I am by no means a decorator. I don’t get excited about textiles and fabrics. That doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy a nice living space. But if you don’t get turned on by swatches of paint and carpet stores, you know that creating the perfect space in terms of home decor can be as challenging as putting on false lashes or mastering smoky eyes (without looking like a bandit) can be with makeup. Not to mention that some of us live in places that are square foot challenged, over-crowded with the multiple tastes or needs of family or just plain cluttered. You may not have the time, talent or dollars to do a complete home makeover, but you can start small.
Create one sacred space. A place that you can go when you need to chill out, hide out, or take a time out. It doesn’t have to be a room, it can be a corner or a closet. I’ll never forget, many years ago on Oprah, this one woman had cleared out her closet, put up a curtain, decorated the inside, and that was her meditation room. For me that sacred space is my bathroom. It’s tiny. So, I added some spa books and accents to give it some life and a theme and it works for me. You’d be surprised what a book, a candle, and a decorative box can do to spruce up an area and create a relaxing atmosphere.
So what is your sacred space? Do you have an idea for creating your own comfort zone?
