Feng Shui Decoration Tips

Feng Shui Bedroom

noreply@blogger.com (interior) — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 10:31:00 +0000

In the bedroom, you should relax and rest. In the words of the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer: "Dream for all people is the same as the factory for hours." But, of course, night's sleep lasts a little longer. One third of our lives we spend in the bedroom.

This is our secret headquarters. Ideally, the bedroom should be located as far from the entrance to the apartment or house, from the kitchen or bathroom. If the bedroom and the kitchen has an adjacent wall, it may mean that food plays a big role too. The bedroom next to the bath brings anxiety, especially when we are asleep at the wall, behind which are the water pipes.
In any other room mirrors play a leading role as a tool for energy management, but not in the bedroom. And for good reason. In this room the first thing we need peace, not constant movement, of course, except for good ventilation of the bedroom before sleep. In traditional feng shui on mirror reads as follows: during sleep the soul leaves the human body and saw myself in the mirror, frightened. For our readers who are probably thinking: "Oh, my soul is not so black, give a rational explanation. The mirror there to reflect, and it happens all the time, even if we do not look at him. This means that the mirror constantly "radiates", and that state power does not rest-stops us from sleeping. So that your bed should not stand in the area of the mirror. Therefore, a wardrobe for the bedroom is not good.
Ideal cases in which the mirror hung on the inside as it was still our forefathers. If you are in the bedroom is still worth a wardrobe or bed can not be rearranged in another location, there may be such solutions:

Bed
This - the center of the bedroom. Some consultants provide on this matter two councils, which require necessarily follow, otherwise the consultants do not guarantee couples a happy and healthy:
A married couple should sleep in one continuous mat, or separation and divorce is inevitable.
Beds should move in a direction favorable for the pair. If the spouses have different favorable direction, it is best to sleep in different bedrooms.
Now, under item 1: back pain have long been nation-wide disease. In this regard, today Orthopedists urge to sleep on individual mattresses, designed for a certain weight and body position during sleep.

2. We close the window blinds at night, near the bed set the night table with rounded corners or close the angle of the towel.
Summary sheet pretty good it may bring a couple and cover the gap between the mattresses.
According to paragraph 2: the spouses, for many years sleeping in one bed, accustomed to this and want to feel each other close at night, can not be forcibly separated. Will they look in a favorable direction - is of secondary importance. Favorable trends are a plus when everyone else is in harmony. Only then can they, figuratively speaking, are the "cream" over the rest of the cake.
Traditional feng shui says that his legs in any case should not be at the door. This posture - the position of the coffin "- meant that sleeping soon" will put forward their feet "from the premises. And this advice in our analysis is not a priority. On the contrary: we must see from the bed door and lie on the "energy highway", that is, between the window and door.

Left: Here lie dormant in the middle of "energy highway".

Right: The night the curtains should be closed.
In contrast, unfavorably, if the door is visible right from the bed. This rule was widely distributed in Europe, at least in the homes of wealthy people. Those who reclined in bed, would thus avoid the situation where a servant brings host a morning tea and sees him undressed. Those who recognize themselves in this situation, we can recommend a screen dividing the room, because we suspect that your bedroom has the size, it is allowing to fit into it this pieces of furniture.
Practical advice.
Beds should not stand close to the window. Traffic on the street can have a negative impact on our sleep. A man is best left to lie to, if necessary, he could protect his woman more powerful right hand. Bedding can be colored, the color of the personal element. However, it should avoid bright colors, especially Yang-accented, for example, bright red color. Colourful clothes and flashy graphics may lead to insomnia.

From left: those who sleep there, lie in a draft on the "energy highway".

Right: we are harmonizing the situation, rearranging the bed so that spouses can see out of bed the door, and close the plant.
Reminder: Bedroom
Do not sleep under a transverse beam, otherwise you'll fall asleep with the feeling that the beam is "cut off the" you in my dreams. Zadrapiruyte beam cloth fabric or lie parallel to the beam. Royal Solution: Just make a canopy over the bed.
Room fountain or a poster with a view of the waterfall would be inappropriate in the bedroom, because they are a stimulating effect on the kidneys and bladder.
Massive picture frames or hanging cabinets directly over the heads of sleeping too, have an adverse impact, similar to the transverse beam.
Reading lamp should be placed next to the bed, not the back and no overhead.
Water mattresses and blankets are electrically source of electromagnetic fields, which prolonged exposure can cause disease.
The bedroom should be as small as possible appliances. Do not put next to the bed halogen lamps for reading, and clock radios. Not recommended as beds and mattresses with electronic regulation.
Avoid in the bedroom of the metal in any form.
If you're lying next to the "correct" the wall in terms of a bedroom, but behind the wall is Electric boilers, refrigerator or freezer, forget the rules of Feng Shui and move the bed. The electromagnetic radiation passes through any wall.

Feng Shui Kitchen

noreply@blogger.com (interior) — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 10:26:00 +0000

The kitchen in the house symbolizes the most powerful Yang. Here the cook and often there is to it, and eat here with family members drink coffee, you can get yogurt from the refrigerator and make yourself a sandwich.

Some classic works of Feng Shui believe kitchen "unfavorable" room. This can be explained by the fact that sometimes when dealing with boiling water or hot food can not do without the small and large domestic troubles. Ideally, the kitchen should be on the south-east. This area is considered the best, as the wind blows from this direction, could inflate and maintain a fire in a large oven. Probably, therefore to the South-East are trigram "Wind".
From a modern point of view, too reasonable to stove and dishwasher did not stand beside each other ("Water extinguishes fire"). However, opening fire, except for gas stoves, are long gone, but the couple - washer and electric - generates electrical noise.
Feng Shui kitchen
Practical advice.
If this neighborhood can not be changed, at least Glue a mirror film between these devices or hang on the wall between the stove and sink a wooden spoon. This way you create a symbolic division between counterparties - Water and Fire, introducing an element between the intermediate tree. The cook or the cook at work must always keep in sight the door. The only way to guarantee that some attention will not always be distracted by what is happening behind.

Overhead cabinets over the work areas are unfavorable because they symbolize the severity and, moreover, send hidden arrows. Where you have a lot of messing about, preparing food, of hanging cabinets should be abandoned. So-called open kitchens gaining increasing popularity. In our time, when the family is common only for the joint food, this decision is quite logical. These dishes are also recommended in terms of Feng Shui, because they support the communication and family unity. However, care should be taken to cooking odors do not spread through the whole house. After starting the drawing must be properly ventilate the apartment, as with the smell of the outside shall be made and oxygen.
Practical advice.
Attach above the sink (dishwasher), a red silk ribbon. It should prevent the outflow of money (because of the open drain). For this reason, closed after cooking drain hole plug.
In classical Feng Shui in the kitchen is always in a zone of wealth raised pot with rice, and whole family always made sure that there was always rice. And this was the reason: supply of rice - a rice symbolized wealth - should be inexhaustible.

Practical advice.
We also love rice. But we are at this place put salt, because in our culture, salt is an ancient symbol of wealth. It seems possible to put in the forefront of our Western tradition.
Kitchens with walls of blue unfavorable. Color used previously in order to protect stocks from pests. Blue light dims the kitchen and reduces the activity of the digestive system, because the digestive organs - stomach and spleen - are linked with the element Earth. However, those who want to lose weight may have a blue plates. This color therapy reduces appetite!
Practical advice.
If, in preparing food, you're standing back to the door, it would be beneficial to put a mirror over the stove, which, in addition, optically doubles the amount of food that symbolizes abundance.
Do not place the dishwasher next to the fridge. This means an excess of the element water, which can symbolically extinguish the fire board. In reality, in such cases are often trouble the water.
Reminder: kitchen
Choose cabinets and tables with rounded corners to avoid the hidden arrows and accidents.
Litter in any case not be put into the kitchen. Cat toilet and cooking - are incompatible.
Do not leave a note on knives, forks and other sharp objects. Remember, not only about the "hidden arrow", but also about the very real risk of injury, especially for young children.
Regularly check their stocks of products. You will find that acceptable shelf life of many products have long expired. And it also blocks the energy!

Feng Shui Bathroom

noreply@blogger.com (interior) — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 09:00:00 +0000

Bathroom and toilet in terms of classical Feng Shui is a very problematic area apartments. The reasons for this lie in the history of China.

Precious mandarins have a very peculiar habit regulate their digestion: they sat in a stretcher and ordered his servants to include himself in the bosom of nature or built specifically for them toilet. Thus the house had not been "defiled.

But from the standpoint of modern Feng Shui in these areas, there are some features that can not be assessed as positive: a toilet is, first and foremost, "hole" in the floor of the house, through which energy leaves the house. Therefore, the most famous commandment Feng Shui says: "Close the lid of the toilet!" We would like to add that to our culture, this rule is not new. Out of courtesy to all who use the toilet, the toilet seat should be closed.

Where, however, there arose negligence in the form of permanent open toilet lid? Partially to blame television and advertising. Turn on the TV-ka, and soon you run into an ecstatic housewife who spends a great pride in the presentation of his shiny toilet! And this picture is blatant demonstration toilets for decades entrenched in the minds of people. Every housewife with an open toilet lids wants to prove that she has absolutely everything is absolutely clean! In addition, you should, in principle, to remember that close to not only the toilet seat, but the bathroom door. In this way you prevent the outflow of Qi.

If, as often happens, guest toilet is located near the front door, most of the energy will be immediately washed away, not energized apartment.

Practical advice.
Place the crystal on the outside toilet door. For this purpose, there are semi-circular crystals that stick to the door and neutralize the influence of the toilet, as well as further raise the level of Qi. Put this in "the adopted child of the architect" mirror to optically enlarge a crowded room.

In most apartments and houses that we analyzed, shower, bath, washbasin and toilet are located in the same room. Here we must take action to view does not fall immediately on the toilet. Even the towel can hide the toilet from view.

If possible, bathroom and toilet must be away from the entrance to the house or apartment. Remember that if you build a new house, because feng shui says that the guests are taken home with the impression that they saw the first and last - at the meeting and when parting. And if the toilet is located near the front door, then remember this and not the rest of your tastefully furnished apartment.

Feng Shui living room

noreply@blogger.com (interior) — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 08:53:00 +0000

Evening room comes alive. In this room, family members meet and tell each other about their small everyday adventures. Therefore, the living room, we can label as a room for meetings and communication. However, there is "face" different temperaments, or the energy of family members, often in the full sense of the word.
Feng Shui living room
Practical advice. Organize this room, especially in harmony, so that everyone felt comfortable here. The table can be based on a favorite tablecloth mother on the wall to hang his daughter in a beautiful picture frame or booties worn by children in infancy, and in a glass bowl put a particularly beautiful and valuable stones from the collection of minerals, the father.

Where is the apartment is the best place for family? The strongest in the energy space can be found if we enter into the room through the front door and follow the flow of Qi to where he'll lead. There should establish a table or couch. Think that does not necessarily put in the center of the room TV, as in this case, the likelihood is high that flickering box will always be in the spotlight, and any attempt at conversation between family members will be doomed to no luck.

Practical advice. Locate the cabinet in which to place all that often collects in a "mess hall": from magazines about chess. Arrange upholstered furniture and chairs so that they would possibly lined the walls. There must be visible not only to the door, but also painting, sculpture, or a bouquet of flowers, that is something that pleases the eye. If the chair is in the middle of the room, slide it to the wall or set him high plant, which "protect" your back. However, this plant should not have sharp leaves, sending into space "hidden arrows".

Be careful not to overload the room. A small number of beautiful furniture leaves enough free space so that there could meet the life-giving. High massive closets and cabinets, walls give the impression of gravity and violate the harmony, especially if they stand along one wall of the room. On the floor in front of the cozy corner or under the table should ideally be based on a large round rug. It brings together family members and encourages communication. U-shaped soft corners better than the L-shaped: the man sitting on the shortest side of the L-shaped sofa can feel like a stranger on the wearing of the rest, because everyone is looking past him, with no one spoke.

Install the lamps so that the light did not hit in the eye. An open fireplace can help create coziness in the room, provided that they use regularly. However, if the fireplace in the room is just decoration, or even an imitation of this fire, he ceases to be a donor of Chi. In this case, you can compensate for the loss of Qi through the chimney fire, putting it inside the plant.

Feng Shui for Child Room - Feng Shui

Difficulties in organizing the nursery according to the requirements of Fan Shui usually has when it is inhabited by two children, often raznopolovi.

The option of two beds, one above the other is not recommended by Fen Shui, because the upper bed pressing the aura of a child who sleeps below. Upper bed of the child does begin to charge. Offer opportunities to set a single correct placement of the beds - at an angle to the walls. This is the most sheltered place with the relaxed energy.

Moreover, green is the middle of the visible spectrum of light and submit balance and harmony. The girl is necessary to strengthen the element Metal, therefore I have chosen nikilirani legs and furniture handles.

Feng Shui is a form of interior design dating from ancient times. For some people Feng Shui is interior design. There are certainly many common ideas and themes to both Feng Shui decorating and ‘ordinary’ interior design.

Feng Shui started in China – although it is commonly seen as a Japanese art form as well. In more recent years, Feng Shui has become known and used worldwide.

Literally, ‘Feng Shui’ means ‘wind and water’. The idea is that the interaction between these two elements creates an ‘energy’ or ‘chi’. This idea of ‘energy’ or ‘chi’ is the concept behind the whole Feng Shui ideal.

There are energies or ‘chi’s’ inside you. These are said to be centred in special ‘energy-centres’ around the body – called ‘chakras’.

There are also energies or ‘chi’s’ in all parts of the environment around you, especially in your home. Your own energy is connected to and interacts with the energies around you.

This is why Feng Shui looks at the energy or ‘chi’ inside your home, to make sure that the energy inside your home is positive and will only have a positive effect on you while you are in there.

In fact, Feng Shui is not just limited to your home – you can use Feng Shui in your work place, garden or anywhere in your life – it is just that the home is the most important place – as you spend so much time there, and sleep there too.

Decorating and Feng Shui centres around the energies of ‘yin’ and ‘yang’. Yin is a peaceful, calm energy which makes you feel relaxed. Yang is a lively, active energy, which makes you feel more stimulated and active.

Feng Shui decorating trends to focus on how changes in your home affect the person living in, or using, the space – rather than on how your space just ‘looks’.

Feng Shui and Furniture Arrangement

noreply@blogger.com (interior) — Fri, 29 May 2009 19:30:00 +0000

Feng shui is popular, but is it right for you? Deciding on the style of furniture that will ultimately furnish your room can be quite an undertaking. With so many styles, colors, and fabrics available, it makes your decision that much harder.

Feng Shui Furniture ArrangementFeng Shui Furniture Arrangement

Once you have an idea as to what style you are interested in, decide on how many pieces will work within the space.

Sometimes, adding too much furniture will make the room look cluttered and uncomfortable.

Less is more. Measure the space and draw out the room, along with the furniture that you are considering to give you a visual idea.

Also, try to make allowances for other things, such as floor lamps, statues, a magazine rack, plants, a water feature, and an area rug.
Feng Shui Dining Room

Dining Room Feng Shui Furniture

The way furniture is arranged should play to the focal point of the room. For instance, if the fireplace is the center piece of the room, arrange furniture in a manner that directs the attention to the fireplace.

Place the larger pieces of furniture at least eight inches from the wall. This adds dimension to the room, interest, and a sense of spaciousness. If possible, avoid placing furniture in areas that block access to the room.

feng-shui-bedroomAlthough Feng Shui decorating may not work for everyone, it places emphasis on creating positive energy in a manner that matters to you in order to attract abundance and wealth.

Feng Shui literally means “wind water” and is part of an ancient Chinese philosophy of nature.

It is the Chinese art of placing objects in patterns of yin and yang and the flow of chi that have positive and negative effects.

It teaches us how the spaces in our home can be designed and rearranged following the principles in order to supply us with the right balance and harmony.

One of the most important concepts is the Bagua energy map that is shaped like an octagon. Bagua is a tool we can use to determine each living or working space.

This idea divides any space into nine areas, with each area corresponding to a different part of your life.

feng-shuiThe nine areas that correspond to the Bagua are:

prosperity
fame
reputation
love and relationships
family
health
creativity and children
knowledge and skills
helpful people
travel, and career.

Feng Shui and Furniture Arrangement
Furthermore, Feng Shui contains five main elements that should be kept in mind when harmonizing our environment:

water
wood
fire
earth
metal

Each of these elements moves in a different manner and makes the energy of the environment differ.

The term “chi” represents the energy that is always changing and moving, and relies on the five elements.

Feng Shui examines the way the chi moves and behaves as an invisible force that decides the kind of energy that objects and everything that is around us contain.

So then what does Feng Shui decorating encompass?

It’s about utilizing the space in your home or office effectively in order to attract and keep the chi in. To give you an example, the manner in which we position our desk can determine the harmony we feel within that space and affect factors, such as our ability to concentrate when working in that space.

Furthermore, a Feng Shui office entrance should face an open area creating a bright hall effect. The use of mirrors can be used in an office to good effect.

feng-shui-bagua-mapAlso, placing a desk with your back against the window should be avoided.

An office desk should ideally face the door at an angle with your back to the wall for support.

Living Room Feng Shui

noreply@blogger.com (interior) — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 13:54:00 +0000

Feng Shui Living Room

Traditional Feng Shui Living Room

Living room Feng Shui is one of the best ways for balancing the energies in your house. Living room is one room of the house where all the nine elements of Bagua feng shui can be implemented. When one takes a close look at the living room we find a large number of possibilities for decorating it as well as bringing positive energy inside the house. Right from the wall colors, furniture, plants to living room decorations everything plays an important role in balancing the Chi and Yang in the house. So let’s take a look at some of the basic things to harmonize the living room.
Feng Shui Furniture

Feng Shui Furniture

Position of the living room furniture plays a vital role in balancing the Feng Shui elements. The ideal position for the couches and chairs is to face the door. If that’s not possible at least don’t have its back towards the door. Seating should be such that it takes an octagonal or circular shape while the people can see the door easily without the requirement to turn around for it. Avoid pushing the furniture against walls and keep the number of seats even with enough space for the guests to move around comfortably. The living room’s main table should be clean and free of clutter, symbolizing health. Placing natural plants or flowers bring an overall feeling of positiveness and health in the room.

Mirrors

Mirrors play a very important role in Feng Shui especially for the living room. A strategically placed mirror can be of lot of uses in the living room. It can not only bring more light to a particular area of the drawing room but also reflect a symbolic element in it. Other than that mirrors makes rooms appear larger and also can be used to reflect the door from a selected spot. But remember don’t put a mirror opposite your door, as this will repel all the energy out. If your living room is small one can place a large mirror so that your living space appears larger. Keep in mind to place the mirror in a way that it doesn’t cut the reflection of your head when you are standing or sitting. You should be able to see yourself properly in the mirror.

Corners and Dark Areas

Tackling the corners of the living room can be a bit of a challenge. The best way to brighten up such areas is by adding plants or lighting elements. Put some lamps or hang your favorite painting to liven up the corners. Another simple Feng Shui tip is to put a potted plant with round leaves in this space. Never put straight or spiky leaved plants. Putting a fish bowl or an aquarium also works very well for the corners. Other than this one can also put crystal objects of different sizes to spread cosmic energy throughout the room. This would help in attracting chi that would not otherwise flow through these areas. To harmonize the living room feng shui it is important that chi is able to flow equally throughout the room.

Colors

Feng Shui living room colors should give a relaxing and comforting feel to the guests. A living room should be cozy and warm place. Having soft pastel colors on the wall works wonder. But colors are not limited to walls only. For example if you have carpets in the living room then it is very important for it to correspond to the direction of the room. If your living room is in the southeast direction then the carpet should be in violet color. And if the living room is on the east side then green is the best choice according to Feng Shui.

Paintings

Living room is the most adorned room of the house. So there are many paintings and pictures that decorate the walls. Feng Shui guides you to the different pictures having different effects in your house. Let’s take a quick look at some of them:

* Pictures of swimming fish signify longevity.
* Cascading water is a symbol of good luck.
* Paintings of lambs bring luck.
* Landscapes of sunrise, mountains or water are a symbol of hope.
* Pictures of happy and smiling people encourage positive feelings.
* Dark colored pictures bring on ill health
* Paintings based on geometrical shapes increase destructive feelings
* Excessive use of red color induces irritability.
* Paintings and pictures of wild and ferocious animals bring poor health.
Living room

Feng Shui Living room

With the modern lifestyle, living rooms have many electronic appliances placed in focal positions in the room. Television or any other metal object should never be placed in a central position in the Feng Shui living room. If there is a fireplace in the living room then it is best to have it in the center of the room as fire stimulates as well as enhances passionate living and the free flow of chi as well. Other than this, having a round clock in white and gold in the west or northwest section of the room also brings in good luck. If possible put the clock on the left side of the room and on the same wall as the main door leading into the room.

Therefore with some simple changes in arrangement and some quick fixes one can bring the positive elements of Feng Shui in the living room welcoming happy feelings and keeping conflicts at bay.

Feng Shui Kitchen

Feng Shui in kitchen is as important as in any other part of the house. Feng Shui associates the kitchen with health and prosperity, and the position of the kitchen can have a major influence on your family. One of the most elementary things to do for Feng Shui kitchen is to keep it clean and tidy as much as possible. An unkempt kitchen with stale food will do more harm than any good. So try to keep the kitchen organized as much as possible. Avoid excess of food stored away. It is not good from hygiene point of view and from Feng Shui as well.

Feng Shui kitchen lays emphasis on fresh things like organic foods, fresh fruits and vegetables etc. but remember to throw out all food that has started to decay. The next very important thing in Feng Shui kitchen is the stove. The kitchen stove should be in good working condition; otherwise it can lead to problems in financial resources. An unused stove in the kitchen signifies overlooked opportunities. So use your kitchen burner regularly, rather than doing all the cooking in the microwave only. Another great way to make your kitchen Feng Shui friendly is by hanging mirror to the stove burners so that it gives an impression of double the number of burners. This would signify double income, abundance of good food, enhanced health and better income.

Position of Feng Shui Kitchen

Balancing fire and water element is very important in the kitchen. So the stove and sink should never be parallel to each other according to Feng Shui. Also if they are directly opposite each other, it can lead to arguments and conflicts in the family. One way to balance this is by placing something green between them like a plant. A traditional Feng Shui kitchen would be triangular in shape with the fridge, sink and stove making for each point. The ideal distance between these appliances should be six to eight foot. Also if possible the cook should face the door while cooking rather than having back towards it.

Kitchen Colors

Kitchen wall colors are very important according to Feng Shui. Wall colors representing the fire element like red, pink, purple should be completely avoided in the kitchen. These colors cause disharmony and lead to arguments in the household. On the other hand colors like white, beige, light green and blue give a soothing effect.

Feng Shui Kitchen

Important Feng Shui Tips for Kitchen

* Stale food should be disposed off as soon as possible. This will prevent the loss of good Chi energy.
* Utensils should be neatly organized and easily found.
* Empty out garbage every night so that door opens to new opportunities.
* Always clean spills around the oven stove and microwave so that the chances of repeated arguments is greatly reduced.
* Avoid having the microwave and toaster near the seating area as this can lead to emotional disturbances and other problems with the family members.
* To reduce financial stress in the family sweep and mop the kitchen on a regular basis.
* Have fresh bowl of fruit in the number nine on the kitchen table for good health.
* Store your knife blades and kitchen scissors in a drawer rather than showing it as these tools can cause conflict and anxiety.

* Try to keep your kitchen containers half full most of the time as this will signify abundance of energy.

Feng Shui pronounced, as “fung shway” is a scientific approach to the principal of the different flow of energy around us. When the word is literally translated from Chinese it means “wind” and “water.” Feng Shui believes that everything around us is interconnected in some way or the other. For most of us Feng Shui is limited to wind chimes and bamboo plants with hardly any knowledge on how these elements work or where to place them.

When working on the different rooms and sections, Feng Shui plays a very important role in balancing all the elements. To start with lets look at Feng Shui with its three paths of energy and make it work for our growth and well-being.

Paths of Energy

One of the most common rules while going for Feng Shui decor is to ensure that the path of energy whether good or bad should not flow through your home. This happens when you have windows directly across each other or have doors directly in front of a window. When on one hand you have good energy flowing in your house on one day, then the next day will see bad or negative energy as well. When bad energy flows through your house, it causes bad luck and pain. Though this bad energy can definitely flow out of your house, the harm it causes is irreparable.

Feng Shui Kitchen
What is Feng Shui

Have Plenty of Windows

One of the Feng Shui elements is that when you open up a window to allow sunlight to come in, only the positive energy should flow in. To make this happen, go through the first point and see how the windows of your apartment or house are. Your window should have direct natural sunlight without any hindrance in its way.
Kitchen and Feng Shui
Kitchen acts as the foundation for the well being and health of your entire family. One way to have all positive energy flowing in is to paint your kitchen in yellow color or some other pastel shade.

Home Furniture

Placing of the furniture matters a lot in Feng Shui. Once you start arranging the furniture start working your way with the larger furnishings like the couch, bed, television, armoire etc. When placing these furniture’s make sure that you have enough space to move around without banging into anything. Ask yourself the simple question, if you require the furniture in that room or it is better suited for some other room. This will also help you remove any unnecessary clutter that is lying around.

Do away with Clutter
One of the most important elements of Feng Shui is to remove all type of dirt and clutter around you. You can’t have positive energy around you, if you are sitting in a mess. So get down to cleaning and brushing your things. Don’t overlook that messy bed or that hidden dirt behind the closet.

Feng Shui

Also try to stay away from negative and depressed people. Also take a closer look at yourself. Bad habits are equally dangerous as per Feng Shui. So if you smoke, drink excessively or don’t maintain personal hygiene then it is suggested that you change that. Once you have got rid of all the negative elements around you, Feng Shui will help you make your life simpler and better.

Feng Shui for Bedroom

The Bedroom
Preferably the bedroom should be as far as possible from the front door. According to Feng Shui, chi travels between the rooms and windows, so your bed and bedroom should not be directly in the way of this energy flow. The bedroom should always have the right temperature along with good circulation of air. Having a clutter free room is the essentials for Feng Shui. Keep your bedroom restful. To renew the chi in your bedroom, change the bed sheets regularly. Let the sheets be made of natural materials like cotton, silk etc. avoid the synthetic stuff. Also the curtains should be clean. Plants and aquariums are not for the bedroom. Keep them away from the bedroom. Electronic items like TV, computer and fitness gadgets should be kept away from the bedroom. If it is not possible, then cover them at night. Paper work and books are also not for your bedroom. Try to find another place for them. Buzzing alarms are also an absolute no. if you require alarms for getting up in the morning, then go for the softer tones.

Feng Shui Bed Placement
The bed is the primary furniture in the bedroom. So while placing your bed, position it as far away from the door as possible. Also your head or feet should never be towards the door. However make sure that the door is clearly visible from the bed. This strengthens the internal security of the people. Also it is suggested that the bed has a strong headrest. The Chi energy enters and exits the body through primarily three places, the feet, hands and the top of the skull. So having a good headboard is beneficial rather than facing the wall directly. If your bed also has bedside tables then they should have rounded edges and not the square ones. This helps in preventing the cutting chi being focused towards the occupants of the room. If two people share the bed then there should be matching side tables at either sides to give a sense of stability and protection in the relationship. Also the placement of the bed shouldn’t be up against the wall, especially if two people share the bed. Keep it at an equal distance. This is very important for the relationship. If the bed is crammed in one corner, then it gives more freedom of chi on the open side whereas the other partner feels completely pushed and stuck. The bed should also be strong and stable and not the rickety type that can fall apart at any point.

Feng Shui for Bedroom

If you want to place other furniture items around the bed then the taller ones should be placed to the left of the bed while the shorter ones go on the right. The foot of the bed should be clear according to Feng Shui so that there is clarity of vision and thought. The Feng Shui bed placement also suggests that the bed should not be below windows. If it is not possible then cover the windows with curtains at night. Mirrors should also not reflect the bed. For getting the best of the Feng Shui charms work on the southwest corner of your bedroom while the head of the bed facing the north.
