BUY HERE: 15 Decor Ideas to Create a Zen Den
For a little while now, wellness and sustainability have been at the core of global design movements. It came as little surprise when American e-commerce company The Plan Collection, who provides homeowners and builders pre-drawn house plans, announced zen dens as one of its top design predictions for 2020. Based on the Japanese Wabi Sabi aesthetic, a zen den is a personal space to retreat, rejoice and reboot.
The best part is that it’s possible to incorporate these calm caves into your home, no matter the size or decor style. Depending on available space and your budget, you can choose to dedicate an entire room, an outdoor area or a niche within your bedroom/study. Some pointers to remember: Keep design elements to a minimum (five or less), choose a muted palette, plenty of textures to stimulate the senses and maintain a tech-free zone.
