Say ‘No’ to chaos
Stop confusion, negativity, stress, anxiety, and bring in clarity, balance, wellbeing, prosperity. Declutter and organize. Smart storage is key in a functional and visually pleasing place.
Liberate yourself from the energetic shackles of junk and mess.
Respect yourself: you deserve a harmonious space around you that helps, not hinders you. Make sure all systems are in good working order. Plumbing, electricity, heating, venting… Safety comes first. Repair or change what does not work. Nothing should aggravate you, no leaks, clogs, broken parts, dysfunctional appliances. All should be working like a well-oiled machine, so you can focus on the important things, like quality time with your loved ones while enjoying your nest.
Feng Shui hint:
Maintenance does not only mean regular repairing, decluttering, cleaning, but energetic cleansing and blessing ceremonies as well.
Keep only what is special
Create a sanctuary where you can rest and recharge, and that will support the authentic you.
Objects of art, artifacts, statement pieces, sacred power objects, inspirational/ spiritual books, memorabilia, good luck symbols. Meaningful, cherished, heartwarming.
The familiar with a pinch of surprise.
Feng Shui hint:
Do not go overboard with the quantity.
Go natural
Bringing nature inside (directly or indirectly) is vital for our physical, mental, emotional, spiritual wellbeing.
A huge interior design trend for 2021, natural materials and textures are safe, inviting, and better quality.
Delighting our senses means going beyond the visual and bringing in dimension. Warm wood, sleek metal, elegant stone, rustic brick, chic leather, colored glass, simple cotton, rich velvet, gorgeous silk, cozy wool, exotic grass-cloth, unusual gemstones, fiery feathers, fun shells. The possibilities are endless.
Regularities of forms/ patterns repeat at different scales (called fractals) in nature. They invoke the beauty of creation, that is why they reduce stress in us.
Plants and flowers naturally filter and humidify the air. They improve our mood, concentration, productivity.
Pets move the energy around, give us joy, lower our stress level.
Feng Shui hint:
Consciously create the balance of the Five Elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) in your home, so you can harness the best energies for you.

Color your world
Color changes how we experience the atmosphere of a certain space. It is not only about treating ourselves visually. Color is life force.
Natural colors- whites, beige, yellows, greens, greys, browns, clays, taupe, black- are visually relaxing.
A major trend for 2021, neutrals are stable backdrops for bold or whimsical design elements.
Navy blue (a special pick for next year) is also a neutral color according to some designers.
You can play around with lighter colors for a spacious and fresh feeling, and darker colors for an intense and cozy vibe.
Feng Shui hint:
Increase vitality by applying Five Elements Colors (green, red, yellow, white, black) or the Seven Rainbow Colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple).
Heal with sunlight
Sunlight has healing power: it boosts our energy, balances hormones, improves circulation, makes us productive. And it is a natural disinfectant. Let it in as much as possible.
Feng Shui hint:
Full spectrum lights imitate natural light.
Breathe
Comfortable temperature indoors is as crucial to our wellbeing, as clean air.
To purify the air:
- vacuum clean often
- have plants
- install good ventilation
- keep a salt lamp around
- light beeswax candles
- enjoy essential oils as effective remedies for body-mind-spirit.
Feng Shui hint:
Pick the specific essential oil(s) for the desired result(s). Scent can become an interior design element.

Tune into high vibrations
Digital sabbaticals are priceless when it comes to being mindful about the noise you produce.
What vibration do you choose to envelop yourself in?
Playing high vibrational music and sounding wind chimes can help in breaking down blocks and attracting auspicious new flow into your life.
Nature sounds (birdsong, sounds of the rainforest and waterfalls) are incredibly relaxing.
Feng Shui hint:
Hang quality metal wind chimes for best results.
Raise your own vibration
Your own energy becomes an essential part of your experience in a space.
What energy do you emanate through your thoughts, emotions, the impressions you take in?
Regretting the past and worrying about the future simply drain your valuable energy. Be in the NOW moment.
Give gratitude.
Surprise yourself (and the world) by awakening your dormant talents.
Brainstorm, plan.
Visualize good things coming into your life.
Act towards your dreams and goals. Act ‘As if’.

Remember that!
Feng Shui hint:
Your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual state and the energy of your environment interact and influence each other constantly.
Elevating your habitat energetically will accelerate your progress in every field of life.
Create a home that you love, and that loves and nurtures you.
Bless your nest with a loving heart.
