Want a feng shui home? It’s all about inviting positive energy in your home and keeping it there. Once you get the hang of it, feng shui makes practical sense. Think energy flow, clean air, and good light and you’re off to a good start.
7 Tips to a Feng Shui Home
1. Invite good energy at your front door.
If you want a feng shui home, remember the front door is used to entice good energy. If the entry way is beautiful, it welcomes good energy into your home along with possibilities and opportunities. Make sure the space outside the door is as appealing as possible. Wipe down the front door, replace burned out lights, and keep the space clean and approachable.
2. Open windows.
Open windows to ensure that the air is alive and electric with a potent life force. Open air flow is to your home what a deep cleansing breath is to your body.
3. Clean up clutter.
Air and energy flow are hindered by clutter. Get rid of clutter in your home. Clean out closets, your basement, and garage. And don’t let clutter reaccumulate in your home. Fresh feng shui expresses itself in a clean open space.
4. Make your bedroom a relaxing space.
Remove the television, computer, or any exercise equipment from your bedroom. Make sure the bedroom has good air flow because stale and polluted air promotes negative energy. Consider neutral colors in the bedroom like chocolate brown and pale white.
5. Liven up your kitchen.
In feng shui, the kitchen is the heart of the home and the center of the action. Make the space vibrant by adding fresh flowers, a bowl of fresh fruits, or a live plant. Paint the kitchen an inviting color like a warm yellow.
6. Make the bathroom a spa.
The bathroom should feel like a spa that brings peace and serenity. Consider adding a water element or candles. Keep the space warm and inviting.
7. Separate work and play.
If you have a home office, it should be separate from the rest of your home if possible. This signifies the separation of business and home life. Make sure your office gets good light and air flow.
