Feng Shui decor: ideas and tips for bringing harmony into your home and living better

Feng Shui is an Eastern discipline of Chinese origin that aims to support traditional architecture in designing your home and choosing its furnishings. Feng Shui literally means "wind" (Feng) and "water" (Shui). The aim of this discipline is to help people attune themselves to the space they live in, creating harmony between inside and outside, between emotions and home. In this new Pixtury guide, we'll explain the main features of Feng Shui, its benefits and a few useful tips for getting in tune with your surroundings. Throughout the article, we'll show you some art photos you can turn into modern pictures, perfect for your new Feng Shui decor. Walls need to be decorated the right way too!

According to the principles of Feng Shui, the arrangement of furniture should take into account the presence of magnetic and energy fields. The wellbeing of whoever lives in a space should drive every choice of furnishing. Choosing to follow the principles of Feng Shui means living in relaxation and harmony in your own home: a tidy, pleasant space is restful and has a positive effect on your inner state.

Feng Shui decor: colours

Thinking of changing the colour of your walls? Think carefully about the shades you choose for each room: each one has its own characteristics and functions. Green or blue are perfect for the bedroom because they encourage relaxation and help you sleep. You'll feel more rested and in a better mood! Warm, natural colours are ideal for the living room, traditionally the family's meeting place: it's where everyone gathers once or several times a day and where guests and friends are welcomed.

Breakfast is a very important moment, because it marks the start of a new day and it's good to start off on the right foot. Which colours should you choose for the kitchen?

Living better in your spaces: the importance of the sofa and bed

The arrangement of furniture is very important in Feng Shui. The sofa should face the front door, so that anyone coming into the house feels welcomed. It should also be placed with its back against the wall, to give whoever sits on it a sense of protection and calm. The bed should be positioned with its head against a solid wall without windows. Sleep quality is very important for a good mood and peace of mind, so the position of the bed plays a key role. In addition, the door should be out of the sleeper's line of sight so they can relax. We advise avoiding mirrors in the bedroom, as they can disturb sleep and cause unease. If you need a mirror, you can put one on the inside of the wardrobe door. Here are some art images for relaxing landscape pictures you can use in your bedroom.

Feng Shui decor tips: the role of nature

For home furnishings, this Eastern discipline recommends natural materials such as wood, stone and metal. Wooden floors create continuity between the outdoors and the inside of the house. Feng Shui therefore advises against plastic materials, which risk robbing the space of the harmony we're seeking. As for the garden and vegetable patch, these spaces should always be well kept and tidy. Avoid dead leaves and neglected plants: a tidy garden conveys positive feelings and contributes to the inner wellbeing of those who live there. Conversely, a garden or vegetable patch left untended conveys negative feelings and unease. Naturally, plants indoors or on the balcony should receive the same care.
