How to Create a Meditation Nook
Amanda suggested that the best way to use extra space in your home is creating a meditation nook in your master suite or bonus room by adding a few simple design elements like a chunky custom area rug and window treatment.

“The area rug can be selected to match the rest of the decor and custom cut to fit the designated space,” she said. “The area rug serves as the floor cushion to relax.”
A soft wool or wool blend area rug has a natural look and is composed of a natural fibers with a soft, warm, comfortable feel.

Adding a custom window treatment to the space can help create those relaxing vibes that are so important for a meditation experience. Like woven woven wood shades from Hunter Douglas.
