Zen style in home interiors is a triumph of minimalism. Zen-style in the interior is usually associated with something oriental, outlandish, and whimsical. However, Zen is not a religion and is not a philosophy … Zen is a state of mind, rational perception, awareness of the significance and value of the moment – here and now. Moreover, this value exists independently of our thoughts and desires.

Benefits of Hiring a Designer for Your Home Makeover
Our homes are where we spend a good chunk of our lives. It is because of this that it is so important our homes are designed the way that we want them to be; there are many reasons we may need to hire a home designer, from simply not having time, to being physically unable to redesign our homes.

(I wish I had. My sister and I, forced to act quickly to avoid owing an extra months’ rent on dad’s apartment, hired a hauler to cart away nearly everything we didn’t want or wouldn’t be donating, some of which he said he’d give to charity.)
Many boomers and Gen X’ers charged with disposing the family heirlooms, it seems, are unprepared for the reality and unwilling to face it.
