Garden Rooms: The Perfect Sanctuary Spot

Submitted by: Alyssa Davis

If you’re like many people today, relaxation and comfort are probably at the top of your “wish list” when it comes to decorating your indoor living spaces. At the end of a hectic day, there’s nothing quite as nice as being able to come home to your own personal sanctuary space. If you’re looking for the perfect spot to create a soothing retreat from the outside world, look no further than your garden room. If you find yourself craving solace, relaxation and spiritual rejuvenation, here are a few quick tips that will help you transform your garden room into the perfect sanctuary spot.

Location, Location, Location

When decorating your garden room, it’s vitally important to pay attention to its location. Since you’ll undoubtedly want to include live plants in the room, sunny windows as well as shady corners are features to pay particular attention to. When choosing plants for your garden room, be sure to select those that are a good match for the room’s light intensity and temperature. By doing so, your plants will thrive without too much effort on your part. Of course, there are some things you can do to alter a room’s light and temperature levels if need be. For example, if you favor shade-loving plants but your garden room gets a lot of natural sunlight, try hanging light-filtering shades or blinds. If the plants you choose need a bit more light than what the room’s windows can provide, try adding a supplemental light source.

Art for Every Location

It’s easy to get stuck in a bit of a rut when decorating your home. If you find that you have a tendency to use the same decorating techniques over and over, perhaps it’s time to explore other options. Garden metal hangings can be used in many different ways throughout a room. Although these pieces are commonly used as wall art, don’t be afraid to use them in entirely different ways if the mood strikes you. For example, some metal hangings can look great when suspended from the ceiling. Try adding small stone or metal statues to flower pots, or use a decorative area rug on a table.

Sights, Sounds and Smells

When you think of a garden, chances are the beautiful sights aren’t the only things you remember. A walk through an outdoor garden can be a real treat for all the senses. The sound of a small waterfall, a tinkling wind chime, or perhaps the scent of fresh flower blooms are all outdoor wonders that can add charm to your indoor garden sanctuary space. Think about what you enjoy most when walking in an outdoor garden. Then find fresh and interesting ways to bring these enjoyable features indoors.

Peace and Solace

Although garden rooms are always pleasant places to spend some time, there are a few added features that can make them more enjoyable as a sanctuary spot. Think about the kinds of things that bring you the most pleasure and relaxation. Then find ways to add features to your garden room that will make it easier to experience and enjoy your favorite things. For example, if reading relaxes you, make sure your garden room includes a cozy, well-lit reading corner. If you enjoy yoga, a comfortable mat could be all you really need. If music is your thing, make sure your garden room includes a good sound system. You might just find that your indoor garden sanctuary spot will become your favorite room of the house.
