Homeowners are being warned to avoid popular interior trends that could bring bad energy into their homes.
The fitted furniture experts at Online-Bedrooms.co.uk have revealed which furniture and design choices are bad feng shui.
Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice that focuses on the arrangement of living spaces in order to create balance and harmony. It is believed that we can arrange our homes to enhance the positive energy flowing through them. Some even believe this can have positive effects on things like our health and money.
Nic Shacklock from Online-Bedrooms said: “We all have certain furniture choices that we love and it’s easy to be heavily influenced from what we see online too.
“Unfortunately a lot of our favourite design choices like glass tables and lots of mirrors are actually bad feng shui, meaning they disrupt the flow of energy throughout the home.
“Some people even believe bad feng shui can lead to family misunderstandings and disagreements.
“We’ve broken down some interior trends that are considered bad feng shui so people can restore positive energy in their home.”
Interior trends that are bad feng shui:
- Glass dining table
Although they can look chic and stylish, a glass dining table actually represents fragility in the family home. Instead you’ll want something more solid like wood.
- Mirrors opposite your front door
A lot of people add mirrors into their hallway to open up the space and make it appear bigger. However, it is believed that having a mirror directly opposite your door causes any good energy that may enter to bounce straight out.
- Oversized, low hanging lights
Large low hanging lights can be a great stand out feature in your home but they should never be in the bedroom. Having these above the bed can create a heavy feeling of pressure and stress when trying to sleep.
- Placing sofas or beds in front of a window
If the back of your sofa or bed is facing a window it can leave you feeling vulnerable to any negative energy that is coming from the outside. Where possible try to avoid placing furniture like this in front of the window.
- Furniture with sharp edges
Having too much furniture with sharp edges is considered bad feng shui as they create a harsh and negative energy.
- Furniture that does not lift off the ground
Ideally you want furniture like beds, sofas and cabinets to have legs that allow the furniture to sit above the ground. This is so that there is space for positive energy to flow through the home.
- One bedside cabinet
Couples should try to have a bedside cabinet each on their side of the bed to represent balance and equality in their relationship. Having one could throw this energy off and lead to one person not feeling supported.
