GET RELAXED WITH ZEN STYLE!
23/09/2015
Zen, in
other words “meditation”, is one of the six perfections which make the
achievement of revelation possible. Zen style represents this ‘philosophy of
living the present’ by meditating and reflecting. A lot of people decide to
reproduce in their own place a relaxing simple style recalling this specific
life’s concept.
This genre
derives from Japanese world and prefers natural materials and light colors.
Wood and bamboo are the perfect choice for furniture, seats and floors. Cotton,
linen and wool are the best materials for every kind of window treatment
curtains in your house.
Curtains
are essential because they donate cosiness/intimacy without over-furnishing or
over-decorating the entire setting. So in order not to contrast with the
natural balance, simplicity and linearity of the furniture we have chosen, neutral colors are,
therefore, compulsory and each shade has a precise meaning: white stands for
knowledge, beige is the color of quietness and green sage donates peace and
relaxation.
Not to be
neglected is the fact that zen style prefers a continuum between items and settings
and also it likes some only tone chromatic games.
A “must
have” are the little tables and pillows used as seats, the same ones we have
seen upholstered with our same fabrics used for window treatment curtains. Small
furnishing accessories has to be essential and the only decorations admitted
are fabric decorations such as framed embroideries.
In short, a
style able to donate a peaceful sensation without neglecting some hints of
originality, minimalism, exoticism like trends instruct.
