Having a separate space for meditation can be helpful for many people. It is just to setup the “right background”.
People’s gati can be in one or more of the following five:
The five mental faculties (indriya) are saddha (faith), viriya (effort), sati (mindfulness), samadhi (concentration), and panna (wisdom); see, “Panca Indriya and Panca Bala – Five Faculties and Five Powers“.
Each person has one dominant and others to varying degrees. I would say having a meditation space could be really beneficial to those with dominant saddha the most.
Here is another possibly useful post that I just found on the web:”Create A Meditation Space in Your Home“.
