Clear out your home.
The first step to improving your feng shui is to clear out your home. This means getting rid of furniture you don’t use and personal items that you no longer need. Get rid of items that don’t work, like electronics or appliances. If there are any broken items or sentimental things you keep around simply because they have sentimental value but aren’t exactly pleasing to the eye, get rid of them too!
If there are too many large pieces in one room such as a large couch or table, it could be causing a blockage in energy flow in the room. Try placing smaller pieces throughout the house instead.
Declutter the entryway.
- Declutter the entryway.
- Clear out shoes, coats and other items that have been strewn across the floor. If you have an entryway table or bench, clear that too. You want to keep this area clean and tidy at all times so no one leaves their belongings there permanently—and yes, even if you’re running late for work with three kids in tow!
- Give it a fresh coat of paint. If you don’t like your current color scheme or style, consider switching it up! Changing the color of the door will instantly change its energy and make it more welcoming (especially if you go from dark to light). The same goes for any furniture in your entryway such as a bench or mirror—you can paint them white or add some new accessories (e.g., pillows) that match well with whatever new vibe you’re going for!
- Fix broken tiles on the flooring leading up into your home; otherwise they’ll attract bad luck like a magnet attracts metal shavings…yikes! This is also true of anything else potentially broken around your house: fix what needs fixing immediately before it starts causing trouble later down the line when those cracks get bigger than expected during high winds/stormy weather conditions etcetera.”
Reset your kitchen.
The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in your home. It’s where you prepare and eat food, as well as hang out with family and friends. You want to make sure it feels good to be there, so try these tips:
- Clean out the refrigerator. Get rid of any old or expired food that can attract bugs or rodents.
- Clean your oven and stovetop (not just after you use them). This keeps grease from building up on the surface which could leave stains that aren’t very flattering!
- Wipe down all of your cabinets, drawers and pantry shelves so they feel fresh when you open them up again tomorrow morning!
Rearrange your furniture.
- Move or remove any furniture that is in the way of an open and flowing feel.
One of the first areas to consider when maximizing your feng shui environment is how you arrange your furniture. You want to create a space where there’s freedom of movement, room for people to come in and out, and easy access to all areas of the home—including outlets, light switches, windows and entrances/exits. The best way to do this is by arranging furniture so that it doesn’t block doorways or paths (like having a couch directly in front of a door). Also avoid putting large objects under windows because they can obstruct natural light from entering into those areas.
Hang a mirror or two strategically.
Hanging a mirror or two strategically can really make a difference. Mirrors reflect light, making rooms seem brighter and larger. They also reflect images, which makes a room feel more open and balanced. Mirrors are also great for reflecting wealth back to you!
Get rid of any items that do not work or are broken.
It is important to get rid of any items that do not work or are broken. If you have an item that doesn’t bring you joy, then it will be a waste of space in your home and life.
You can also use this as an opportunity to let go of things that have been holding you back, such as old clothes or furniture that don’t fit anymore.
Open your windows as often as you can.
- Open your windows as often as you can.
- Fresh air is important to keep around, so make it a personal goal to open a window at least once every hour. If you have the option of opening windows throughout the day, do this whenever possible; but even if the weather isn’t cooperating with you and there’s a nip in the air, still make sure to do this when possible. Opening windows will help freshen up stale air in your home and bring in new energies that are beneficial for feng shui principles (such as movement). Also keep in mind that opening windows will help you feel more awake and alert during your daily routine!
Add some plants.
Add some plants. We all know that plants are good for us, so why not bring some into your home? They can be used to draw the energy of a room in a particular direction and give it a more positive tone. They can also help balance the energy in certain rooms, making them feel less cluttered or crowded. And lastly, they’re really pretty!
Paint a bright color on one wall in each room.
Paint a wall in each room with a bright color.
Paint only one wall in each room in order to avoid confusion. If you have multiple rooms or even an entire house, choose a color that will fit well with the rest of your decor and feel right for you. If you are painting more than one wall, make sure they are painted in the same color family so they create harmony between them and don’t clash with each other. You may also want to paint smaller rooms lighter colors and larger rooms darker colors as this gives them more energy according to feng shui principles
Invite positive energy into your home.
In order to invite positive energy into your home, first you must remove any clutter. You should make sure that your home is well lit and use natural materials in the decoration of your space. For example, you can use soft furnishings to soften the look of your home and add plants or flowers as decorations. Also, using natural lighting will help create a peaceful environment.
