1) Brighten Up Your Entry
This entry is the first place to start when you want to create good feng shui in your home. In feng shui, your entry represents how energy enters your home and your life. We say the front door is the “mouth of qi.” A lot of objects tend to accumulate at the front door. Start with decluttering and removing any debris. Sweep and clean up the area. Wipe down the door and shake out the door mat. Finally, make sure this space is well lit and bright. Add lighting or change the bulbs.
2) Clean Your Windows
To create good feng shui in your home, clean your windows on a regular basis. Clear, clean windows let in more sunlight. Sunlight naturally energizes and wakes us up.Therefore, our homes become more expansive, vibrant, and energetic when we let in more light. Clean windows metaphorically wake us up to see the world around us with the most color, clarity, and precision.
3) Let in Air and Light
One of the basic feng shui tips for home is to bring more airiness and freedom to your interior. Bright light is a good feature and encourages positive energy, while its absence is linked to stress, poor health and financial problems.
4) Care About the Quality of Energy
The main rule is that the arrangement of furniture should not interfere with the vital energy of chi. Instead of bulky, massive objects, it is better to apply graceful, neat shapes. Cabinets, shelves and slides should not be placed near doors or windows, as this will restrict the access of favorable flows from the outside.
5) Choose the Correct Bed Location
The bed should be in the center, not touching the wall on either side, except for the back part. A bed, as well as a desk or a stove, needs to be placed into a command position, which means you need to see the entrance when raising your head. But, be careful not to place the bed opposite the door or with a window at your back. If it is impossible in your apartment to see the door from this location, place a mirror near the bed to be able to see the entrance in it.
6) Use Plants for Adding Good Energy
Bring the outdoors in by adding flowers. Some flowers are better for feng shui based on their need for water. The more water a flower needs, the better it is for your home. You may consider a lotus, orchid, bamboo, narcissus or chrysanthemum for this purpose. It is also beneficial to place plants on top of your kitchen cabinets.
7) Keep the Path to the Front Door Clear
A lot of people are accustomed to keeping various things near the doors and windows. However, it is important to organize your home space in such a manner that you leave free space there.Keep this area clear by removing clutter.Don’t place the front and back door opposite each other as the chi energy will leave your home too fast.
8) Mirrors Matter a Lot
Applying feng shui to house design cannot be created without mirrors. With their help, you can enlarge the space you own and bring more light and air into it. Mirrors can energize a room, so they are better for the dining room than the bedroom.
9) Keep Things Clean
Naturally, according to feng shui, cleaning (especially wet cleaning) should be done as often as possible. It is necessary to take care of not only windows and open surfaces, but also the space inside cabinets, chandeliers, flowers, sofas, etc. Specialists believe that water is the best cleaning since it tends to absorb negative energy.
10) Fix All Broken Things
According to feng shui, you should get rid of all the broken things as they symbolize suffering and failures and attract problems.Without a doubt, you will find things that are just left for “better times” and are not likely to ever be used. You may also have broken things or objects that have to be repaired. If there is a leak in the lavatory, it should be fixed as, with water, positive things leave your home. Always keep the toilet seat down and its door closed.
Feng shui recommends avoiding the following:
- Broken objects and equipment
- Cluttered closets and rooms
- Blocked doors
- Dirty windows and objects
- Storage of objects under the bed.
