Feng Shui is the system for arranging your surroundings in harmony and balance with the natural world. Feng Shui means “wind and water,” in Chinese and give us a practical and easy to follow set of guidelines for decorating.
There are three Power Principles of Feng Shui: Chi – energy; The Five Elements – Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood; and the Baqua – the chart used to map influential areas of a house, room, or even the lot a house will be or is built on.
There are a variety of tools available for those who would like to incorporate Feng Shui into their lives:
Color – which adds emotion. The Five Elements are represented by colors, shapes & materials
Art – used to enhance Chi and create balance in spaces
Living plants & flowers – used to connect us with nature. Live plants can also absorb moisture in areas such as the kitchen and bathroom. The best plants to use in these two rooms are upright growing.
Water features – used for calming effect and to attract Chi
Wind Chimes – used to attract Chi
Mirrors and crystals – used to attract, or slow down and redirect Chi. Be careful to no place a mirror incorrectly as this will have the opposite effect of attracting negative energy to an inappropriate place.
Feng Shui is a great set of guiding principles for home stagers and interior decorators – and at Ballantyne Home Staging we use elements of Feng Shui with each client
