The entrance is the first place to start when you want to create good feng shui in your home. Clearing out a space creates a place for the energy that enters your home to collect and gather. Blocking energy is one of the essential things you should not do in feng shui.

Create a visual anchor that feels good and that you see when you step through your entrance. This sets the tone for the moments that follow. Place something in the space that symbolically reflects your values, intentions, and dreams.

Finally, make sure this space is well-lit and bright. Add lighting and plants or flowers or there.

 

2. Pay Attention to the Bedroom Layout

Arranging your bedroom layout for good feng shui energy will provide you with rejuvenation as well as comfort. The main furniture piece of a bedroom is your bed and the best location of it is called the commanding position. This means that you can see the door to your bedroom when you are lying in bed, not directly in line with the bedroom door, maybe a little bit tilted.

The goal of being in a commanding position is to have an unobstructed perspective of everything happening in the room. It helps you feel calmer and more at ease because, on a subconscious level, you can be aware of anything that might be coming toward you.

3. Bedroom Color Palette

Feng shui bedroom colors should tend to be calming yet appealing. ‘The feng shui experts recommend warm, rich, earthy tones for bedroom color palettes such as copper, coral, cream, and cocoa for creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.

‘Using soft, natural colors such as light blues, greens, and lavenders also leads to a quiet, tranquil, and inviting energy in your bedroom. The addition of bright pinks and reds can create an intimate vibe; however, you can introduce these colors to accents in the form of pillows, throws, or decorative pieces.
Use a softer pink for your bedding or wall color. Otherwise, it can be too overwhelming.

4. Maximize your Productivity in the Home Office

Feng shui plays a vital role in your home office, as it helps you improve your productivity. Like a bed, your desk also needs to be in a commanding position- being in line with the door. If you don’t have the space to arrange your desk in this way, add a mirror that allows you to see the reflection of the door.

Also to make your home office more dynamic and visually interesting opt for contrasting materials, like a soft leather armchair you can sink into and pair it with a marble desk or other opposing material. Moreover, add indoor plants into the space, they improve your mental clarity.

5. Consider The Flow Of Chi In The Living Room

Living room feng shui can bring a positive atmosphere to this much-used space. The first step is to make your space clutter-free and the second is to consider your furniture layout. The question of where to place a sofa is important in feng shui and vital to the flow of energy.

In many homes, the living room sofa faces a television. In this case, you may require extra seating, like an armchair or two, to create conversation and interaction. It’s a good idea to create an alternate sitting area where two people can focus on one another, not a screen.

 

6. Focus on the Dining Area

Feng shui in the dining area can help create an atmosphere that nurtures relationships. The best place for a dining room table is in the back half of the home. Imagine drawing a line across your home halfway between the front door and the back wall. Ideally, your dining table will be behind that midline.

If it’s not possible or practical to move your dining table into the back half of the home, you can energetically bring your dining table in using a mirror. To do this, place a mirror further back in the home that is in line with your dining room table. This will reflect the table and pull it deeper into your home.

7. Introduce Metal into the Kitchen

Metal is one of the five key elements of feng shui: wood, earth, water, and fire are the others on the list. Each element has specific associations and metal is associated with clarity and precision among other things.

Incorporate the element into the kitchen to introduce these attributes. Think metal backsplash ideas, or bringing it in through the choice of cabinet handles and knobs. But white and gray as well as metallic colors can also bring the metallic element into a home and in the kitchen, you might think of using these colors to paint walls or cabinets.
