How to create She Space just for you!

We as women have to be so many things for so many people and all in one day! We need our own space at the end of the day to come “home to” Whether that’s a diva den, a she space, a hello haven or just our perfect place, here are 6 great ideas to choose from to create a "she space" style that suits you.

Space 1. Creative Corner
She-space style: A place for “working at home” tasks, writing, melting pot ideas, or just to think. How to: This can be a place of healthy clutter to inspire a productive workflow. Pictures, postcards and other items make colourful displays. Baskets and jars holding shells, stones, beads or anything else to get your creative juice flowing. Desk drawers are a must to hide away the “paper”.

Space 2. Fabulous Food Finds
She-space style: A kitchen designed for the enthused chef, weekend cupcake baker, and the domestic goddess that loves testing out the latest cookbooks.
How to: Stop thinking of the kitchen as just a boring white space for preparing family meals. Add art on the walls, paint the cupboard doors and make every day items like glassware & kitchen tools inventive displays. Make the main ingredient to this space your personality which will also add flair to your cooking! Also ensure there are chairs for others to sit, not just the “chef” so everyone is invited and comfortable in this space.

Space 3: Silent Sanctuary
She-space style: A noise free space away from disruptions like the kids, TV, and the outside world.
How to: Banish any items that you find distracting, not just sound items but visual distractions too. Surround yourself with things you love, such as favourite books, magazine stacks, fresh flowers and calm accessories. If it's a large enough space you can even practise meditation or yoga. Make spending time in this space a daily ritual of calm.

Space 4: Pampering Place
She-space style: A spa-like setting for those little luxuries we can’t go without.
How to: Sharing a bathroom can be like peak hour, and it's no fun trying to paint your nails leaning on the toilet, so why not set up another area somewhere else in the home. Create a day spa vibe with a clean colour palette and beautiful feminine accessories such as fragranced soaps, jars filled with bath salts, candles and fluffy towels all make a difference!

Space 5: Reading Refuge
She-space style: A cosy chair with good lighting to relax and read.
How to: Arrange your reading spot that allows natural light in for the day as well as being well-lit for the evening (such as a table or floor lamp). Snuggle it up with comfy cushions and a textured throw. A funky side table for your cuppa and extra reading materials completes the space. A "mummy’s reading don’t disturb" sign is highly recommended!

Space 6: Nature Nook
She-space style: A designated garden station for all those little jobs you've been putting off and a seat setting to just appreciate nature. How to: Wooden benches are great for potting, planning and pondering. Dress it up with cushions that can be removed for dirtier work. Brick ledges are also perfect seats & backyard work spots.

Inspirations for She Space & Me Time

Inspirations to get started creating a space just for you to be yourself, a place to restore and revive and for some much deserved me time.

Men for too long have had their dedicated escape space – the he-shed. But it can be hard for us as women to find our very own "she space" in the home. Here are 4 practical inspirations to get started to create that me time in your home.

Step 1. Decide what you want from your she space
Before you begin, think about what the intention is for your space. What are you seeking to feel and be in this space and how do you want to use it. Do you want to:
Create a private space for meditation, yoga or reflection?
Create a space to inspire creative passions or hobbies?
Designate a shared space for connecting with others or recreation?
Creating a space for worship, rituals or other spiritual work?

Step 2: Find inspiration in what you love
Make your she space personal. Choose what tastes, sounds, smells, looks and feels good to you. Choose objects that give you energy, inspire you or help you get into the ritual of your meditation, prayer, creative or other pursuits.
Step 3: Decide where you should locate your she space
You can create your sacred space:
Where you can see it easily— a special object of meaning—across from your bed, a desk, on a bookshelf that is open and available to you.
As a small part of any room — whether it's a single meaningful object, an arrangement or an altar
Wherever you have room — if not an entire room, then a corner of a room (dividing screens are perfect for this)
In a secluded area — such as a spare room or attic/basement as long as this a space you can connect with and create your space in.
In the garden — a section just for you or inter-space which is half inside/half outside (alfresco or courtyard)

Step 4: Decide on the kinds of items you should include in your space
What items do you already own or need to have that speak to you, inspire you and moves you to spend time in this space?
• Mementos: objects that are meaningful to you
• Talismans: symbols and items of peace and inner power
• Art—your own creative works or friends, collections or pieces that speak to you
• Photographs of loved ones and special places
• Stones, shells and other nature elements collected from special places
• Candles, incense and other aromatherapy
• The five senses as colour, light, textures, patterns, water fountains, sound such as chimes and music.
• Living nature such as plants and flowers
• Personal spiritual items such as books, statutes, tarot and the like
Step 5: Use your power of intuition

She space starts with a desire within you to create something on the outside of yourself. Remember that this space is yours. Trust your intuition and lead from your heart which will show you the way to creating your own space. See where it takes you!
