Feng Shui share a mutual concept with home staging, which is to bring harmony and balance into a space; usually both include de-clutter, creating traffic flow, bringing in natural light and ensuring there is enough lighting etc. But there are many more secrets most people don’t know about Feng Shui. Let’s take a look at six Feng Shui tips most stagers don’t know but should.
1. Color:
in Feng Shui, color plays an important role. Some colors create bad Feng Shui bringing bad energy, some bring peace and good luck. For example, dark blue, purple, dark green, red, mustard yellow are all considered bad color that reduces the energy in the home; pink is a really bad color that brings more trouble to the family. On the other side, off-white series brings peace, good luck, positive energy to the family and house, light green, light orange, and natural wood does the same. The ceiling should always be in lighter color than the floor, to reflect the “light sky and heavy earth” in the nature.
2. T-joint location:
T-joint location refers to the house located at the joint point of a T shaped street. This house location is considered the worst for many reasons, such as: safety because the house is facing the coming street, a drunk driver could hit the house, higher chances for the residents to get hit when leave the house…all in all, the bad energy which can easily go through the house. This type of house location is extremely difficult to sell in certain community. A way to fight back the bad energy and reduce the bad luck is: install a large stone in the front yard, or tree, facing the street, or hand a eight-edged Bagua mirror in front of the house and facing the street.
3. Important room corners:
The two corners facing the entrance of each room usually are the financial spots. Don’t put any electric appliances at these spots, which will disturb the good energy, instead, greenery, and decorative pieces will bring good financial luck, like selling the house faster.
4. Where is the entrance door facing?
It is a bad luck if the main entrance door faces the inside staircase directly, or the dining room, or the backyard door. This type of structure will find the residents working very hard and struggling to make ends meet. An easy way to create some positive energy and add appeal is to add a large green tree or plant between the entrance and the staircase, or add a screen between the entrance and the dining room, or the backyard door to encourage chi to stay longer.
5. Location of bed:
bed should not be located under the beam, the bedroom entrance should not face a mirror, the bed should not face a mirror. Best advice for a bedroom is not to have mirror at all.
6. Art works and Decor:
Do not use landscape art in bedroom. In living room, landscape art is proper, but if the art has water in the art should run toward the inside of the house, not to the entrance door, the boat in the art should facing the house, not the door. The greenery in the house should not have any withered leaf… These all help to bring in positive energy to the house, which can help to sell it faster and bring the seller good luck. » Read more: Six Feng Shui Magic Tips Most Stagers Don’t Know
