Re-energize your home Create harmony and balance in any home with the power of Feng Shui  Image courtesy Simpson Door Want to add a little Feng Shui to your humdrum home? Not sure if you just pronounced the ancient Chinese art form correctly? Whether you're just unsure where to put that loveseat or are trying to store seasonal décor, there's a Feng Shui solution waiting for you. (By the way, it's pronounced Fuhng Shwey.) 1. Owner of Chicago-based Feng Shui Design, Pam Tollefson advises not to store anything underneath furniture, so chi can circulate around the room freely. "You don't want stuck energy," Tollefson says. "Also, it just looks messy." 2. The door is the "mouth" or "gateway" for chi, or energy says Reiko Gomez, owner of Reiko Feng Shui Interior Design based in New York City. Gomez, whose expertise was featured in an episode of "Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane," says keep the doorway clear so energy doesn't get blocked. 3. Avoid bright colors for your bedroom, keep it neutral. "Most people want romance in the bedroom and red is the associated color, but don't paint your bedroom walls red. It's over kill. Most people can't sleep," says Gomez. "A bedroom should feel relaxing and calming. Use colors in accents in a rug, pillow or other small details." |
