There are many aspects of feng shui home decorating, all of which are
important to create better movement of the 'qi' or energy in your home.
This energy which is often referred to as a 'life force' can easily
become stagnant within a home and have a negative impact on the
residents. A simple way to solve this problem is to redecorate the home
in a way that will tackle the bad energy and promote the 'qi' to flow
freely. There are many effective ways of decorating that will have a
positive influence, finding the right combination is key.
The first way to tackle the bad 'qi' is to tackle the clutter. Most of
us accumulate way too much junk and are not willing to let go of
anything, resulting in a home that is filled with clutter. A home that
is full of clutter is a reflection of a life that is cluttered as well.
Getting rid of unnecessary objects in your home is a very important
first step, it is also sometimes the hardest. Go through each room of
your house and sort through everything you have. Get rid of anything you
don't need or want. There might be some things that you might not want
to part with, but don't necessarily belong in that particular room,
simply put them in storage somewhere.
Next, you will have to depend on the bagua to map out areas of individual rooms or your entire home and locate the corners that pertain to the different aspects of your life. As soon as you figure this out, decide on the areas of your life that you would like to improve and use home decorations to make that happen. You can use colors related to the area of your life that needs improving in the specified corner or throughout the home. Furniture is often the thing that gets in the way of free flowing 'qi', if this is the case with the furniture in your rooms, simply rearrange them according to feng shui guidelines.
