With finals approaching, I have been researching ways to help my students through finals week and trying desperately to help them pull up any grades they can in these last few days of class. With this said I have found information about rest and meditation for stress free test taking to help improve scores. This got me thinking of the power of de-stressing and having good, designated spaces to do so. So I did a quick look into designing contemplative spaces and turns out, there is a decent amount of info out there to support calming design.

A long time ago I learned from an interior design teacher that most studio environments are gray because gray promotes creativity, something to think about when creating your own creative or study space.
