I’ve already had an interior designer decorate my space, how is Feng Shui different and why do I need it, too?

Feng Shui is different than interior design because it pays special attention to placement and intention. From a Feng Shui perspective, different areas of the space represent different areas of one’s life; therefore, color, elements and belongings are placed in specific areas of the space for optimal energetic flow. By using Feng Shui principles in correlation with interior design creates a wonderfully balanced space – beauty and nature combined. Feng Shui and interior design/decorating are natural alliances.

Interior design focuses on the aesthetics, trends and style while Feng Shui focuses on what the environment reveals. In some situations, Feng Shui principles can determine why things are happening in a space and offer suggestions to create a better situation through one’s environment. Go beyond aesthetics and into conscious living with Feng Shui.

Bed, desk and furniture arrangement are key fundamentals to creating a balanced space with Feng Shui. Also, Feng Shui reviews comfort and safety of a space, like in the case of a square, glass top coffee table that is pretty to look at, however, has very sharp edges that may cause injury to those living and walking near it often; Feng Shui would recommend a rounded table with soft edges. Perhaps the colors that are selected may be the latest trend, however, their frequencies may not be appropriate for certain areas of a space or may be better used in other areas.

Feng Shui balances what looks good with what is good for the space, or really what is good for the inhabitants of a space. Certainly, the latest trend, style and fashion can easily be worked into the Feng Shui of a space, but it will be worked in based on where it needs to go in regards to the natural flow of life.

Elements of Harmony can work with you and your designer/decorator to ensure that you space is beautiful and balanced!
