Since we are all getting very familiar with the inside of our homes like never before, it might be a good idea to inject some positivity into it. Introducing Feng Shui! So what exactly is it? It is the ancient Chinese practice that seeks to invite positive chi into your home so that your life feels both energized and balanced, and it’s a relatively simple way to improve the vibe of your space.
Here are 7 easy-ish ways to use Feng Shui in your home right now!:
What? Well in Feng Shui, one of the most important principles is the commanding position. Essentially, this is the position of some important pieces of furniture: the bed (it represents you), the desk (it represents your career), and the stove (it represents your wealth). Though you may not be able to move your stove, it’s probably fairly easy to get your bed and desk in a better position. The main thing here is to be able to see the door when using these items—can you see it when you’re in bed or sitting at your desk? You shouldn’t be directly in line with the door, but shouldn’t have your back to it either. All this comes into play so you can receive optimal positive energy.
Don’t worry, you don’t need to add a ladder to your room but integrating some vertical shapes and lines in your home represents growth and expansion and there’s a few ways you can do this such as adding some lighting where the light travels upward. Add a tall plant to a corner to make the space feel taller. If you have the room, put in some tall bookshelves. Work with the parameters you have to create the feeling of height.
Having too much clutter around is probably not going to do your mental clarity any good, let alone your interior design scheme. In Feng Shui, clutter is believed to take up valuable space that new incoming energy needs. We recommend making a habit of cleaning up your workspace each day. Not only will it make you feel less stressed out, but it’ll also create a sense of order in such chaotic times. Plus, you’ll get a clean start each day, which should benefit your productivity. Oh and give that glass a new shimmer to maximize your sunlight, windows are considered to be the “eyes” of the home.
Doesn’t it make sense that the first place you see when you open your door is an important place to have good energy? In Feng Shui, your entryway represents the way energy enters your home and your life, so get busy decluttering! If you’ve got the space, add some plants and artwork. Do whatever you can to make the area feel inviting.
Are the most frequent routes in your home—say, from the bedroom to the bathroom—free from tripping hazards? Is there an end table you bump into every day? Think about how you move through your space and try to make the paths as clear as possible. If this inspires a major rearrange, you probably needed it. Efficiency is everything in Feng Shui, so it’s important to clear obstacles from your path and make your flow as easy as possible.
Your new life motto should be: “When in doubt, add more plants.” Plants embody life energy, so they’ll add freshness and vitality to your home.
