In a frenzied modern world, the concept of the home as a place of retreat and tranquility is increasingly seductive. Peaceful Spaces offers chic and accessible solutions with which to develop your spiritual sanctuary. It is about building a personal oasis of calm -- a place where you can escape from the clutter and consumerism of the outside world without rejecting the comforts that make a home into a haven. Alice Whately draws inspiration from the spirituality of the East, combining Oriental simplicity with our basic human need to connect with the rhythms of the natural world. She presents inspirational ways in which to apply this tenet to the key areas of the modern home -- spaces for living, eating, sleeping, bathing, and working, as well as spaces for enjoying the outdoors. Whether your home is a minimal urban loft or a relaxed, pared-down country retreat, this serene style creates spaces that are soothing rather than stark.
