Industrial style interiors and Feng Shui elements.

Rusty metals and old barn woods are some of the materials that characterize this type of spaces inspired by repurposed factories from the Industrial Revolution.

The industrial home design style uses a lot of exposed architectural elements like pipes, brick, and concrete, open floor plans, and a cool, neutral color palette.

For Feng Shui practice, this type of environment has mostly metal and wood elements, that could lead to a more cold, minimalist and rough feeling.

So bringing all the other elements like water, fire and earth to the industrial interior, is the key to find balance in this type of environments.

For example, adding earth elements like natural fabrics, weathered leather or linen are great for these environments for both furniture and accents, creating a more soft and cozy experience.

The bed area in the bedroom.

For Feng Shui practice how and where we sleep has a big influence on our general well being.

So to find the best orientation or location to the bed, is different for each one of us and only advance studies could give that information with more detail, so no need to go and change your bed to the North just because you read it somewhere, start with what you can do by yourself and for better results always consider having a professional Feng Shui guidance.

Nevertheless, and accordingly to most of the experts in this matter, there are some things we can do to improve the energy of the bedroom:

▫️It’s not recommended to have something heavy above the bed, like shelves or a big heavy piece of art, this might create an unstable energy that can disturb a proper sleep;

▫️Also beneath the bed you might check if the energy is flowing in a way that is possible to clean all the dust that is usually there;

▫️If you keep objects under the bed, only bed clothing is preferable, keeping it properly organized and clean;

▫️Mirrors reflecting the bed are also not recommended;

▫️Finally, too much clutter and synthetic linens will also ruin the Feng Shui of the bedroom, most of all it should be a great place to rest and sleep, where we can recharge our energy everyday.

Spring is just outside.

Springtime and just like the flowers, we couldn’t wait to get outside again.

Outdoor spaces and gardens are also very important for Feng Shui practice, even though people often care more about the house itself.

All transformations can be observed in life, inside or outside our spaces, but the strength of the energy of the sun is more powerful than the light of a lamp.

So as fire, earth, metal, water and tree elements are always around us, we should look for them also outside and benefit from this source of energy in a more natural state.

If you have the chance of having an outdoor space, even if it’s small, don’t discard this opportunity
to find a greater balance between nature and ourselves.

Now it’s time to enjoy what this corner can do for you with these small tips:

  • A table with chairs is great to enjoy outside for meals, reading or even working;
  • A sunny area, but with some shadow so that doesn’t become too hot;
  • A rest area with comfortable pillows and seating;
  • Plants, a vegetable garden that could be grown even in pots, vertical gardens in walls are also a great solution for those who have lack of space;
  • Finally, prefer natural and recycled materials as much as possible having a more sustainable and respectful attitude towards the environment.
