Zen is a peaceful, grounded way of living, an intensely personal decorating style that resonates with the simplicity of the handmade art form. The zen design is minimalist using natural wood, cotton and silk, old world patterns of light and space, and absolutely no clutter. A Zen home is relaxing, introspective, and visually appealing. Establishing the free flow of energy in a space means clearing all obstacles. Imagine your home as a stream of crystal clear water, an open and uninhibited space where rooms blend into each other and doors open to more vivid and open spaces.
Zen design is based on natural light. Framing modern windows with old wooden arches and fluttering sheer curtains draw in the sunlight that dances across your spirit. The washed out patinas of the rustic old wood cabinets with floral carvings bring the zen of nature into your home. Tranquil and harmonious, the sheer joy of handcrafted doors with carvings that reflect the energies of the sun and chakras, as well as the natural tones of reclaimed wood, the subtle tones blend into a calming ambience that elevates the openness of the space. .
A splash of color with ocher patina coffee tables or a rustic white chai table with ivory floor cushions enhance your understated décor. A multicolored tribal damchiya in the study or a brass-clad cabinet with a green patina can energize a room. Cabinets made of old wood or media consoles with antique carvings are useful additions for storage. Try a salvaged medieval door cabinet in the foyer for storing boots, slippers, and bags.
A hand-carved Buddha in natural stone and a meditation candle create your yoga space. A whitewashed arched bookcase holds your books and a tall floor mirror made from a salvaged old Indian doorway gives the room an added dimension. Reclaimed windows house the green wall of potted herbs. Zen-inspired design is all about natural colors, earthy tones, and subtle hues, as seen in antique furniture and artifacts with hints of subtle color, creating a continuity in the flow of energy throughout the home.
A beautiful hand-carved artisan Buddha headboard in variations of natural wood with white linens is accented with artistic nightstands that are made from reclaimed old doors. The soft reddish and teal play beautifully with the natural wood textures and carvings. The beauty of nature plays with the zen of the house, peaceful, serene and relaxing interiors.
