Change the Atmosphere of a Space
Whenever you want to redecorate, renovate or design your own home, you
have an amazing opportunity to create an atmosphere that really works
for you.
This is when you can go mad choosing flooring, painting walls and
selecting lighting and furniture, in this mode, feng shui is all
about making more informed choices, so every decision is taken
knowing the effect it will have upon the people living there. The
focus is solely on the occupants, rather than on the style of the home.
In one sense, this is really preventative feng shui, because rather
than trying to solve a problem using feng shui, you have a chance to
avoid doing something that will have an adverse influence on your life.
If your life is going well, you do not want to do anything to upset it.
If you are fortunate enough to be able to design your own home, you can
even specify the layout of the rooms, their proportions and the materials
with which your new house will be built. You may even be able to decide
which direction it faces, and therefore the kind of chi that will pour
into the front of your home.
Design Tips:
Special features, think through how you will bring in many special feng
shui features, such as plants, a water feature or candles. In this way
everything has its own special place in your home.
Be Flexible:
Whether your project is small or large, it is always best to make each
room as flexible as possible and to keep built-in furniture to a minimum.
For example, it is always good to have two or three options in terms of
where you van place your bed, but built-in wardrobes can soon limit this
to one. If this position turns out not to be beneficial to you, subsequent
changes can be expensive.
Try to design rooms using free-standing furniture and allow yourself the
freedom to move things around at a later date.
Consider The Materials You Will Be Using
Many modern materials can give off toxic fumes for years after you have
installed them. Try using organic paints; solid wood for flooring, surfaces
and furniture; and pure wool or cotton for fabrics; and minimize the use of
plastics.
