Transform Your Home into a ‘Zen Space’

Your home is your ‘Zen Space’. Whether you are on a holiday or out on a business tour, your personal space remains your home. Altering a few essential elements to make you feel calm and blissful is always a good option, however, it does tend to get a bit overwhelming. It’s not necessary to consult an interior designer but is surely advisable if you’re planning to dramatically remodel the house.

We have a few suggestions to help you convert your home into a ‘Zen Space’.

First and foremost thing to do away with are dark coloured walls. Your walls must radiate an aura of positivity, calmness and joy. What makes it even more delightful, are colours which bring out the dark spaces, you never knew existed earlier. Pastel colours like lavender, Ivory, Aqua blue, ocean green and white, can perk up the entire house, adding peace to your life.

The second thoughtful addition is to smartly use a good wallpaper. These days, you can get custom printed wallpaper that can be made to suit your taste. But if you’re looking for something interesting on a budget, pick out your wall decals – available on leading online shopping websites. Decals can add instant charm to your walls whilst keeping it tidy. From Buddha to chirping birds to musical notes, you can find a whole bunch of decals online.

But not just the four walls, you can embellish your ceilings in a way that creates a visual impact. Adding stunning lighting fixtures is a sure way to make the room look bigger and more lively.

Go to the local nursery and speak to the gardeners about low maintenance indoor plants that you can integrate into your living space.
