decorating a comfort zone
Over the past decade, Western design trends have integrated what
has been known for centuries among Asian cultures as part of the
Feng Shui theories: the way we decorate our living spaces has a
major influence on our emotions and moods.
According to the ancient art of designing exterior architecture
and organizing interior spaces, decorating our homes following
certain principles can help reduce stress and will build up
feelings of well-being and calm.
One of tenet of the theory is that there should be a designated
space in every home where you can take time for yourself and
just chill out. It doesn't have to be a separate room. It could
be a quiet area for reading. Balconies, decks, or quiet corners
in a bedroom or living room all have the potential to be a
rejuvenating comfort zone. Be creative, you can also use
decorative screens to create such a space. It does not have to
be a large area, but an area that sole purpose is to be the area
where you can wind down.
If you enjoy reading, set a
space apart--big or small. No matter
how much you love spending time in the company of family and
friends, there comes a time when privacy is just what you need.
Reading, meditating, cooking your favorite meals, listening to
music or practicing yoga; think about what relaxes you and
dedicate a space to your well being. Select relaxing colors, and
do avoid bright colors like red and oranges. Light the area with
soft lighting. If you like reading, do not overflow the whole
space with bright lights but choose a task lamp and position it
over your seating. Play with lights and colors, but think also
in terms of touch. Choose soft textures and materials, and forms
that are curvy and simple.
