Personal Taste & Feng Shui

People often ask me how to incorporate their own personal tastes and likes into the
decoration and arrangement of furniture in their homes in order to maximize the benefits of good feng shui.

As with everything, your personal creativity and taste (and individual priorities) must be factored into any room design to achieve maximum results.  Otherwise you will never be happy or satisfied in the room! So the first thing I always tell people is to listen to yourself and please don’t use any paint colour, furniture arrangement or piece of art that you yourself don’t really like.  Respect your inner voice and your will find your personal chi blending with the way you decorate and arrange your rooms.

Use paint colours that appeal to you

Now here’s another important point to remember. Unless you have positive interaction with all the objects you place inside your home, they will not have as much power to actualize good luck for you.   Just imagine that you hate the colour pink, yet you know if it is used in a particular sector it attract love into your life.  My recommendation is not to use it because your dislike of the colour is related to you own auric field at some subconscious level.  So please do respect your intuition and feelings in this regard.

Your tastes will change as you age, along with your preferences for colour, furniture, and decorative objects that appeal to you.  You may want a more minimalistic modern look or a cozier feel to your home. So do take time to rearrange your room and furniture and activate your corners as often as you like.  However do keep in mind the annual and monthly flying stars – the annual cures must remain in place throughout the year and should not be moved or changed.You can find all the recommended cures and enhancers for the coming 2020 Year of the Rat in our annual Fortune & Feng Shui Horoscope Books, Almanac and Diary. You should put these in place prior to February 4, 2020 and preferably sooner (before the Lunar New Year January 25, 2020).

Personally I love to change things around and nothing makes me happier than to revitalize my rooms! This creates the beneficial movement of chi but also ensures the energy of my home never gets tired and my life never stagnates.  A very good time for a thorough cleaning and rearrangement is just before the start of the New Year.  Never forget that feng shui is all about the science of enhancing your personal space so pay attention to your inner voice and make your space your own.
