What could be more relaxing than a meditation break? Even better when your home has a beautiful place for it! Whatever space you have, there are many ways to make it your ultimate zen corner. It can be a window sill bench, a reading corner in the living room, or even a Feng Shui garden. See how to create your own relaxation area with these 6 most beautiful Zen decor inspirations.
1- Window sill bench
If you have a large window or an alcove, that you don’t know what to do with, you will be inspired by this bright idea! While offering a nice place to rest for a few minutes during the day, this bench will also allow you to enjoy your daily dose of sun. Leave a few books and a nice warm blanket there to use in the morning or before bed. This space will also make an environment of choice for your indoor green plants.
2- No-stress living room
Sometimes the easiest way to get a relaxing space is to simply work with what you already have! It’s so easy to turn a living room into a relaxation area. All it takes is some Feng Shui plants, a few decorative accessories, some soft music and why not… a Buddha sitting on the living room table. These are the perfect ingredients for a successful Zen decor!
3- Veranda reading corner
The veranda offers many possibilities! For example, you can install a hanging chair or a hammock to make a reading corner. Take advantage of this opportunity to hang a few hanging plants to make your decor more lively. Note that even if you don’t have a veranda, you could still do this project with the corner of a room or a mezzanine, whose space needs to be optimized.
4- Feng Shui garden
The Feng Shui principles are essentially based on the creation of uncluttered living spaces and the addition of symbolic accessories such as statues, Buddha heads and water basins only. Favor natural materials such as wooden lanterns, rattan garden furniture and linen or cotton textiles. Use neutral and plain colors such as white, beige and black !
5- Outdoor meditation space
During summer time, nothing is as good as meditating under a pergola, breathing in the fresh outdoor air! It’s even easier to create a space like this using a round mat, grasses, and trellis. You can even build your own privacy outdoor screen panels with tall grass boxes. Small tip: use faux outdoor plants to free yourself from maintenance and fully enjoy your relaxation time!
6- Yoga room
An essential these days, a yoga room! Of course, not all of us have a room that we can solely devote to yoga. However, it’s easy to add this little corner to a living room, basement or office. Install a large rug, a wall mirror, a cactus, a bench and a large painting and you’ll have a setting worthy of this inspiration.
Try one of these ideas in your own setting to enjoy the benefits of meditation!
