A mom cave is the place where the woman who nurtures everyone goes to nurture herself, said Elaine Griffin, New York City interior designer and author of “Design Rules: The Insider’s Guide to Becoming Your Own Decorator.” She coined the term mom cave with HomeGoods. (It’s really a woman cave but mom cave sounded better, she said.)…

Laura Scott, 49, a mom of two in Satellite Beach, said when she and her husband built their home seven years ago, a mom cave was a requirement. He had his big office. Her retreat has a desktop computer, couch, television and a meditation area.

Even when she’s paying bills, she burns incense and puts on her crystal salt lamp. “It makes it a lot easier and a lot nicer.”
