Amazing built-in aquariums in interior design

---

Soothing blues and the slow motion of swimming fish feeding on a perfect artificial seabed are a sight that calms and balances life itself. While a freestanding aquarium can give your interior a little rest, there is nothing better than the built aquariums. Impressive and fascinating, they offer plenty of space for larger fish and beautiful water landscapes. There are many ways to use them in interior design for practical purposes and pure aesthetics.
