The sun has come out, so like every year it's time for a proper spring cleaning. Such spring cleaning can be not only laborious, but also a nice mess. Give it order and be inspired by the Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui! You have never seen such a cleaning before.
A harmonious home full of positive energy
Feng Shui is a traditional Chinese philosophy, a teaching that deals with the relationship between man and the space in which he lives. It contains many tips on how to make your household a harmonious home full of positive energy. The teaching promises that if you are inspired by it while cleaning, not only you, but also your family will be satisfied, and visitors will always be happy to come to you. In addition, you can involve the whole family in this kind of cleaning - you teach the children to clean their rooms and they will help you with the decoration, you send your husband to the garage and the basement to take over the men's work.
Buy trash bags, cleaning products and flowers and let's get going! In spring, more than ever, it is necessary to throw out old things and make room for new ones. According to the teachings of Feng Shui, you should not have things in your apartment that no longer serve any purpose and do not even bring you good memories. With such things uncompromisingly in the trash! The same with clothes - fashionable pieces that you haven't worn for more than a year don't belong in the closet - you can take some to second-hand stores, exchange with friends or donate to charity (in special containers for used clothes), and the others away.
The modified entrance will welcome you and the visitor
Then take the cleaning products, brooms and vacuum cleaners and start cleaning. When everything is sparkling clean, put the tools away where they won't be seen. According to Feng Shui, it is important that these objects are not visible at first glance.
The entrance to the house is important. The space in front of the door should be arranged, a flowerpot with a favorite indoor flower is a good idea. Then you will look forward to coming home more and you will welcome the visitor even before you even open the door.
According to Feng Shui, it is also important to remove objects that could cross your path around the apartment.If you have small and narrow corridors, only the most important things should be on them. Take away what can be cleaned elsewhere. To increase the space, you can install mirrors in the corridors. But not opposite the entrance.
Clear your head too. Bad memories must go
Clean up your head too. Objects that remind you of negative memories, such as gifts and messages from an ex-boyfriend, must go without compromise. According to Feng Shui, any and all familiar negative energy in the house spoils harmony and destroys well-being. Just like things that don't work - watches whose hands don't go round anymore, either get it fixed or throw it away, the same goes for old phones and other devices.
Colors are also important for a harmonious home
This is the first thing you notice when you enter the room. And when else, than in the spring, to start painting the walls and buying accessories for the apartment?
To the kitchen light and warm colors like yellow and red are suitable. But watch out! Do not overdo it with red, although it is the color of wealth and happiness, some shades can be slightly aggressive and disturbing.
To the bedroom then muted, inexpressive colors are more suitable, which calm and do not disturb sleep. Here you can enjoy, for example, light blue, light green, gray or beige.
On the bathroom walls then use light, clean colors - white, blue or light green.
To the living room more earthy colors are more suitable, i.e. shades of yellow and brown. But you don't have to worry about patterns here either. You can arrange the children's room according to your child's taste.
And how about spring decoration?
According to Feng Shui, you don't have to worry about that at all. Cheerful colors and patterns, own products and purchased decorations are allowed, but everything must be in harmony with the space and there must not be too many objects. Indoor plants are literally in demand - but be careful! Do not buy cut or dried flowers. To the living room get an aquarium with fish. It evokes calm and peace and according to Feng Shui, they bring success and wealth to the household. For inner well-being, it is also not out of place to have photos of your family and ancestors developed.
