Creating a Zen Living Room
If you’re not such where to begin your Zen décor journey, why not start with your main living space? Your living room is the main gathering place in your home. Zen spaces are meant to be shared with like-minded people. Connect with others and connect with the earth by creating a social space with organic elements. Keep your furniture low to the ground and focused on functionality. Accessorize with wooden details and a light, bright color palette.

Create a Soft Atmosphere
Soft materials are a huge part of Zen design. Adding a soft rug will give you a multi-sensory experience. Create a plush pad for your feed, and consider luxe textiles in grey, dusty pink, or beige. Keep in mind the color of your floor and choose an area rug that complements your existing color scheme.
Use Light, Natural Textiles
Whether it be bedding or curtains, all textiles should be natural and light. Experiment with fabric like cotton, silk, and wool. The two most important elements of Zen décor are the drapes and upholstery, which provide a sensation of peace and comfort. Billowy, lightweight fabrics are essential to achieving a calm and serene look.

Achieve Ultra-Soft Lighting
In addition to soft fabric, soft lighting is also a major part of Zen décor. Install dimmer lights in the bedroom to set a relaxing mood. You can also add some scented candles in the living area, bathroom, or bedroom. Scented candles also add to the aromatherapy aspect of Zen interiors.

Be Smart with Storage
Zen is all about calm, open spaces. If your home is full of clutter, then you need to make it clutter-free! Adding concealed storage will give your space a cleaner, more expansive appearance. Create storage spaces in empty corners of your kitchen and utility spaces to maximize organization. Plus, remember to rid yourself of anything that doesn’t serve you.
