Product Description
Jagatjoti Khalsa says that sacred furnishings — like beautiful pieces sculpted by human hands from real wood, colorful textiles imbued with spirit and purpose — should be the foundation of a home's décor. Drawing inspiration from the East and utilizing a team of Indian craftspeople and artisans, Khalsa suggests simple ways to fill the home with spirit-infused decorations. Using examples from his bold work for Sharon Stone, Joely Fisher, Adrienne Brody, Shiva Rae, and others, Khalsa demonstrates how to make any living space, whether kitchen, child’s playroom, home office, or the entire house, more spiritual. Engaging text and 150 color photographs help readers imagine and implement the creative possibilities of such items as antique Chinese wagon wheels, silk bedding, Tara statues, Asian pine tables made from 300-year-old railroad ties, antique screen doors, and Kela vine bedding. Altar Your Space shows how small changes and a new perspective can make any home a true haven for personal growth and joy.

Totally changed my home April 11, 2008

8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I discovered this book at a book store in SF and while I did not think I was looking help at home the richness of the photographs and colors drew me into this book. Almost 30 minutes later, I had to purchase this book. One of those photography books in which the brilliant images bring you in but the sage and engaging writing style had me stay awake all night feeling as if this writer had opened my head and extracted everything I had ever felt but by no means could articulate or even know that I thought these things. I loved this book and with some simple changes, trials and efforts around my house, I look at my home much differently and more importantly, I feel different at home. Its promise to help me make my home feel more restorative was delivered. When I arrive home each night, it is like I have arrived at a perfect oasis. I highly recommend it.

ALTAR YOUR SPACE is a must have book! It appeals to all of your senses with its' inspiration of color, insight and possibility. I have applied the concepts the author conveys in my home; not only do I feel a sense of peace but everyone who visits feels somthing similar. This book is beautifully written and the photos are candy for the eyes. Treat your senses then give the gift of this masterpiece to someone who appreciates life.

Jagatjoti's book Altar your Space is not only visually beautiful, uplifting and inspiring-- it touches the reader beyond the mind and reaches into the Heart. With his wise and humorous anecdotes he weaves the reader through a warm, bright expansive space called Life.
This way of living involves not only extending into our space from our hearts but teaches us how to manifest peace and beauty in our homes in the way that is most natural--and uplifting-- to us. I highly recommend this book to whoever wants to discover how to connect to the Sacred in the details of Living. To those who want to honor that through the expression of beauty, Love and joy, every day, this book is a must.
Inspiring and helps you develop a relationship with your Home April 4, 2008

A very encouraging book to someone who has never taken the time to create a "home" environment. I now feel the importance to honor myself with a beautiful space to live in, but not just in an aesthetically pleasing way, but in way that is warm, comfortable and "restorative". But, I am not just encouraged to do it by the book, I have been given the tools to accomplish it. With beautiful photography and elegant instruction I found my confidence growing and my eyes opening to opportunities to create sacred spaces in my home.
Simple and Elegant April 3, 2008

This is not only a USEFUL book to help those who may be challenged in the home design/decor department, but it is an excellent source for those already accomplished. I've been more than my share of home design books over the years, and this one really does it right.
It is both SIMPLE and ELEGANT in its concept and execution and helps you to create that same elegance in your home. Perhaps the best thing about the book, is after it has helped inspired you turn an ordinary room into an elegant and even sacred space, the book itself LOOKS great out on a side table and is nice for you and guests to page through. Because the photography and design of the book is so nice, it's a great resource and an easy gift for those who want to change their environment in a simple way.
