4 Feng Shui tips for beginners

Let the vital energies run free and decorate your new one with the help of the Chinese theory of harmony. We’ll tell you the four most important tips on what is important.

You don’t have to be spiritual and believe in air and water spirits to blow a breath of fresh air through your new home with a few simple tricks. The ancient Chinese theory of harmony Feng Shui brings people into harmony with their surroundings through special design rules. We’ll tell you how easy it is to transform your four walls into an oasis of calm.

Free your soul

If you are looking for decoration ideas and want to design your property with the help of Feng Shui, the first step towards a harmonious home may sound strange at first. Clear out your life and part with things that you no longer need. A tidy home brings the life energy Chi to flow. You will quickly notice that you will immediately feel much more comfortable.

To ensure that the flow of energy is not interrupted, doors should always be open and passages should not be blocked by furnishing elements. This allows the chi to flow unhindered through your entire home. Don’t worry, the apartment and bathroom door can of course be closed.

In the next step, you should strictly separate your living spaces from one another. This means, for example, that your desk and laptop have no place in your bedroom. You will find no rest in your cozy box spring bed if your gaze falls on your work place before you go to sleep. Divide your life into clear areas and assign each part its own space, which is designed accordingly.

Decoration ideas for Feng Shui

Even if “less is more” is an important basic rule in Feng Suhi, you are welcome to decorate your home. However, you should adhere to a few important rules so that the life energy Chi does not stall. Above all, it is important that the decoration fits the purpose of the room. For example, don’t disturb the peace and quiet of your bedroom with bright colors.

1. Mirror

Do not use mirrors opposite the front door, as this will reflect the chi out of the apartment. Mirrors are not ideal in the bedroom either. They throw back used energies and ensure a restless sleep. In the dining and living room, on the other hand, mirrors can enhance the chi.

2. Furniture

Pay attention to organically curved shapes in your furniture, along which the chi can flow harmoniously. According to Feng Shui, a kidney-shaped table without corners and edges is better than a rectangular table in the living room.

The alignment of your furniture is also essential in Feng Shui. For example, your bed shouldn’t be between the window and the door. With seating areas, you should make sure that you never have the door behind you.

3. Light & water

In Feng Shui, light and water are important elements that give us strength and power. Let as much natural light as possible into your home through translucent blinds and curtains. Rooms that are well lit with different light sources have a harmonious effect. Especially dark and inanimate corners get an extra portion of chi. Water sources should not be missing either. How about, for example, an indoor fountain in the entrance area?

 

4. Plants

Plants strengthen the chi and should not be missing in any home. Bare corners are enhanced by lush green. Make sure, however, that your plants are always well cared for, as dead things are the enemy of chi. Dispose of dried up bouquets of flowers and do without stuffed animals and trophies as decorative elements.

 

If you stick to the simple rules of Feng Shui, you can easily bring the life energy to flow. Your new neighbors will be delighted with the positive energy in your home if you invite them to a cozy dinner soon.
