How to create harmony in any room
For some years now, there has been a real trend towards fewer objects in the home, and the connections with well-being and, well, these ominous energies that can supposedly flow better are now known to almost everyone. So what’s the deal with feng shui? In this post, I want to share with you the art of Feng Shui decorating and show you how to create more harmony in your space with your decor.
What is Feng Shui?
Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese philosophy based on the belief that all things in the world are interconnected. This fascinating teaching states that the design of our environment has a direct influence on our life energy. By applying the principles of Feng Shui, we can optimize the energy flows in our home or workplace and create a harmonious balance between the different elements. This harmonious balance can have a positive impact on our well-being, relationships and success. By consciously designing our surroundings, we can increase our quality of life and create a harmonious atmosphere that supports and inspires us. The practice of Feng Shui thus offers us the opportunity to improve our life energy and live a full and happy life. So much for the theory.
The basics of Feng Shui
The basics of Feng Shui are the five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. These elements are present in every room and should be in a harmonious balance to ensure a good flow of energy. There are also eight bagua areas representing different areas of life, such as wealth, career, relationships, health, family, knowledge, fame and partnership. Each area has its own colors and elements that can be used to improve the flow of energy in that area.
It is important that every area in the house is carefully designed to create a harmonious environment and promote well-being in all areas of life. By applying the principles of Feng Shui, we can optimize the energy in our home to create a positive and supportive environment.
The implementation of Feng Shui in the facility
Decorating a room according to the principles of Feng Shui can go a long way. Here are some tips that you should consider:
1. order and cleanliness
A tidy and clean room is the basis for a good energy flow. Be sure to clean up regularly and organize your things well to eliminate negative energy. Also, you should either repair broken things promptly or sort them out.
2. colors and materials
Use colors and materials that match your bagua area. For example, if you want to improve the Wealth area, you should use the colors green, purple and gold and materials like silk and velvet.
3. furniture positioning
Place your furniture so that there is a harmonious flow of energy. Avoid placing furniture directly in front of doors or windows, as this can block the flow of energy.
4. light and air
Make sure your room has plenty of light and air. Open windows regularly to let in fresh air and use warm, soft lighting to create a cozy atmosphere.
5. plants and decoration
Plants and decorative elements can improve the flow of energy in a room. Use plants that purify air and decorative elements that match your bagua area.
The bagua areas
The eight bagua areas represent different areas of life and can be improved with the help of colors and elements:
Wealth (Southeast area): The Wealth area can be strengthened by using the colors green, purple, and gold, as well as materials such as silk and velvet. Symbols of wealth such as money plants or coins can also be used.
Career (North area): The career area can be supported with the colors blue and black, as well as materials such as glass and metal. A neat and well-organized workspace can also improve the energy flow in this area.
Relationships (Southwest area): The area of relationships can be strengthened by using the colors pink, red and white and materials such as cotton and linen. Couple symbols or pictures of happy couples can also be placed in this area.
Health (center area): The health area can be supported with the colors yellow and brown, as well as materials such as ceramics and stone. Plants with air purifying properties and symbols of health like healing stones can also be used.
Family (East area): The family area can be strengthened by using the colors green and brown, and materials like wood and bamboo. Family photos or symbols for family can also be placed in this area.
Knowledge (Northeast area): The area of knowledge can be supported with the colors blue and brown, as well as materials such as books and stationery. A well-organized learning or working environment can also improve the energy flow in this area.
Fame (South area): The fame area can be supported by using the colors red and orange, as well as materials such as candles and fire. Symbols of success and achievement can also be placed in this area.
Partnership (West area): The area of partnership can be strengthened with the colors white and silver, as well as materials such as metal and glass. Pictures or symbols representing love and harmony can also be placed in this area.
These descriptions are intended to serve as general guidelines; of course, it is important to consider individual needs and preferences.
