tips to feng shui your home

Dress them but you dont need anything heavy You can do sheers No one wants to feel exposed here

If you watch people walk into a waiting room or a restaurant they choose a place where they feel safewith their backs to the wall Its nice to let dinner guests sit with a wall behind them as opposed to an open doorway or windows

A nice big mirror reflecting the table is said to double the abundance and bring good fortune

They can do all kinds of tricks like recirculate energy and enhance natural light They draw attention to what they reflect so if a mirror has an unpleasant view move it Hang mirrors high enough that seated guests arent stuck looking at themselves

Its best to have an interplay of masculine and feminine details

For example a bed that feels solid but sumptuous maybe a wood bed frame that has an upholstered headboard Or gorgeous silk drapes paired with a straight roman shade This contrast ensures that the room feels balanced: energized yet restful

Ideally the head of the bed is on the wall farthest from the door but not directly across from it Feet pointing directly out the door is known as the coffin position because its how the dead are removed in China A sidewall is also OKbut no matter what make sure you have a clear view of the door

Put a settee or a high bench at the end of the bed thats slightly taller than the mattress or place an upholstered screen between the foot of the bed and the entry to shift the energy

Its OK for kids But for adults leave space on both sides Think about how both people feel in the room Each should have adequate lighting and easy access to the bed without climbing over the other person If youre single and looking for a partner leaving space on both sides of the bed is energetically beneficial

Its a combination of safety with an enveloping bed; coziness with soft materials; and symmetry with table lamps and nightstands that create a bookend effect The bed feels like a little room within a room
