Cut clutter
Turn your hectic home into the ultimate soothing space with these simple feng shui tips from Janice Sugita, author of The Feng Shui Equation.
"Remove anything that causes you stressful thoughts," Sugita says. Do keep a few items that make you smile, like treasured photos.
Add watercolors
Certain hues bring on calm: Blue attracts creativity and prosperity, and green creates a feeling of new life in a room, Sugita says.
Embrace space
An overstuffed room can actually make you feel tense, so be sure to leave about 21/2 feet of walking space around the furniture.
Invite nature indoors
Open blinds to let in natural light, and place plants around the room: "Plants bring new life, growth, and oxygen to a space," Sugita says.
Balance it out
Love your glass coffee table? Pair it with something cozy, like a plush sofa. Softer elements in the room bring comfort; harder elements provide stability.
Feng Shui Tips to Turn Your Bedroom Into a Retreat
Feeling drained? Your home furnishings and layout can greatly affect your sleep and energy, says Jayme Barrett, author of Feng Shui Your Life. The bedroom should be for sleep and sex only (and not for work or stressful situations), but that doesn't mean you can't add personal touches to make it more comfortable. Here, her suggestions for a more peaceful space.
