There are many opportunities to combat the frenetic pace of modern life through personal practice, but our exterior surroundings are nearly as important as our inner worlds when it comes to our sense of well-being. With that in mind, we should all be working towards creating quiet spaces in our homes to nurture our souls and inspire calm reflection.

Slow Living collects projects that do just this – interiors that are oriented towards simplicity, conscious consumption and the natural rhythm of things through the use of soothing color palettes, natural materials and lighting. Featuring the work of architects and interior designers from around the world who seek through their work to create environments for an unhurried life.
