Feng Shui
Decorating
You may be familiar with the saying “as goes
our environment, so we go”, and we could assert in all truth
that this sums up
the very essence of feng
shui. This Chinese art of correct placement gravitates around
the right or harmonious usage of space that influences people's
life balance.
The focus on feng shui decorating originates
exactly in the increased awareness that we often make the wrong
choices in organizing our space.
Treaties, guides, tips, Internet pages and
lots of consultancy companies have emerged over the last
decades, assisting more and more people in the Western world in
the feng shui decorating of their homes and
offices.
There are some feng shui decorating rules that
work as the basis for furniture arrangement. Thus, in order to
enjoy great night rest, place the bed in a place from where you
can see the entrance, so as to prevent the unwelcome forces
from entering. Then, do not use mirrors next to the bed area
since this is believed to lead to a duplication of your
relationship, and you surely don't want somebody else between
you and your life partner.
Feng shui decorating allows you to correct the
eventual inadequacies in the design of the house. Over-sized
windows can be thus balanced by the proper choice of
curtains.
Feng shui decorating has vast applications in
wall painting; the colors for each room are influenced by the
personality of the people spending time in them, the function
of the room and the rest of the decor items.
Choose tranquil colors for the bedroom so that
you may suggest smoothness and comfort while creating the
perfect retreat.
Feng shui decorating for the study or the
rooms with intense activities indicates the presence of vivid
colors that stimulate imagination, creativity and accelerate
the nervous impulses and the working of the
brain.
Feng shui decorating style follows simple
harmonious lines, it is exactly the very opposite of bombastic
design.
Too many objects in a room would prevent the
natural balance in the flow of the life force, therefore, you
need to surround yourself with the functional and strictly
necessary items chosen on good taste
criteria.
Feng shui decorating is not the same with
austere house design, on the contrary, this art encourages
warmth, light, beauty in nice shapes and open spaces that do
not capture or break the energy. A neat and harmonious home
will undeniably lay its imprint on the people who live in it,
and most often improvements in all life sectors will be
noticed.
