After three months of construction, my new home is almost ready for my husband and me to move into. One of the most rewarding parts of this amazing journey was going furniture shopping for pieces to put in my new space. While shopping for items, I picked out a gorgeous wooden bench to place in my foyer. I also selected a comfortable couch, a velvet chaise lounge, and an accent chair complete with nail-head trim. Before making my final purchases, I shopped at a few reputable furniture stores. I also made pictures of the pieces I was interested in. On this blog, I hope you will discover valuable tips to help you select the furniture you’ve always dreamed about. Enjoy!
Your home should be a peaceful and productive space. It should be a place where you can escape from the hectic pace of the outside world and relax. However, if your current home is not set up to be a relaxing space, then you need to do some shopping and pick out some items that will allow you to create a dedicated space to be meditative and relax. After all, a cluttered, busy room is not the most conducive to a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. So, here are some easy decor ideas that will help you get started.
Ambient Sound Machine
It can be hard to be mindful and meditative when there is a lot of noise going around. This is why you should invest in an ambient sound machine. These machines are great at covering up background sound (neighbor's television, traffic, etc.) and creating a peaceful space for you to relax in and meditative. You can find them that have a variety of sounds ranging from white noise to ocean waves to rain.
Blackout Curtains
Another thing you will want to get for your home is a set of blackout curtains. These will help you block out the light and glare from streetlamps so that you will have a nice dark space to relax in. This way, if you want to meditative in complete darkness, you can turn off the lights and pull the curtains closed, and you will have a room as close to sensory deprivation as possible.
Indoor Water Fountain
One of the more peacefully and meditative decoration ideas is to purchase a water fountain that is designed to be used indoors. These are great because they allow you to have the peaceful sound of running water and also something very calming to look at when you are relaxing in your meditative space. You can get an indoor water fountain that is designed to be run either on batteries or else you can get one that is corded, and you can set it up on a pedestal stand in the corner of your room. Some of these indoor water fountains are made of colored glass, while others are made of stone to mimic the natural look of a forest stream. You can also choose to get wall-mounted water fountains that mimic cascading waterfalls that you might see in nature. These would work well if you were designed your room to have a Zen-like design.
