Bringing Positive Energy To Your First Home

BRINGING POSITIVE ENERGY TO YOUR FIRST HOME

For some couples, designing your first home can be quite intimidating. Facing the dilemma of furniture arrangements and choice of colors can be quite the challenge. In this article you will find inspiration in making your home an environment of love and harmony

with the help of Eastern Practices like Feng Shui.

Why are arrangements and colors important?

There are some practices and philosophies such as Feng Shui, that can be applied to the furnishing of the house to ensure well-being and harmony for those who live there. Placing the furniture in certain points of the room or in a certain way can help transfer positive energy within the environments. Similarly, the colors are vitally important because they can influence in several ways the soul of people. Choosing a yellow, red or multi-color kitchen for example can help create a stimulating and positive environment. Preferring furniture or walls in blue or green instead, assists with relaxation and balance.

The sun’s energy and the position of the rooms

Another Indian principle, Vastu Vidya, is instead a design based on the sun’s energy. The sun’s rays must “embrace” the house, therefore the part facing north-east will be the most energetic component of the apartment, while the south-west exposed part, where the sun sets, would be dedicated to rest.

The ideal position for the kitchen is the south-east corner of the house. Sink and stove, then, should not be in contact, but at a distance of at least 10 cm. The dining or living room should be positioned on the Western part with chairs and armchairs facing East and West. The color shades recommended for this space are light blue, blue or light green because they facilitate digestion. Yellow is ideal if you often receive guests.

Bedroom, mirrors and bathroom

The best location for the bedroom is to the south-west, while the position of the bed is influential. However, the Vastu Vidya does not recommend the use of mirrors reflecting the bed because they can disturb sleep. All colors are appropriate, but red and orange are the best to create a warm and sensual atmosphere. The only point not recommended for bathrooms is the north-east, the rest all go well. In this area mirrors and plants are recommended because they are of positive elements that increase the flow of energy. Lighting should instead be soft yet diffused. These are inspirations to positively stimulate energy in the house; the rest is up to your love!
