Quick answer
Feng shui is about letting energy (qi) flow well through your space. Start with a clear, welcoming entrance, place your bed and desk in a "commanding position", keep the space bright, airy and tidy, and balance the Five Elements.
Five simple steps
- Entrance: keep it clear, well lit and free of clutter.
- Commanding position: see the door from your bed and desk, without being directly in line with it.
- Light and air: let in natural light, open the windows and fix anything broken.
- Declutter: in feng shui, cluttered corners are said to hold stagnant energy.
- Elements: use plants (Wood), warm light (Fire), ceramics (Earth), metal decor (Metal) and water features or blue tones (Water) in moderation.
