How to Craft a DIY Meditation Space

Meditation is known to reduce stress and help practitioners cultivate inner peace, which brings with it a plethora of benefits to everyday life. Finding a place to meditate shouldn’t be stressful; in fact, rather than worrying about when and where your next opportunity to meditate will be, consider crafting your own DIY meditation space in your home. You may be surprised by how easy it is to craft such a space, and being in your own designated meditation area will help you develop a mediation routine that will bring with it invaluable benefits. 

The perfect home meditation space should be the essence of zen: quiet, calming, aesthetically pleasing and distraction-free. To do this, let’s take a look at how you can craft the sound, sights and smells to refine your at-home meditation space.

Eliminate Distractions with a DIY Meditation Space

Ensuring your meditation room only contains the sounds you want is essential. Reducing distracting sound in your space is the best way to manage the sound that fills your meditative mind. There are many ways to acoustically optimize a meditation space, including focusing on the walls, ceiling and floors, and utilizing the right materials will dramatically improve your zen den. 

Walls

One of the easiest ways to add sound absorption to your walls is to add acoustic wall art or sound-absorbing geometric panels. Additionally, sound-absorbing diffusors help dampen unwanted outside sounds while creating a surrounding sense of calm. Diffusors can be placed upright on the ground or be mounted on the walls, making your space customizable to fit your needs. Acoustic Geometry’s sound-absorbing panels are also visually appealing, creating a relaxing and customized look for your DIY relaxation space. 

You can also step up your meditation space by adding a backlight to your diffusors or wall art, accentuating the art and creating a soft, soothing glow for your room. Namaste! 

Ceiling and floors

Depending on whether your meditation room is upstairs or downstairs, you may want to consider acoustically reinforcing the ceiling, floors or both. If you want to really block out the sound from above and below, you can add in acoustic flooring underlay. This solution is great for new construction homes or when you’re ready to replace and reinforce your floors. The recycled rubber material helps reduce noise vibrations from above, which is especially crucial for meditators in multi-level and multi-unit apartments, so neighbors don’t infringe upon the quiet of your mind.

Alternatively, you can simply add some carpeting or rugs on the floor above to dampen the sound of any footsteps or noisy family members. Even adding a comfortable carpet in your meditation space can create a sense of coziness and relaxation and can potentially reduce any noise from below. 

Focus on Aesthetics

Before you get too meditative, you may notice that your space needs a little makeover. Luckily, many of Acoustic Geometry’s sound absorbing products double as aesthetic enhancements. As mentioned earlier, acoustic wall art is a simple yet effective way to eliminate noise and add calming visuals to your room. 

When creating your DIY space, adding soothing visual elements as well as acoustically optimized items will improve the ambiance of your meditation room. Consider adding plants, statues, photos, blankets or other items. However, be careful not to add too many or they will clutter the space. Only include items essential for your relaxation and meditation.

Finally, adding a few candles or an essential oil diffuser can enhance the look and smell of the room, which can help you focus on your meditation and improve your relaxation.
