about human life being connected to and incorporating the environment around it. This principle has been applied to interior design for many years now, and people still swear by its ability to create flow and balance in their homes.
Here are some tips to help you create the perfect feng shui wardrobe space to better your life.
Wardrobe layout and placement
To fully embrace the feng shui principles you should focus on creating unrestricted energy flow around your room. This means creating space between your bed, doors and windows.
Wardrobes should be placed away from this path where possible.
A Bagua map can help to guide the positioning of your wardrobe. It divides a room into nine quadrants with each representing a different area in your life. You can position your wardrobe in a section you wish to enhance such as your career or love life.
Colour and material selection
If you are looking to upgrade your wardrobes then this is the perfect excuse to examine their materials. Environmentally friendly materials are a perfect match with feng shui principles. Your wardrobe interior should be as practical as possible, allowing plenty of room to store your belongings.
Colors are also an important feature to consider. Creating the right mood in your bedroom is important and colour is an easy way to do that. For example, you may want your bedroom to be a calming environment. Greens are perfect for promoting relaxation and darker shades help to promote sleep. Green is also another link to nature which is important for natural energy flow.
Normally, fire-element colors are not encouraged in bedrooms as they are too energetic and vibrant, but lilac is an exception to the rule. You could use this soft color as an accent on your wardrobes and pair it with walls of soft grey for a contemporary feel. As a shade of purple, lilac will also encourage prosperity in your life.
Maintenance and energy flow
Having a cluttered or busy home can often cause feelings of stress and overwhelm. Make it a family effort to keep common spaces free from clutter. On a personal level, you can task yourself with sorting out any clothes you leave lying around daily to reduce mess in your bedroom. This will help the energy to flow freely in your room.
The same effort can be made in your wardrobe’s interior too. You could use some wardrobe organizers to keep everything in its rightful place. Add it to your weekly chores list to keep on top of mess too. The more you organize and tidy you will find a habit forms and it’ll become less of a chore.
