Is your interior lacking in serenity, not very tempting for relaxation, and you want to create a calm and restful atmosphere?
Embrace Zen decor! Here are a few tips to turn your home into a haven of peace…
A Zen style of interior decoration is often associated with calm, serenity and harmony. To compose your Zen decor, be inspired by the Asians, the masters of the subject; you are also advised to choose colours and materials that are restful to the eye.
To start with, opt for clean, pure lines. Avoid cluttering your vision or overloading the decor: favour low, simple pieces rather than heavy furniture. It's all about simplicity, so rule out any feeling of oppression.
An atmosphere is created starting with colours. For a relaxing decorative scheme, we recommend soft and soothing pastel shades. Favour neutral tones such as white, beige, taupe, grey, pink or pale green.
Zen decor is also all about natural materials. Light furniture, wooden flooring, linen or wool armchairs: all these elements will transform your interior into a relaxing place. Consider also cushions, curtains and plaid throws that will turn your home into a comfortable and pleasant place to live.
To perfect your Zen interior, choose soft lighting. Lights allow you to change the ambience ad infinitum. A tip: install a dimmer to adjust your lighting effects and opt for LED bulbs as they are softer and more economical. Finally, for an interior atmosphere which breathes, place plants such as bamboo or orchids in your home.
Consider also decorative Zen objects such as pebbles, Buddha or an indoor water feature ... add candles to create a warm and cosy atmosphere.
