Meditation Room Ideas for Your Home

Juggling the responsibilities of work and home can cause anxiety and stress and a great way to get away from all that is by creating a meditation room in your home. A meditation room can be anything you want it to be so long as it helps you relax and relieves the burden of stress and anxiety. If you do not have enough space to dedicate an entire room then all you need to do is find a space in your home that you can use for your meditation area below are some ideas on how to create a meditation room in your home.

Minimal

To create a meditation room in your home you do not need a large area (you don’t even need a room) or a lot of items, just what helps you relax. You can simply have a floor pillow, rug, and candles and you have a space for your meditation room. The key is to keep distractions away and give you an area to clear your mind and relax from all the stress that we have each day.

Hallway

Don’t have enough space to dedicate an entire room for meditation, no problem if you have a hallway you have a meditation room. Since most homes have hallways and we tend to not place too many items in the hallway, they make great meditation rooms. This small uncluttered space is great for helping you to relax and let the stress go away. You can simply place a bench that can be used to store your meditation items like candles and pillows, and a nice rug and you can convert your hallway into a meditation room.

Outdoor

If you have a yard that is large enough you can dedicate an area to create your outdoor meditation room. You can choose to build an enclosed room, open room, or simply have an area in your garden dedicated to meditation. The key is to make sure it is a place that is calm and inviting and helps you to relax. The nice thing is that your outdoor meditation room can also be a great place to entertain guests and a great choice is a gazebo that you can hang curtains around and decorate with furniture and pillows.

Zen Garden

One great way to create a meditation area is to construct a Zen garden. While Zen gardens may be basic in design including just rocks and gravel, these gardens require daily maintenance to ensure that there are no weeds and the rake lines are crisp and clean. Part of the mediation process is the maintenance of this garden as it helps to relax and clear the mind of the individual maintaining it. These simple yet elegant and useful gardens not only look great but serve as a place to go and relax and escape the stress of everyday life.

Waterfall

The sound of water can be very relaxing and makes a great element for your meditation room. With the different types of waterfall features available you can include this element into either your interior or exterior area of your home. You can purchase water features that are small enough to fit on an end table or large enough that they require an entire wall, the choice is yours based on how much room and money you have to dedicate to your waterfall meditation room. These features will not only benefit you by helping with your meditation and relaxation, but they also make great decorating items and will have your friends and family talking.

Japanese

One great meditation is a Japanese-inspired meditation room, this room is minimalistic in décor and offers a great way to relax and unwind. Japanese meditation rooms are simple to design and you simply need a room that incorporates nature either by facing a window or windows or by creating it in an outdoor space. The simple room layout usually incorporates a small table in the middle of the room with floor cushions on either side or sliding doors that reveal the outdoors. You can also add candles, a Buddha statue, water elements, plants, etc whatever helps you to relax and meditate.

Ocean View

If you live near the ocean then you can create an ocean-view meditation room that is sure to make you relax. Not only are the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach soothing, but the wonderful colour patterns you see as the sun rises and sets over the ocean are breathtaking. You can either create an outdoor meditation room so you can soak up all the sights and sounds of the ocean or you can create a room in your house that faces the ocean and you can open a window to hear the soothing sounds of the waves. No matter what you choose you are sure to be able to let the stress just melt away.

Bathroom

A great space to create your meditation room is the bathroom; this is particularly practical for individuals who do not have a lot of space in their home but also because it is a quiet place that is easy to incorporate a water element. You can purchase a rainwater showerhead that creates the look, feel, and sound of rain which can help you relax.
