The work you choose to put in your space depends on you. However, if you want your house to be an oasis Feng Shui, you may want to ignore these stranger pieces. "If it is dark, sad or scary, then it is the energy you promote in your home," saidKendra Gardner, architect, designer, andFeng Shui Expert. "Your house reflects your dreams and desires. Do you want what these images represent? If not, why encourage this energy in your home?"

This same principle applies to the use of articles such as axes and swords as decorations. "These weapons are considered to be poorly conducive and can lead to bad luck or injuries in your home," said Gardner. If you prefer more works of art shocked and it serves you, Gardner recommends keeping it outside the room and far from the places where customers would meet.

As for the elements that you need to exchange instead? "Good examples of works of art can include plants and flowers, the ocean and the lakes, as well as the waterfalls," explains Berry. "It will not only inspire growth and creativity, but also prosperity and the flow of money in the house."

Of course, your great-grandmother may have loved this scary collection of dolls, but that doesn't mean you have to do it. If an ancient or an unwanted gift is offered to you, consider rehommer it with someone who will appreciate it. "Whether they are displayed throughout the house or relegated to a storage container, these items maintain the energy of the house mired in the past," explains Berry. "It is best to get rid of unwanted family gifts, supposed treasures and antiques that have no real value to succeed." Your local auction house or your donation center will be more than happy to remove these items from your hands.

In most of the cases,Plants improve Feng Shui of your house. Unfortunately for those of us with a black thumb, this is not true with the cacti, although it is easy to take care. "These plants have points that send thorny energy to everyone in space," explains Gardner. "They serve as a protection if they were used outside, but I would avoid using them inside." She also recommends choosing plants and trees that grow down, like a weeping willow. "I love these trees and they are beautiful, but this energy is weak and encourages things to go down."AE0FCC31AE342FD3A1346EBB1F342FCB

Many spaces in our house are used for various purposes. Your dining room is your office, your living room is your daycare and, perhaps, your room is your gym. But if you can avoid this, you should. "The room is a room that evokes the game, not the job," explains Berry. "In addition, using and storing an exercise bike or a staircase climber in the boudoir will contribute to exhausting and arduous relationships." Likewise, you will want to remove technology such as televisions, laptops and tablets, which gives off too much energy and brightness. "Your room is for sleep and romance, and that's it," explains Gardner.

Unfortunately, all the greenery is not good greenery. The flowers of the past - and even of the flowers pressed to deliberately - can throw feng shui from your house. "The dried flowers are dead and it is an energy that you do not want to encourage in your home," explains Gardner. "If you have a black thumb, use false flowers instead." She says that these flower looks are almost as good as the real thing. This, in turn, will bring serenity and joy, so you can feel the true advantages of the art of Feng Shui.

Clutter is a more general concept - collections of shoes planned, outbursts of overflowing snacks and too full garbage drawers - but that's somethingWe all fight with. If your size is constant, note. "Clutter in any area blocks the flow of chi, therefore stifling creativity, good health and success," explains Intuitive Coach andFeng Shui Expert Angela Lenhardt .

A place where you want to concentrate your declining efforts is your closet. "The cupboards represent the capacity of the house to be receptive," explains Feng Shui consultant Linda Berry . "Keep them filled with articles and unused clothing, sports equipment and simply junk food reduces the energy of useful people, experiences and situations." She recommends eliminating them to be at least a third empty to lift this burden.
