Having a quiet, reflection space in your home can be the ultimate in relaxation, but it’s very hard to relax if you can’t stop thinking about how much money you spent on it. Don’t let that be your fate when it comes to a meditation room. You can get one on a budget, so you’ll be better able to have what you need and not be so worried about the cost of it. To get a meditation room on a budget, you’ll need to be creative. You might have to DIY some of the things in your new space, and you’ll also need to repurpose what you can from other areas of the house. By doing that, you’ll be much better able to provide a space that’s elegant, comfortable, and beautiful, and that gives you the calming tranquility you’re looking for in your new medication room. Here are four tips to get started.
1). How can you get a clean and uncluttered space?
In order to have a good meditation space, it needs to be clean and uncluttered. Trying to meditate in a space that needs dusted or vacuumed, or somewhere that’s overrun with your children’s toys, isn’t going to provide the level of calm you’re looking for. Using part of your budget for cleaning and storage solutions can be a great use of your money, and can help you put things away so they’re not bothering you when you’re trying to relax. Even some large tubs with lids that will fit into the closet can be a good way to make sure you have room for everything. Pack things up neatly, label them, slide them into the closet, and shut the door. Then they’re not in the way and you’re not worried about the closet being messy or cluttered, either. It’s very important for the room to be peaceful.
2). Should you bring in small plants?
After buying a great home, you naturally want to decorate it and make it into your own. One of the ways you can do that and add to the tranquility is through the use of plants. You don’t want to turn your meditation room into a jungle, because that can quickly get overwhelming. However, you can work toward making the space more peaceful and calming if you bring in small plants. It’s also good for the air and the oxygen levels in the room, which can contribute to that meditative state you’re looking for. Just make sure that they’re plants you like, and that they’re designed for indoors. You also want to be careful with plants if you have pets or small children. If that’s the case you may need to use artificial plants to get the same kind of look at the room without the risk.
3). What about having those calming colors?
The color on the walls in your meditation room matters. Fortunately, paint isn’t that expensive. You don’t need to purchase a high-end paint to get a good look. Just make sure you buy a reasonable quality brand, and that you paint the room carefully and thoroughly. Even a less expensive paint can look very good when the room is painted with two or more coats and the edges are neat and sharp. By choosing a calm, cool color, you’ll feel more peaceful in your new meditation room and it will be easier for you to relax. If you have a lot of light-colored paint you’re not using, you can also consider having it re-tinted to a slightly darker shade, and using that. It costs a little, but is generally cheaper than purchasing new paint. It might be just the unique color you want in the room.
4). Do you need some meditative music?
In making changes to your house, consider sound. Especially in your meditation room, you may want to have some music. You can use a streaming service, or choose CDs or other options. You can also use an iPod with a playlist you want to have for your meditation. There are so many good options that you’ll be able to select the one you like best. Overall, the main goal is just to have the music you want, available to you when you want it. You may want to add some speakers around the room, too. You don’t want the music to be too loud, but being enveloped by it when it comes from more than one direction can help you feel more like you’re in the moment. That’s a great way to feel even more peaceful and really enjoy everything that your new meditation space has to offer.
It’s not necessary to break the bank to get a good space for meditating. All it takes is a little bit of creativity and a modest budget, and you can have a great space that’s peaceful and calm. Then you can really enjoy it and appreciate what it offers, without being concerned about the money that was spent to make it into a reality.
