Rustic country homes.

Every home has a certain style or trend, because they are in the countryside, in the city or on the beach, they also convey a lot of the vibe of their place.

Country houses tend to transmit an earthy energy, closely linked to these types of colors (brown, yellow, beige) and materials (wicker, stones, baskets).

In general, and for the practice of Feng Shui, adding other elements such as metal and wood make these environments more balanced, since water and fire are naturally present in our homes, whether in fireplaces or taps, these can be less visible in the decor.

This predominant element of country houses is capable of bringing us wonderful sensations such as comfort, calm, rootedness.

All its colors, fabrics and materials are inspiring, inviting us to live slower and more consciously, back to our earth roots.

Water Element



The representations and characteristics of the Water element can bring a wonderful feeling of freshness and tranquility to any space, whether indoors or outdoors.

For Feng Shui practice, this element is also used to bring wealth, prosperity and the flow of beneficial energy, but just like the Fire Element, it can escape our control and potentially create unwanted situations and misfortunes.

A Water element is capable of bringing prosperity, yes, but when properly enhanced and in adequate amounts, something that should not be left to chance when we have various Feng Shui methods at our disposal to prevent this.

Therefore, depending on the size and location, wonderful representations of water such as swimming pools, waterfalls, fountains, aquariums, views of the sea, lakes and rivers can definitely make a difference in any environment and make it certainly more welcoming and unique.

Blue and black are the colors that represent this element, as well as glass and undulating shapes but always try to incorporate all the other elements ensuring a more balanced flow of energy.

Indoor plants and gardening.

In recent years, we’ve seen the revival of this touch of green in houses and apartments around the world.

As this great Tree element gains more and more popularity within spaces, to maintain a good flow of energy, they must be well taken care of so that they remain strong and healthy, sick or decaying plants will be indicators of non-beneficial Feng Shui.

Interior design has a lot to gain from the magic touch of plants, as they are able to provide a cozy atmosphere, as well as being affordable and bringing any space to life.

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.

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.
