A water feature. The sound of water — a gently trickling stream or a small waterfall — can have a wonderfully calming, hypnotic effect. So why not integrate water into the design of your home? After all, this is where you are going to spend a lot of relaxing time, isn't it? Designer Murray Arnott says you can incorporate water such as an ornamental pond or waterfall to define the look and feel of a space. Or you use water such as a pool or spa for recreational purposes. There are benefits to both, and an option to consider as you design a home unique to your family. photo: Murray Arnott
