meeting? Stop by the inviting fish tank on your way
to the conference table and take a deep breath…A striking aquarium can enliven the most simple of offices. Who cares
about run-of-the-mill ceiling tiles when verdant plants and crystal
clear water demands your attention?
In another conference room image, we see the magic of a lengthy aquarium
that serves as an irresistible focal point. If your colleagues’ eyes
are staring at the wall behind you while you make your presentation, you
will certainly know what is capturing their attention. And you can
adjust your performance accordingly so they once again focus on you

A fish tank can also serve as an important divider at the office. In the
room below, a gorgeous modern aquarium separates a desk area from a
sitting area, all the while preserving the view outside!
Aquariums for the Lobby
A well-placed fish tank is the
perfect way to welcome people into the building, which is why so many
office lobbies utilize their aquatic charm. So do residential buildings,
as shown by this saltwater reef aquarium in New York.
A closer shot of the same aquarium celebrates the piece’s grand scale,
as well as the way that its stunning blue interior pops against the cool
brown shades of the lobby:

showpiece?!

York. Regardless of what lies ahead at the appointment,
for a few
minutes patients can escape into the tranquility of this gorgeous

calming effect, even on the busiest of days? Is it worth the upkeep?
