My boyfriend is really passionate about the idea of incorporating a Zen garden into our future home. He loves the calming ritual of raking sand and the aesthetic of bonsai trees and rocks. While we have the budget to create something special, we live in a major metropolitan city, so outdoor space isn’t likely to be an option.
He’s floated some creative ideas, like a conversation pit that integrates a Zen garden or even a large coffee table with a built-in Zen garden feature. I haven’t seen anything quite like this before, and I’m curious if anyone here has come across similar designs or attempted something like it.
How practical do you think an indoor Zen garden could be? And how do you keep it from looking out of place or, worse, tacky? I’d love to hear your thoughts or see any examples!
