How to Create Good Feng Shui in Your Home

Introduction

Feng Shui, the ancient art of arranging your home to bring good fortune, can be difficult to master. There are many different aspects that you have to consider when designing your space. From the layout of each room in relation to the rest of the house and building, to what colors should be used, Feng Shui is more than just a theory—it’s a practice full of details that can make or break its effectiveness. Luckily for those who need some guidance on how best to design their homes according to this ancient tradition, there are plenty of experts out there with tips and tricks for creating good Feng Shui in your own abode!

Brighten Up Your Entry

Brighten Up Your Entry

The entryway is the first thing your guests will see when they enter your home, and it sets the tone for the rest of their visit. To make sure it’s welcoming, brighten up this dark part of a home by installing lights or adding mirrors. Mirrors are not only an inexpensive decorating option but also help to make a space feel larger by reflecting light from other sources (like lamps). A mirror can also be used as a focal point in any room, transforming an ordinary space into something special.

If you’re on a budget and don’t want to invest in new lighting fixtures just yet, use plants instead! They’re an attractive way to fill up empty corners or add life to dark areas—and you’ll be able to enjoy them year-round too! Plants like ferns can easily grow in low light conditions so they’re perfect for those who don’t have access to adequate sunlight. Just remember: The goal is not just having greenery around; it’s making sure everyone feels comfortable at home too!

Open your windows and let fresh air into your home.

Fresh air is important in Feng Shui. If a home has poor ventilation and circulation, it will cause stagnation of chi energy, which can lead to illnesses or bad luck. Open your windows every day for 15 minutes or so, even if it’s raining outside. Make sure the window screens are clean so that negative energies don’t enter your home.

If you’re not an outdoor kind of person, open the doors instead—but be careful to keep them closed when there’s a cold wind outside! It’s also a good idea to clean and ventilate your house regularly with lavender incense sticks (they’re great for getting rid of bad smells), or by placing bowls full of water around different areas of the house so that they absorb negative chi energy from these spaces while simultaneously releasing good chi into them as well!

Pay attention to your door.

A door is the most important feng shui element in your home. It’s how energy enters and exits, so make sure it’s positioned to open properly and that it opens into the room, not just another wall. If you don’t want to move a piece of furniture to accommodate your door, consider placing something there that will block the path of negative energy. For example, if you’re using an entryway table as a coffee table for extra seating for guests, place one of those decorative frog statues on top of it so that when someone tries to walk through with their arms full of bags from shopping at Target (for example), they’ll trip over it and spill everything everywhere but not be able to get mad at you because they know how much everyone loves frogs!

Add living plants to the rooms.

If you’re interested in adding plants to your home, this is a great place to start. Plants have been shown to have a positive impact on several aspects of our lives.

First of all, they bring good energy into the room and clean the air from pollutants such as dust and mold spores. They can also help reduce stress, anxiety and depression by giving us something pleasant to look at for long periods of time. Lastly, research has shown that having plants around can make people feel more relaxed and happy—even happier than simply looking at pictures of nature!

Make sure that your kitchen is a good space to cook in.

Your kitchen is a very important room in your home, as it is where you will be preparing food for yourself and your family. You want to make sure that the space has enough counter space for you to prepare food and clean up afterwards. Your cupboards should have enough storage capacity for all of your utensils, plates, bowls and other necessities.

If possible, try to incorporate natural light into your kitchen so that the room is well lit throughout the day. If there is no way to do this without cutting down trees outside or spending too much money on electricity bills each month (you may have heard about global warming) then perhaps consider installing overhead lighting instead of using lamps or candles inside their house? It might seem like an insignificant detail but having plenty of natural light makes any environment feel more open than having none at all!

Make sure your bedroom is calm and relaxing.

The bedroom is one of the most important rooms in your house. This is where you spend most of your time at home, so it’s best to make sure that it is a calm and relaxing place. Here are some tips on how to create a good feng shui in your bedroom:

• Keep your bedroom clean and tidy. A messy room can cause stress and anxiety, which will not only affect how you feel but also affect the sleeping patterns of everyone who sleeps in that room. It’s important that you keep everything organized so that when someone comes into the room they don’t feel like they have to turn around right away because there’s too much clutter everywhere.
• Make sure it has well-lit lighting throughout the day so that there isn’t anything dark or shady hiding from sight (such as dust bunnies under furniture). If possible, try using natural light instead of artificial lights because natural light always brings about an uplifting atmosphere while artificial light tends to bring about negativity into any space since human beings have evolved over millions years with natural sunlight being present during most parts of our lives daily!

Remove sharp angles.

Sharp angles are bad for feng shui because they create an energy block. They can also cause accidents and arguments, which can trigger a negative cycle of bad luck.

To remove sharp angles from your home:

• ​Remove sharp edges on furniture and appliances by rounding them off with sandpaper or by painting them with a soft brush dipped in paint thinner or rubbing alcohol.
• ​Rearrange furniture so that it creates fewer corners and is less likely to cause harm if it falls over onto someone. If you have children, make sure that their toys don’t create dangerous hazards by keeping them away from sharp edges like table corners or fireplaces where they could get trapped inside the fireplace opening! Also try placing throw rugs underneath any furniture legs as an added measure against slipping accidents!

Get rid of your dust bunnies.

• Clean up clutter. Make sure there’s no dust buildup or cobwebs hanging around. You should be able to see through your windows without being distracted by outside objects that are in the way, like trees or buildings.
• Don’t leave clothes on the floor. If you’re going to put something down, pick it up when you’re done with it and put it away properly so that it doesn’t get dusty (or worse).
• Don’t let mail pile up on tables or counters; have a designated place for incoming mail where it can be filed and sorted later if necessary.
• Avoid keeping unused things in your house—this includes extra chairs, appliances and decorations that take up valuable space where other things could go instead—but also consider whether any of these items could serve as tools for relaxation instead (like a hammock).
• Finally: don’t let your house go to pot! If something breaks down beyond repair but won’t cost much money to fix, then don’t throw away what’s broken until you can afford new replacements; otherwise just dump those old dishes into a box somewhere out back where nobody will see them again except maybe an occasional mouse who thinks they might make good nesting material.”

Position your bed correctly.

Positioning your bed correctly is important for feng shui. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, the human body has a positive and negative side to it. The head is considered to be more yang, or masculine; the feet are considered to be more yin, or feminine. When sleeping on your back with your arms at your sides (analogous to the stance of Jesus on the cross), you should have a clear view of your bedroom door in case someone needs to get in quickly. If this is not possible because of where you placed your bed, it means that someone could find themselves trapped in an emergency situation without being able to escape as easily as they could if they were able to see their way out clearly.

If you tend toward feeling anxious while sleeping at night—and most people do—consider placing a small mirror across from where you normally lie down so that any dark shadows created by nighttime fears are reflected back onto themselves rather than projected onto themselves by some unseen party lurking outside one’s bedroom door (which would further fuel those fears).

Get enough storage space and stay organized .

Whether you’re dealing with a small apartment or a spacious house, it’s important to get enough storage space. The best way to do this is by creating systems for keeping things organized. Here are some ideas for how to create good feng shui in your home:

• Use baskets and bins. Baskets and bins are useful for storing small items that tend to be scattered all over the place (like socks). They also make it easier to find things quickly when you need them. You can keep them on shelves or use hooks or hangers near where they’re used most often—for example, hanging a laundry basket in the bathroom near where you put dirty clothes in so they stay together until wash day arrives! This helps keep towels and bathing suits from getting mixed up with clean clothes (and vice versa).
• Use shelves . Shelves can be great places for organizing books, CDs/DVDs/games, supplies (like markers), small furniture pieces like tables or chairs that don’t fit elsewhere but still take up valuable space if left lying around out of place…the possibilities are endless!
• Use drawers . Drawers aren’t just useful when you’re looking for something specific; they also give an orderly feel to any room because their contents stay neatly tucked away where they belong until needed again later on down the road.”

Conclusion

These are all practical tips that you can implement in your home. If you’re not sure where to begin, start with a good spring cleaning and then move on from there! Once you’ve made some changes and feel like your space feels better, take note of what worked best for you—whether it was rearranging furniture or adding plants—and continue those practices going forward.
