WE’RE all looking forward to a better 2021 after the challenges of 2020, so why not get started on attracting good fortune? With the start of the Chinese New Year in February, here are some tips on how to give your home (and now office or classroom!) a new look while attracting luck and positive vibes.
Declutter. Marie Kondo always says that if the objects don’t bring you joy, consider giving them away or selling them. SM’s Trash to Cash Markets every first weekend of the month in all SM Malls can be of help.
Round is sound. In Feng Shui, circles mean harmony and unity. It’s also the shape of wealth and prosperity. Attract luck and good fortune by considering circular patterns and shapes such as throw pillows, vases, tabletop ceramic balls and mirrors are great additions.
Green is In. If you’ve been planning on joining the growing number of plantitos and plantitas in the Philippines, now is the time to do so. Lush greeneries can help bring positivity to your home.
Dress up the entryway. The entryway is important if you want to invite good energy. In Feng Shui, the door area symbolizes the way energy enters your home and your life. So, be sure to keep this place tidy by adding a shoe rack, a coat stand, or decorative storage bins.
Incorporate vertical décor. Another way to bring some good energy to your home is incorporating vertical shapes and lines by adding new furniture or decorative pieces that draw the eye upward like a four-poster bed, a striking floor lamp, or floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.
Use new colors. Color can affect your mind and emotions. Some Feng Shui experts consider white, silver, yellow or gold, purple, and gray to be the lucky colors of 2021.
