Zen – Anandaheart


Each day, we want to take the time to showcase the amazing work from the pool of our talented home & garden photographers from Flickr. Please add your home & garden blog and photography to our group. Credits must be given to be considered for the Image Of The Day.

In a world where the frenetic pace takes over our daily lives, Anandaheart invites us to immerse ourselves in an oasis of tranquillity and meditation with its recent decorative creation. This space, designed with exquisite sensitivity, captures the essence of zen, becoming a refuge for the soul.

As we enter this room, the first thing that envelops us is the warm natural light that filters through a glass door, wide open. This entrance of light not only illuminates the space but also symbolises openness and clarity, fundamental principles of Zen design. Each ray of sunlight seems to whisper calm and serenity, inviting us to leave our worries behind.

A low, simple but deeply symbolic table takes centre stage. On it rests a serenely contemplative Buddha figure, accompanied by a small candle holder whose flickering flame could represent the inner light we all seek. The minimalist arrangement of objects – a japa mala, a bell and other ritual elements – suggests a space dedicated to introspection and meditation.

To one side, a plant in a simple ceramic pot brings a touch of freshness and life, while the pond with water lilies and a koi fish in the foreground connects us with nature. Water, a symbol of tranquillity and fluidity, adds an extra layer of serenity to the atmosphere.

The wall hanging, with its design emulating nature, complements the scene with subtlety and elegance. This decorative element not only beautifies the space but also reinforces the connection to the natural, a pillar of Zen design.

The neutral colour palette – whites, greys and soft greens – together with the natural textures of wood and ceramics, create an atmosphere that is both warm and peaceful. Every detail has been carefully selected to avoid visual distractions, allowing the mind to quieten and find its centre.

To achieve this harmonious composition, Anandaheart has drawn on exceptional design brands such as Thor, Loft & Aria, Pitaya, 8f8, and Venture. Each of these brands brings their distinctive stamp, enriching the space with unique pieces that integrate seamlessly into the whole, elevating the aesthetics and functionality of the environment.

Anandaheart has woven a space where each element tells a story of peace and harmony. This meditation corner is not only a physical place, but a state of mind to which we can aspire. In its simplicity, we find depth; in its calm, we find clarity. This design not only beautifies, it transforms, reminding us that true serenity lies in simplicity and connection with our natural surroundings.
“True serenity lies in the simple and in the connection with our natural environment”.
