Transform your Nashville home into a peaceful sanctuary with simple feng shui techniques. If your space feels off due to unfinished projects or cluttered corners, these easy adjustments can refresh your home's energy. No need for extensive renovations or deep knowledge of feng shui—just follow these three tips to rejuvenate your living space.
1. Focus on the Front Entrance
What do you see when you step into your home? Is it open, bright and inviting? You come home every day through the same front door—it's important that what you come home to lifts your spirits. The front door and entryway is a key feng shui area of the home. It is the main conduit for new energy and opportunities that support your family.
Get the energy moving: Clear away any clutter and items that may be stopping the door from opening fully, or prevents you from being able walk easily in and out of the home.
Feng Shui Tip: Place a symbol of prosperity to 'kiss' the new energy that comes into the home. Try a fresh bouquet, something red or a bowl of colorful fruit on a table or console just inside the front door.
2. Clean Your Windows
Windows are the eyes of your home. Windows can help a home breathe fully and allow in much-needed sunlight. The number, position and size of windows can influence the flow of energy (we call this energy chi). Cleaning your windows and frames will kick-start the energy and help it flow smoothly. Cleaning the mirrors in your home with intention will ensure these reflective surfaces can function and move energy around the space. Being able to see clearly into mirrors, and through windows, helps you see what lies ahead and gives you more clarity in your life.
Get the energy moving: Clean your windows with a non-toxic cleaner.
Feng Shui Tip: Open up the blinds and let the sunlight in! Invest in good quality window treatments so you can control the light coming into your space.
3. Brighten a Forgotten Corner
Have you ever walked into a room and felt the energy just wasn't moving? It felt neglected and lifeless. Or maybe you have a corner in your living room or family room that has been abandoned or forgotten. A dark, lifeless corner of the home is an invitation for stale energy to rest.
Get the energy moving: Sweeping out and dusting lonely corners.
Feng Shui Tip: In feng shui we believe that certain areas of the home connect with parts of our lives. A dark, lifeless corner is an opportunity to kick start a dull part of your life. Try adding a healthy plant (one that thrives in lower light like a peace lily) or a floor lamp to that forgotten corner.
