Your sacred space might contain a single object such as a statue, sculpture or private altar you deliberately place in a special location, or it may be an entire room or garden or even your entire home arranged with furnishings, objects and décor that have special meaning for you.
"It's a place to be reborn and renewed every day — a place to find rest," says Las Vegas interior designer Laura Rogers. "It's about drawing yourself inward and getting closer to what's in your heart."
Rogers offers these tips on using décor, lighting, sculptures, altars, furniture and more to tangibly connect with the sacred or spiritual side of yourself.
Choose what tastes, sounds, smells, looks and feels good to you. Choose objects that give you energy, inspire you or help you get into the ritual of your meditation, yoga, prayer or other sacred practice.
Also consider using a screen, curtain or other boundary to make your sacred space feel more contained, relaxing and personal.
