Finding serenity and peace of mind is the aim of many people in this fast-paced modern world. More than ever, the home has become a spiritual retreat, a space in which people can escape from the pressures of life and discover inner tranquillity. Drawing on the main principles of Zen Buddhism, this text shows how the design of a living space can create an oasis of calm in which to unwind, relax and recuperate. The volume looks at the main principles of minimalist interior design, showing how a simple, pared-down style can bring a spiritual dimension to life. There are evocative photographs celebrating the cool cleanliness of the modern Zen approach, emphasizing the importance of space and light, clean architectural lines, and the distance between one object and another, as well as an absence of clutter in which all objects are functional, yet beautiful. The author also explains how an appreciation of nature and the natural world, including the texture of stone, wood and water, for example, can bring harmony into the house and garden.
