How Aquariums Bring Nature into the Home

Where to Place an Aquarium in the Room?

An aquarium should harmoniously fit into the living room. Therefore, consider how to properly and safely place it in the room. It can be built into the layout, installed on furniture, or simply placed on a shelf.

Another tip is to define the function of the aquarium in the interior. Depending on its purpose, it can become a central element, a small accent, or a feng shui element in the decor.

Placing an aquarium by a window with direct access to natural light is also a great idea. Ideally, avoid direct sunlight which can cause overheating and promote algae growth.

How to Set Up a Decorative Aquarium

Use bright and varied shades of fish to add contrast to your interior. Colorful fish can complement the room's color palette or create an attractive focal point.

Consider the theme and style of the aquarium. It should reflect the overall atmosphere of the room. You can choose a minimalist design with just a few fish and decorative elements or a themed aquarium filled with plants and stones recreating a natural habitat. For example, a reef aquarium can bring a piece of the ocean right into your home.

Lighting is an element that will significantly affect your aquarium and should be done with specialized lamps. Proper lighting can highlight the colors of fish and plants, as well as emphasize the most interesting features of the aquarium.
