Because we want to feel comfortable in our own four walls, we want to create a harmonious ambience. According to experts, the Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui can bring harmony to our environment. Designing the apartment according to this philosophy should get the chi flowing. Colors, shapes, directions – every element of the furnishings plays an important role. Even the images you choose for your home can greatly influence the effect of the energy. You need to be particularly careful when choosing pictures for the bedroom and kitchen. Where we sleep and eat, everything should be charged with positive energy. The images are referred to as “Fast Feng Shui” (or “Fast Balance”). Images are the easiest way to balance and harmonize the flowing energy in the home. In today's article we will tell you which basic rules you have to follow when choosing murals according to Feng Shui.
Avoid multi-panel murals according to Feng Shui
Nowadays, modular art is very popular. According to Feng Shui, dividing a single image into 3 parts is extremely undesirable. For example, a branch of a blossoming cherry tree is a positive and fresh motif, but if you break it into three parts, the harmony is lost. However, if you like five of your most beautiful photos as oneGallery on the wallIf you want to arrange it, that's fine. This looks even better when images are connected by a theme.
Which murals according to Feng Shui in the bedroom?
Pictures hanging above the bed deserve special attention. When you dream, the brain processes the impressions of the day. That's why you should choose motifs and symbols that only evoke positive emotions and perceptions. Avoid hanging water pictures above the bed headboard as it will “wash away” your love feelings. This arrangement can mean deception and fraud.
If you have placed a mural of flowers at the headboard, there should be two flowers in the foreground. If the picture contains three flowers of the same size, it creates an impression of a love triangle - the third wheel on the wagon that can affect your relationship.
What else you should consider
Avoid solitary objects
Individual figures represent dominance of either the Yin energy (black, feminine, internal, earthly, heavy) or the Yang energy (white, male, external, heavenly, light) in the image. A mural depicting a lone semi-dry tree on a cliff is Yin. This is a bad sign according to Feng Shui and can have a negative impact on the living ambience.
Murals with Yang energy should also be avoided. These include, for example, images of streets or bridges in large cities, large streams of cars, city silhouettes, skylines. Such images only convey loneliness.
“Growth pictures” help in the relationship
If you want to make your love relationship more happy, you should choose a representation of growth, upswing or revitalization. This could be a spring landscape, for example. The birds are chirping, nature is awakening to new life, everything is blooming. It's best to avoid images of autumn landscapes that show fallen leaves and melancholy.
Feng Shui murals for rooms with windows facing an intersection
Make sure you choose the right subjects, especially if your windows face an intersection. To create a balance to the noisy world “out there”, you can hang a picture that conveys peace and harmony - for example of a beautiful waterfall. This picture will “wash away” negative external influences (however, remember that this motif is not suitable for a bedroom).
For corner rooms (including bedrooms), murals of roses, peonies or a lotus are advantageous. Traditionally, these images are seen as symbols of health, balance and happiness in love - especially the lotus.
Original paintings can cause emotional damage
You need to be careful with original paintings by different artists. It is better to only hang these in large rooms or large hallways. However, when it comes to a small room and you really want to have that canvas, it is better to hang copies of the paintings. It is not known what energy the artist brought into his work of art.
Choose images that convey “lightness of soul” rather than “unresolved problems.”
The soul needs wings, lightness and space. Dandelions, for example, look very pleasant in their simple style. Be careful with modern contemporary art. Incomprehensible images, abstract shapes and colors sometimes have a destructive power. If you want to hang pictures in the house that are difficult to understand and perceive, you should put them in the office, for example.
Do not hang photos of deceased people in your home
Photos and pictures of deceased people, whether relatives, friends or famous people (scientists, writers, artists), bring negative energy into the living environment. It's best to keep these in photo albums and not hang them on the wall.
Murals that improve financial well-being
According to the philosophy of Feng Shui, there are 5 basic elements: water, wood, fire, earth, metal. Everything that has to do with money is associated with the wood element, so images of trees and plants are perfect. The element of the East - wood - is strengthened by the element of water. Pictures that depict moving water, such as waterfalls and other water elements, including paintings with fish, fit in harmoniously.
