Hi Lennie Thanks very much for your enquiry, and for your kind comments about my site. Your plans for an office/meditation/yoga room sound very interesting - and I think an eastern style decor would go very well in there. Firstly: layout! Think about how you wish to plan the layout of your room. Which task will it be used for the majority of the time? Once you have established this, you should make sure your layout and furniture makes this task as effortless as possible, and then work the others around it. You might want to think about what you are looking at while working, meditating or doing yoga... is there a nice view from a window, do you need to create a focal point in your room, such as a fireplace, or a wall of extra-nice wallpaper? Think about whether you need some sort of partitioning for the different tasks? Do you want to be able to see your desk when you are trying to meditate or relax with yoga? It might make you feel more stressed if you can see your workplace. Think about screens, or other partitioning, curtains, shelving etc, or an office that can be shut away when not in use... More help (generally) on layout here: <a href="http://www.interior-design-it-yourself.com/arranging-furniture.html">All about Arranging Furniture</a> Colors:<br> Blue and green are very good colors for relaxation. <br> Purple is a very good color for spirituality. Yellow is an ideal color for stimulating the intellect, so is good for work areas - but you may find this color too stimulating for your meditation/yoga areas. You might find this page on color therapy useful to make your mind up on the colors you wish to use: <a href="http://www.interior-design-it-yourself.com/decorating_color_schemes.html">About Color Therapy</a> General color help: <a href="http://www.interior-design-it-yourself.com/decorating-with-color.html">About Decorating with Color</a> Style:<br> An eastern style will lend itself very well to a yoga/meditation room - especially if you use low furniture. Find pictures to inspire you as you put together your new look. I have a few style ideas on my pages, here: <a href="http://www.interior-design-it-yourself.com/asian-decorating.html">About Asian Decorating</a> ..also use the Google images search, or magazines, to find more photos and looks to inspire the look that's right for your room. Wishing you much luck with your decorating project I'd love to see how your office/meditation/yoga room turns out. Hope the move and all the decorating go well Very best wishes Charlotte
