By now, most of us have heard the term Feng Shui. In fact, these two words are often overused (and even misused). When applied correctly, however, this system is an ancient Chinese practice that can bring positive energy, peace and balance to any space. For example, a slight shift in the placement of your living room furniture can improve the energy flow and thus, create harmony in your home. What's more, the colors and fabrics in your living room can add to the overall balance of the area.
Apply a few Feng Shui tips to your family room and its furniture, and enjoy a happier and healthier home-life altogether. Go ahead-there's no harm in trying!
Clear the Clutter
Remember the old days when your mother scolded you to clean up your mess? Well, Mom was (deep breath) right. Clutter disrupts the overall flow of your room and contributes to a chaotic and disorderly environment. As the saying goes, there's a place for everything and everything in its place. If your living room is small and crowded, consider clearing out unnecessary pieces of living room furniture and buying containers to keep the room organized and clutter-free. The place where you and your family are going to spend such a tremendous part of your time shouldn't be crammed with wall-to-wall furniture that blocks the area's natural flow. Keep it simple-less is more. Opening up the space helps create a Feng Shui environment that is peaceful and relaxing.
Placement of Living Room Furniture
Avoid placing sofas and chairs directly in line with the door, as this interrupts the natural energy exchange of the room. Moreover, the back of a sofa or chair should never face a door, and living room furniture is best when it is arranged in a circle. Chi plays an important role in a family room. Considered the life force of any room, chi is either enhanced or disrupted depending on the placement of living room furniture. When there is a negative flow of chi within a person's home, his or her mood can become negatively altered, and the likelihood getting ill is much greater.
Accessorize-Feng Shui Style!
Accessories and design elements can spruce up your family room and furniture. Fortunately, many accessories can improve the energy flow of your space, provided they are positioned correctly. Mirrors should be hung so that no one's head is cropped, and look at what the mirror is reflecting: A mirror should reflect whatever you would like to multiply in your life. Plants are an ideal Feng Shui remedy, as they promote luck, add vigor to the livingroom, and absorb any additional water. Other accessories, such as crystals and wind chimes, help strengthen areas that are weak and in need of balance.
If you want to transform your living room into a feng shui space, start by thinking about how you can optimize your living room furniture and accessories so that chi flows freely and positive energy abounds. Soon you'll be reaping the benefits of a Feng Shui abode.
