Creating a mindful living space involves combining certain techniques evoking a satisfying feeling of happiness.
Being surrounded by visual triggers, can change your general happiness and overall wellbeing.
To create the look in your home or work space, there are three key principles to follow.
Key principles:
- Planning: arranged to help not hinder
- Exterior/interior materials: tactile textures
- Memento’s: memorabilia triggering good memories

Arranged to help not hinder, a space needs to have a focus as well as a function.
Easy access to functional items, clear navigation, storage and plenty of light, enable a space to become a mindful retreat.
