Do you aspire to have a unique piece of furniture that is sure to wow guests while looking sleek and stylish? Consider buying or ordering a custom aquarium for your home that can fit into almost any furniture. It’ll provide some entertainment, let you have pets that require minimal upkeep, and be a beautiful accent to your home. This may seem like an odd idea that’s hard to imagine, but after this quick run-through of possibilities, you’re sure to find one that fits your personality and living space.

Tables: Among the options, this is the easiest to imagine, and one that combines function with aesthetics. Aquariums can be the top portion, where you place everyday items, as well as the bottom that holds up the table. Your guests are sure to see it at any function you hold!

Sinks: This may seem like an ironic pairing– an aquarium in a sink– but when done correctly this is really beautiful.

Fireplace/ Bookcase: Instead of having a stone backsplash behind your fireplace mantle, consider having it be an entire aquarium. This can provide double the relaxation one cold nights with the fire lit and a serene aquatic space to look at. As for bookcases, this can be a wonderful way to add a new, fun accent piece to break up the books.
