Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice that focuses on harmonizing individuals with their surrounding environment. When applied to home decorating, it can create spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also bring positive energy into the home. Below, we answer five frequently asked questions about incorporating Feng Shui into your home decor.
1. What is Feng Shui in home decorating?
Feng Shui in home decorating involves arranging furniture and decor in a way that promotes good energy flow and improves the overall balance of your living space. It emphasizes the use of natural elements, decluttered spaces, and a balanced layout to improve the chi (energy flow) of your home.
