Feng Shui and your home

Feng Shui is decorating your home for calm stress free living and is all about using forms with furniture arrangements that create harmony with nature. Its using circular tables and arched doorways, arrangeing your furniutre in matched pairs or groupings of three, six or nine. It is about balance having an order without being obvious.

Feng shui is not a decorating style. Rather, it is a discipline whose guidelines are compatible with many different decorating styles.

If you are using these principals in decorating do it slowly and in small chunks at a time. Fengshui decorating really is a unique way to arrange your furnishings so that they appear to be more inviting and comfortable. I am not one to get into the whole balance or spritual sense of the word but it does have strong decorating values. For instance if you where arranging furniture with a feng shui order you would not put a couch in the center of a room with the back facing the entranceway. This would be blocking your sense of welcoming into a livingroom. This is the sort of thing that I am talking about when I mention feng shui. Start in small chunks at a time at then move to the ajoining area so that everything will flow together in the room. Move things around and then wait a day or two to see how you fell about it. What you will notice lets say in the living room is after a few days of decorating that certain things in the room will look out of place or not in harmony with what you have done.

This what you are trying to achieve. Now move to the area that catches your eye or to the part of the livingroom that seems to be out of sync or place with what you have done. Change it to balance out the area you like and then move into another section of the room. If you are trying to create a feng shui bedroom the principles are the same with only subtle differences.
