Answer 1

Light grey walls with a trace of purple and pink in it, plus cushions, plus the sound of falling water and lots of room to keep my mind from focusing on any sensory objects. Cover the bases, but do not clutter your meditation space. Your mind must be left free to find space within itself and if your meditation room looks like a supermarket, your meditation time will be in vain - less is more, so go accordingly.

Answer 2

Hi, first you need to make the room peaceful so the walls need to be in soft colours so that what ever time of day or night the colour brings Harmony to the people there maybe a silver grey or some sort of pale blue.The sound of water is good but not to loud as to distract,soft lighting,is a must.Have you thought of some sort of design on the ceiling like clouds,just a thought, and not to use white light use a colour.If you had the money you could get some-one to paint a picture of waves on one wall.I wouldn't go to much with the flowers as some people suffer with the smells.

Answer 3

my meditation rroom is mostly black and white, very plain. The bean bags to sit on are aromaish and they all are arounf a glass little table with flowers on it...also, there are some black and white candles and lots of aroma..i would feel at home with some modern art on the walls

Answer 4

colour pale blue, the colour of a hazy sky
candle vanilla scented
