If you find feng shui intimidating, we understand, especially if you are first-timer. But as it turns out, it's not really that mysterious and mystical territory that people think it is. In fact, it's actually just about creating that balance and harmony between the elements in your home, more like interior designing.
Here is how home feng shui for first-timers is done according to Apartment Therapy:
Get yourself some gold
Gold in feng shui is equated to abundance - it is an element that radiates energy as well as creates confidence so keep it in mind when choosing home decors. If you want to attract wealth, you want to keep this in mind.
Freshen up
It is important that you establish a freshening ritual in moments that you feel down so you can turn the day around. Finding the time to relax and reset can go a long way to change and freshen up your whole attitude towards life. Beeswax candles, sage or lavender can do the trick in feng shui.
Use colors
Colors sure do make the world more fun. By bringing colors to your home, you create that happy and energetic vibe that creates harmony and can in turn give you a lift when you are feeling depleted.
Don't store clutter under the bed
Feng shui suggests that keeping a cluttered space under the bed prevents energy from circulating while your sleep. Your body reboots during sleep, and when the energy cannot flow freely, you can wake up not feeling rested at all. It can be a bit of a bummer storage-wise, but by keeping the space clutter-free, you avoid dragging the energy down and you will feel a lot brighter.
Bright and upward facing light
You should know about how proper lighting can make a whole lot of difference for a space, and feng shui also believes in that. Lighting, especially bright and pointing upward can enhance the energy of a space and help beat the blues during dark and gloomy days like winter.
