It is a space of intimacy that belongs only to you and that you will certainly visit quite frequently. It is therefore important to feel good there and to arrange it in your image so that each of your visits is synonymous with joy.
As for furniture and accessories, bet on comfort and sobriety, and for decoration, choose representative and soothing objects, images or photographs, in accordance with your practices and your beliefs. So you can imagine painting the walls in a soft or neutral color and consider dim lighting.

Regardless of its layout or size, the main thing is, above all, that you feel good there and that it makes you want to gather there at your own pace, with pleasure.
