Already in spring cleaning mode? How about incorporating some feng shui as you clean and declutter? Feng shui is the practice of orienting the items in your home in a way that creates a positive flow of energy. While the principles can be fairly complex and unique to each home, we have a few simple ideas for how you can put it into practice in three areas of your home this spring.
Entryway
The front door is considered to be the place where chi (good energy) enters your home, so it should be open and welcoming. Trim plants that are impeding the walkway and place a table near the entry for good energy to land. And avoid having a large mirror facing the door as it can push away the chi.
Bedroom
The most important thing in the bedroom is the position of the bed. The commanding position — the place that allows you to keep command of things coming into your life — is opposite or diagonal to the door, but not in direct line with it. You also want the bed as close to the center of the room as possible, with two matching night tables and lamps, and enough space on both sides to walk around.
Kitchen
The stove should be across from the door in the commanding position and all appliances in proper working order. Because the kitchen represents fire, avoid the color red and instead choose white, blue or green for your decor. And keep a bowl of fruit or a piece of artwork on display as they signify wealth and abundance.
