How to Build a Prayer Room

With the noise, stress and busyness of everyday life, a prayer room is a wonderful place to relax and find peace in prayer and meditation. Create a soothing atmosphere through soft colors, comfortable seating, soft music and candles that will quickly take you away from the cares of the day and into an attitude of prayer. Building your very own prayer room encourages you to seek out a time of prayer each and every day.

      Choose an empty room, preferably a quiet room away from the kitchen, playroom or other noisy areas of the house.

    • 2

      Paint the walls with a soothing color. Light blues, greens or other earthtones are especially calming.

    • 3

      Add soft, comfortable seating. Examples include plush chairs or sofas. Also, pillows placed on the ground offer additional seating and are conducive to kneeling in prayer. Place a lamp in the room to create soft lighting.
