Category: Spaces

Although it might not be the most important space of a house, entryways are such a reflexion of our lifestyle and should also be considered in Feng Shui practice.

As we enter into any house or business, the first impression will gave us immediate sensations, whether good or not so good, so atractting the beneficial energy to this space could help in having a more harmonious environment.

However, in order to improve these sensations, here’s what we could do:

◻️ Check that it’s not a dark space and that it has enough light;
◻️Observe if energy is entering very fast, or too slow with many obstacles, the purpose is to flow smoothly;
◻️This is a great place to use pleasant and natural smells like organic incense, oils or candles for a more inviting atmosphere;
◻️Depending on the natural light of the space, use adequate plants and flowers, this lifts up the energy in any room.

Bringing beneficial Feng Shui energy to any kitchen, requires first of all, a good observation of the entire space.

By saying this, of course, there are more advanced studies that could go deeper in the knowledge of Feng Shui practice, nevertheless, there are some aspects that we should take a look before any advanced study and that could make an immediate impact in every kitchen.

◽️- How is the circulation of your kitchen, pay attention if it’s too tight or with obstacles on the way and try to improve this situation;

◽️- Check out your Water elements, if you are having problems with pipes or taps try to solve them as soon as possible;

◽️- Check also your fire elements like the lights and the stove, they should be functioning well with full potential;

◽️- If there’s too many objects in the kitchen, declutter as much as you can, leaving free space above the countertops for preparing your meals smoothly with no stress associated;

◽️- Having a clean kitchen is very important, this is where most of the smells and garbage come from, also preferring Eco friendly or homemade cleaning products, are great for a fresh and healthy air with no toxins,
harmful to the environment and human beings.

Regarding the social areas of the house, such as the living room and dining room, the trend today is to open these areas so that more people can gather, bringing a more inviting vibe.

Since we define these areas separately, it can be a great option for a family that likes to entertain frequently, putting the living room closer to the door and the dining room further away, for example.

Therefore, depending on how we use our social spaces, more private or more social, we can also use the practice of Feng Shui to find this balance and, for that, the position of the furniture is fundamental for a more harmonious environment.

The bed is probably one of the most relevant piece of furniture we have at home, as well as for Feng Shui practice.

Where the bed is placed and how energy flows around it, could really have a big impact in how we sleep and consequently, in our well being.

So when deciding where to place the bed, consider some important aspects first:

▪️Make sure the headboard isn’t directly beneath a window;
▪️Don’t sleep with your head or feet pointing directly at the door;
▪️Avoid sleeping beneath exposed beams;
▪️Move the bed as far away as possible from protruding corners;
▪️Avoid placing the bed between two doors, if so try to block sight of one of them.

Designing a home from scratch with Feng Shui is certainly a great experience, although a lot of study is required for Feng Shui professionals.

Not only because it combines some many important information about the placement of the new house, such as the period of time, the directions, the land, the exterior forms and landscape, the inhabitants, etc., but also because this ancient art could bring the opportunity of “tunning” the house to a more prosperous and harmonious life.

Every part of the house is carefully studied, from the front door to where to place the beds or the stove, Feng Shui practice could bring out the best inside any space, allowing energy to flow in a smooth and welcoming way.
