How to Create a Mindful Home in 3 Steps

In the era of working from anywhere, mindfull home as a private space is required to build true craftsmanship and produce masterpieces.

Turning a corner of the house into a home studio is not just about putting a desk in the living room. It’s about curating the space to feel natural and mindful, by creating a clear physical and mental boundary between rest and work, despite being under the same roof, through the use of materials and light settings.

The key is Honest Materials & Invisible Tech.

1. Touch & Texture: Choose natural materials, namely solid wood and stone that soothe the sense of taste while we work. Linen fabric provides a sense of comfort due to its ability to provide a cold sensation, refresh and absorb moisture well, making it suitable for use as a tropical or summer texture. Linen fabric is also durable in addition to being environmentally friendly because it is produced from natural fibers, namely fibers from hemp plants and the production process does not involve harmful chemicals, so using linen also contributes to the environment.
2. Visual Silence: Hide cable clutter. Let the space breathe. The simple design provides space for the mind to move freely, in addition to giving it its own elegant feel.
3. Light as Tool: Use lighting as the main design element, not just lighting and if possible, use a natural light source, the sun. The trick is:

Create a reflective surface system to distribute and reflect natural light throughout the room, for example through large mirrors and glass tables. Choose a strategic placement for maximum results, such as across a window.

Choose paint colors with high reflection values, e.g. white, crane and pastel. Read the LRV (Light Reflectance Value) value on each paint before purchasing. The higher the LRV value, the brighter the space produced. Colors with LRV 70 and above are recommended for walls and ceilings. Light colors can reduce the need for artificial lighting. The house is also more energy-efficient.

The placement of large furniture can be a barrier to the entry of sunlight. High sofas, bookshelves, or large cabinets should not be placed in front of windows. Create an open zone near the source of the chaya and the furniture is arranged by following the direction of the sunlight, so that the space feels more spacious and bright.

Natural light can be reduced in the afternoon towards night. To keep the atmosphere bright and comfortable, use artificial lighting that can mimic natural feels. This makes the transition from day to night feel seamless. Keep your home bright without losing comfort.

Our workspace is a reflection of the clarity of our minds. A home office is designed with the intention not of expense, but an investment for the quality of our ideas in the future.
