FFDM’s Brentwood Collection depicted here the perfect relaxation/reading nook inside a typical bedroom.
One of the most cherished moments in every person’s life is that so-called alone time or me time. Most people nowadays don’t have much time in their hands so they feel that they deserve a quiet moment every now and then. Just as healthy eating and regular exercise are both important for a sound mind; relaxation is just as crucial. Your alone time can help you reflect and meditate so you can rejuvenate your mind for the next days.
Your Private Getaway
Indeed, no man can be truly autonomous. Sure, no man is an island, but creating your own meditation space can nourish deep thinking. It encourages you to think independently at the moment. There are, after all, thought processes that are better carried out when you are on your own.
Your private sanctuary is an amazing place to do that. There is no anxiety there and no desire to feel the companionship of anyone.
Time to Reboot
Always being on the go or being up on your toes can be exhausting. You will eventually come to a point when you’ll feel burnt out.
Taking some time to replenish in a quiet environment should decrease stimulation and stress. Remove any kind of distraction inside this special room (or nook) such as TV or any kind of gadget. Having these interruptions remove will improve the quality of rest that you will get from this private place.
Regenerating your spirit will be easy if you know how to set up your me space. This intimate space should allow you to flush out your mental clutter and even discover answers to certain problems.
Just as you would do in any ritual such as eating, exercising or even bathing, you must take time to regenerate. You need to be in touch with your inner self and this can happen when you physically pull away from the daily grind.
So what sort of interior design elements should you bring into this room? Since it is going to be a sanctuary, make sure that you choose the correct wall color to begin with. Pick from the cool color palettes. Available to use are pastels and other light hues such as powder blue, light green, muted yellow, and light pink. Veer away from glaring colors as these will only stimulate you to be more active rather than restful.
Still from FFDM’s Brentwood Collection, this furniture ensemble is the best spot to read and relax.11
“Me” Space Requirements
Life is already a rollercoaster ride so hold your horses and take the time to bring in some furniture pieces that can help you relax. A recliner could be a great solution for some; most prefer to set up a nook where they could read and ponder over their lives, though. The recliner could evoke sleepiness which is not what you would want during this moment. While you want to be relaxed, you wouldn’t want to fall asleep, though. Your goal is to rejuvenate through correct meditation.
This space can be no more than a nook in your bedroom or any less busy part of your home.
Your me space can also be your reading corner so it can be placed inside a home library or a quiet home office. What every reading corner needs are a small side table (enough to hold a book, lamp, your eyeglasses, and a pen). This lovely table can be matched with an equally lovely chair. For your comfort, you can invest in a cushioned chair so your reading or me moments would become more relaxing.
Lighting is an important element to consider when setting up your me space. Make sure that the light isn’t installed behind you as this will cause shadows to be formed right into that novel that you will peruse later on.
Life can be happy, sad, even challenging most of the time. Now that you have your me space, you can now refuel to take on even the toughest challenges that life would throw your way.
