Life got you feelin' some type of way? You're not alone. Maybe it's that we're going on year three of a global pandemic, or those end-of-January doldrums, or simply the existential truth that being a human is hard. No matter the reason, many of us are seeking out spaces of solitude within our homes.
Welcome to the concept of emotional escape rooms, introduced to us by data from Pinterest's trending searches. It's becoming an increasingly common trend for people to designate areas in their living quarters for relaxation and decompression. These rooms, corners, and nooks can range in function — from spaces for zoning out to some tunes, to full-on home massage parlors — but each ultimately serves as a physical respite from the chaos of life.
