Unique Feng Shui Tips To Decorate And Live Happily

By Marci Glover


The decorating aspect of the home is meant to reveal who lives inside it. As such, it should be a reflection of the dwellers' personalities. There are many concepts that exists when it comes to decorating, but the unique Feng Shui tips below will ensure proper flow and happy life. When everything is placed right and the right elements are used, people feel better within the space. It dictates how they work, how the rest, and of course, how they function as a whole.

Developed in China thousands of years ago, it shows how to balance the energy of the space. In doing so, it is meant to provide health and fortune for those who reside in the space. The direct translation means wind and water, and is based on the Taoist vision. It's about understanding the nature and that the land is filled with energy.

There are tools used to analyze this balance of energy, beginning with a compass, and an energy map. These tools are used to interpret the mysteries of the universe, and more particularly the energy around a particular home, to ensure someone can improve their lives by adding those fundamentals. Everything used within a home is measured, from colors to even clocks.

A good example in Feng Shui is the placement of a home office desk. The individual working should be facing east, which would make him or her much more productive and focused. Placing it in the opposite direction would hinder that focus and productivity. The head of the bed also plays a huge role in how a person feels during rest.

Many people believe that this concept is based on decorating with Oriental design, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Again, it's about balancing the Yin, which is feminine energy, and the Yang, which is masculine energy. More Yin comes with the addition of feminine colors and patterns.

Air-quality is another very important part of this concept. In modern days, people can purify their air using air purifiers. Another way to do this, and a more traditional and more in keeping method is to bring in purifying plants, like the snake plant. Also, work with beautiful aromas. Using essential oil diffusers or are just spraying a mixture of essential oils with water right into the air can improve the mood in the home. Be sure to open windows regularly to let in fresh air.

Make the front door able to receive positive energy. Remove any obstructions from the walkway and be sure that the address is visible. Indoors, add warm and reflective colors, ensuring a perfect color palette that would make people feel better. Do this through the use of paint and a variety of accessories, like cushions, and so on.

Remove clutter from the home. What doesn't serve you should just be removed. It hasn't been worn or used recently, throw it out, recycle it, or donate it. This is especially true when there are items that contain upsetting memories. Add a water fountain. Furniture placement is a huge part of this concept, and it should be about comfort and safety. The largest piece, regardless of the room, should be positioned in a way that it sees the door, to avoid creating that sense of vulnerability that comes with never knowing who is entering the space.
