Although there are undoubted benefits to the boom in domestic hi-tech products such as iPods, laptops and HD televisions, Britons are increasingly designing their homes to stay away from them.
Less than half of Britons say they have a personal space for escaping the mass media buzz of the modern world, according to a recent YouGov poll, and 38 per cent of those who lack 'me-space' say they would like to have it.
As a result, homeowners are increasingly identifying neutral rooms where they can practise yoga, meditate or just relax with their thoughts, reports David Wilson Homes.
Ian Webb, group marketing director for the domestic design firm, said: "Whilst we are predicting a rise in quiet or mediation rooms within the home, it is important not to be prescriptive.
"We try and design our homes with the flexibility for people to adapt and use the space to suit their personal needs; so whether it is a bedroom, a yoga room or a reading room, each individual can adapt their me-space to suit their lifestyle."
The research found that the bathroom was Brits' favourite dedicated quiet space.
