EZ Living Interiors On Mindful Interior Design

​In today’s increasingly busy world, one where multi-tasking and mobile devices threaten to dominate our everyday lives, it’s more important than ever to take some time for ourselves and detach from life’s demands. This is a time for practicing mindfulness, which means having a clear awareness of our thoughts and feelings and of our immediate environment, shutting out all past and future distractions and simply embracing the present moment.

We all need to take a few moments every day to properly experience mindfulness, as these few minutes of serenity can be enough to let go of the pent-up stress from our hectic daily routines. Giving a short time each day to practicing mindfulness will ease our anxieties, free us of negative thoughts, boost our immune system and facilitate a better quality of sleep. In turn, we will feel far more energized and motivated when waking up the next morning.

As this infographic from EZ Living Interiors shows, a simple way to promote mindfulness is through interior design. It is very easy to arrange your home in a way that, as soon as you enter the front door, you can immediately feel more relaxed. A clutter-free environment with an abundance of natural light effortlessly creates positive energy and enhances a sense of mindfulness. Choose soft, neutral color tones for your décor, as this will help to achieve a mood of calm and serenity. Embellish your home with nature by incorporating plants into your décor and using sensuous natural fragrances. Best of all, establish a defined space for meditation and relaxation, a room that you’ll quickly associate with practicing mindfulness and switching off from the pressures of the outside world.

Last year, Pinterest reported a 248% increase in search demand for ‘mindfulness’ in its home décor category, which suggests that the modern homeowner places great value in creating a mindful interior. You can pick up some fantastic tips on mindfulness in interior design in the infographic above.
