FENG SHUI AT HOME

When we talk about Feng Shui, an oriental decoration comes to our mind, but it has nothing to do with a style. Actually, it's a philosophy. Feng Shui is based on finding balance or harmony and bringing positive energy to the places where we live; if you take care of your home, your home will take care of you. For this reason, it is essential to take care of the decoration of our house and, above all, to do it in a balanced way.

The decoration of a house has key points for Feng Shui: the entrance, the living room and the bedrooms are the most significant ones. A careful decoration in these three rooms will influence your well-being. So, let us give you some ideas to decorate your house according to Feng Shui.

The entrance

The hall, which is the door to our home, must give the sensation of space and luminosity; therefore, when decorating it, we will choose a light colour such as white, grey, etc. The light in the hall is essential, if it is not natural, we will use a good ceiling or table lamp. Decorate it with things that transmit positivity like flowers, photos... and some element of water (because they attract good luck). The mirrors that are placed in front of the entrance door in Feng Shui are totally forbidden, because the energy bounces and escapes. Decorative elements made with natural materials such as wicker baskets will go very well to decorate our entrance, giving it a natural and useful tone, so that nothing is in between.

The salon

The salon is another of the key Feng Shui places in our home; the energy here enters, leaves, activates, relaxes... and its where we spend the most hours a day.

Natural light, good ventilation as well as natural plants will be the basis of Feng Shui. The location of the salon is also important in this type of decoration, being the left-hand side of the entrance the best location to place our salon. As with the hall, light colors on the walls are vital for clarity and cleanliness, but you can add colorful notes to the cushions or accessories to give the philosophy of Feng Shui your own touch.

Following the unwritten rules of Feng Shui, the sofa can never be placed with its back to the front door, so the option of placing it in an L-shape against two walls will be the most optimal location. From it we must visualize our entire living room, so that the energy will flow properly; if the corners of the furniture are rounded, the better, so that it contributes to that organic and fluid environment. The materials recommended in this oriental philosophy are wood and natural fabrics, since contact with nature is fundamental.

Bedrooms

According to the oriental culture of decoration, the bedrooms should invite to rest and relaxation, and we can achieve this with fine colors and noble materials. If you include a corner for reading or relaxing you will make the bedroom a place for a full experience. Feng Shui also suggests including a scent diffuser to bring a touch of aromatherapy, activating another of our senses, and it will never hurt to create a good atmosphere.

Kitchen and bathroom

In the kitchen the most appropriate colors to paint the walls according to the principles of Feng Shui, are the neutral ones, such as white, cream, gray, discussed above, which promote warmth and tranquility.

Order and cleanliness are essential and essential to maintain balance and harmony, both in the kitchen and in the rest of the house. A clean and tidy house invites you to feel good, and to enjoy it when you get there, because it is our comfort bubble.

This oriental philosophy advises not to have too many objects in sight to avoid carrying the room, the objects that you usually use and nothing else. Fruit bowls, very present in Eastern culture, are essential to provide natural elements that energize our cuisine.

In the bathroom, when choosing the shades, choose pastel tones, preferably colours such as blue, green, pink, salmon or orange. A mirror is a must, and accessories such as candles, an essential oil diffuser etc.

To design and decorate our house based on Feng Shui, it is essential to incorporate natural plants in the kitchen, the bathroom and the rest of the house.

Tidiness and cleanliness

We emphasize this section, whether you decide to organize your house according to the Feng Shui philosophy or not. Doing a cleanse to get rid of what you don't need and remove the useless things will be the first step in getting the energy flowing properly. Remove any junk in between, as this is a basic and indispensable point. Our home has to convey tranquility, therefore order and a good cleanliness is fundamental.

Apply the Feng Shui decoration to your home and don't miss a single ounce of energy!
