FENG SHUI YOUR HOME
Spring is the perfect time for a fresh start, and what better way to freshen up your life than by giving your home a good old-fashioned spring cleaning? But why stop there?
This year, instead of just decluttering your space, why not try Feng Shui-ing it?
Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice that is based on the belief that our surroundings can have a profound impact on our lives. The goal of Feng Shui is to create a harmonious environment that will in turn promote health, wealth, and happiness.
And while some people might scoff at the idea of rearranging their furniture to "improve their chi," there's no denying that a well-organised and tidy home can definitely make you feel happier and more relaxed.
So, if you're looking for ways to spruce up your space and attract some good vibes, here are some easy Feng Shui tips to get you started.
Start with the front door
The front door is considered the mouth of chi, so it's important to keep it clean and clutter-free. Make sure that your front door opens easily and that there's nothing blocking the entryway.
Also, take a look at the color of your front door. According to Feng Shui experts, red is considered to be the luckiest color when it comes to attracting good energy. So if your front door is looking a little lackluster, consider giving it a fresh coat of paint in a lucky hue.
Let there be light
Good lighting is important in any room, but it's especially important in the living room since this is typically where we entertain guests. Brighten up your space by opening up the curtains and letting in as much natural light as possible.
If you don't have large windows, consider adding some lamps or overhead lighting to make the room feel more open and inviting.
Create a conversation area
When arranging your furniture, make sure that you create a defined conversation area. This will encourage family and friends to gather together and visit instead of sitting off in separate corners of the room.
A coffee table or ottoman placed in the center of the room can help create this gathering spot. Just be sure that there's enough space around it so people can move freely and comfortably without having to climb over furniture or squeeze through tight spaces.
De-clutter regularly
One of the most important things you can do to Feng Shui your home is to keep it clean and clutter-free. Clutter not only makes your space look messy, but it can also block positive energy from flowing freely throughout your home.
So, make it a point to declutter regularly by getting rid of anything you don't need or use anymore. You can also try using storage baskets or containers to help corral small items and keep them from taking over your counters or shelves.
Feng Shui-ing your home is a great way to create a more harmonious and inviting space. Plus, a well-organised and tidy home can make you feel happier and more relaxed.
So give these easy Feng Shui tips a try if you're ready to attract some good vibes into your home!
