Feng Shui Decorating Tips

Everyone wants a beautifully decorated home for display and also to feel warm and loved when they come back from a hard days work. The colours red, green and blue are very important in Chinese living. A lighter colour sobers the passion, where as extreme darker shades can be depressing and annoying.

Your living room: The living room furniture should not have sharp bends or corners. Its desirable not have too many knick knacks of tiny decorating items, as eventually they will form clutter and stop Chi from moving freely; also keeping paintings that denote loneliness, violence fear or solitude. Having a large hall makes Chi move very fast.Don’t have too many metal appliances, remotes, wires all in visible area; keep them in a cabinet hidden from view. A warm fireplace, a warm earthly shade rug on the floor, beautiful votive candles, few good books, and a water arrangement be in fountain, aquarium or float is very harmonious to any guest. Do not use too stark combinations of curtain; have warm lighting, not too bright to the eyes, few cushions in colours that synchronize with the wall colour of curtains.

Your bedroom: Ideally the bedroom should be at the back of the house with no strong energy. Wherever your bed is placed you should be able to see the door of the room, and should not see a sleeping image of yours in any mirror in the room. Keep only a single book that you are reading on the bed side table.

Keep clothes nicely folded and kept inside cupboards. Do not stack too many items under the bed as that gives restless sleep at night. For inviting romance in your life, paint the room in shades of pink or keep more objects of pink in your room. Nice candles and items in pairs, like decorative statues and beautiful masks are ideal and so are keeping your head towards a wall while sleeping.
