It is often said that, “you can tell much about a person from their environment.” A cement factory or a mechanic workshop has no appeal to an upcoming artist or art curator except when in need of they services they offer.
Instead, they are familiar with art museums and galleries. Spaces to learn, grow, connect, and get inspiration to create their own art. So it is for the believer too.
In order for the Christian to grow in faith, love, and trust in God, they have to be intentional about the spaces they spend most of their time in. Ultimately, your environment plays a vital role in your spirituality. It is true that nobody is in full control of spaces one might find themselves in at every turn. Hence, it might be difficult to always be in spaces that edify your spirit, build faith and hope, and ignite your love for God. However, there is a solution for this problem. Ensure your home – where you spend most of your time, is intentionally designed to accommodate and foster the presence of God. This involves carefully selecting home decor items that inspire your faith and provides a faith-filled atmosphere for serenity and growth.
Here are some creative home decor ideas to create the perfect space that resonates deeply with your soul and align with Christian beliefs:
- Intentional Christian Wall Art: Start by designing your space with artwork that reflects the essence of your faith. Whether it is inspirational quotes, bible verses, or rugs with symbolic meanings, choose pieces that remind you of your identity in Christ and still offer a serene and unique atmosphere. Opt for cohesive color palettes that compliments your existing home décor and helps create a harmonious and visually pleasing atmosphere. Position these artworks strategically in spaces where you spend time in reflection, such as a meditation corner or home office.
- Comfy seating: Want a home where you can feel at ease conversing with God at any time of the day? The key to that kind of success is comfortable and inviting seating arrangement. Choose furniture that aligns with your aesthetic preferences while ensuring comfort. Creative options for comfortable furniture include plush meditation cushions, cozy armchairs, and simple wooden benches. Essentially, the seating should encourage a sense of relaxation and contemplation. Add soft throws and cushions in soothing colors to enhance the comfort and visual appeal of the space.
- Natural elements: Incorporate natural elements into your living area and revel in the creative prowess of your Heavenly Father. These natural materials such as indoor plants, stones, or wooden accents add aesthetic appeal. They also symbolize growth, grounding, and the enduring nature of faith. Select plants known for their air-purifying qualities to promote a healthy and invigorating environment too.
- Inspiring textiles: Stay grounded in God by incorporating tapestries, rugs, or drapes that feature spiritual motifs, patterns, or verses. These textiles add visual richness to your space and can create a backdrop for your meditation or prayer space. Choose fabrics in calming colors to foster a sense of tranquility, and ensure that they harmonize with the overall design scheme of your home.
