Achieving Feng Shui

By Cassia Ann Jordan

Have you ever wondered what Feng Shui really is? If you are ready to find out, you will find the answer below. Feng Shui is a way to decorate your home. You may have heard about it but never really knew how to do it. It’s a popular concept of creating a certain feeling of joy and harmony. It doesn’t mean you have to create a Zen-type of home, but it’s more of you creating the best energy for a certain space.

If you want to Feng Shui your bedroom, what are the necessary steps in order to do so? Feng Shui is different then your average home decor, but if you are looking for a special vibe from the placement of your furniture and accessories, then Feng Shui sounds right for you.

Where to start

The first thing to do is to clear all clutter. This will help clear out the old energy and provide a strong clear energy. So in this case, the less the better. With everything in its place, and no clutter to be seen, you can achieve Feng Shui. However, it’s important to keep in mind this is not the only way to do so. You must also position your furniture a certain way and allow more light to come in the room. You should also have good quality air, which is essential for good Chi.

What’s next?

After you have cleared the clutter and brought more air and light into the room, you can now map out your bagua, or energy. There are certain positions a piece of furniture can take on in order to look great however that depends on what type of furniture you will use. For example, for the North side of the room, you should use the colors blue and black, for the element of water. There are certain elements and colors to be used when trying to achieve Feng Shui.

Third Step

Your third step is to determine whether or not you have the right decorations that can be used. You may need to add or subtract from your collection to create a calm and serene purpose in your room.

After you have the necessary items, you need to figure out where to put them. With all of the colors you have and the decorations, you need to determine how to place them in order to achieve such an environment as Feng Shui. It is important to focus on the entire home, or apartment, and also focus on the specific room. You can decorate your whole house so you can have the sense of joy and harmony.

Don’t forget the flooring

You don’t want to complete the look until your flooring looks as good as the walls. A solid black area rug is something to consider or a white area rug. You want the flooring to look and feel clean and not cluttered up. Don’t set plants or anything else on the floor because it will clutter up the overall look. A simple rug on the floor is decorative enough. In the end, the look should be clean and bright; giving you a positive vibe.
