To remember a place I try to find parts of my body that correspond with parts of the space.
We often have things in common, the space and I.

Sitting in this red chair, I found that the top of the window frame is exactly the length of my lower arm if I
twist my upper body to the right,
lift the arm up with a 90 degree angle in the elbow and
hold it up horizontally,
blocking the window frame from my gaze.

What do you have in common with the space surrounding you?
Take your time, find a couple of corresponding parts.

Ps:
If you memorize these movements you can bring the space with you somewhere else.
