Do you feel like your home is taking energy away from you? Your Fengshui decor may be the one to blame... Fengshui, also spelled as two words
(Feng Shui),
can affect the flow of energy (or
chi
) in your house.
This is why choosing the right shapes and colours - or colors if you are American - will affect your life. A water fountain can do wonders in improving your feng shui decor. Not only is the sound of water soothing, but the presence of moving water increases the flow of chi. As such, you shouldn't place a water fountain in your bedroom. A living room where you entertain would be a lot better choice.

Shapes and Colours
Generally speaking, choosing the right colours and shapes is a question of personal taste. However, you should also read up more on the effects of
Colors Feng Shui here.
Have you ever experienced a different feeling simply by walking into another room in your home? Your fengshui decor or
aromatherapy
may be the reason why.
The placement of furniture and mirrors significantly affect the flow of energy. You want the energy flow to slow down in areas where you want to relax (bedroom, perhaps your living room) but you don't want it to become stagnant. Adding a living element to your fengshui decor such as a plant or pets will give a little boost to your chi while adding large pieces of furniture slows down the flow of energy.
There is also the hierarchy of the
five elements
to consider. Wood, water, earth, fire and metal are present throughout your fengshui decor. They can be represented by the element from which they are made or the shape of the objects. Like the elements themselves don't react well with each other (i.e., water extinguishes fire), the same holds true for the components and furniture in your home.
Personality
To top things off, your personality will also affect your feng shui ... Perhaps this explains why your favourite room is different from your partner's favourite room... Find out if you are
yin or yang right here.
