Qi Feng Shui

Are you looking for the ultimate home design solution?

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice that promotes balance, harmony and wellbeing.
Its purpose is to create a space in which positive energy can flow freely through your home or office – so every room has its own unique sense of peace and relaxation.

Just by making small changes to the layout of your furniture and decorations, you can use Feng Shui principles to make sure all lines are kept curved instead of straight. This can help remove any negative energy from a particular area while allowing positive energy to enter unimpeded! Plus each room will have its own unique look and feel tailored just for you.

In Feng Shui, light is one of the most important elements. It is said that light brings energy and life to a space. In this blog post, we will discuss the importance of light in Feng Shui and some tips on how you can use it to improve your home or office.

Light is seen as an energy source and it helps to create a positive atmosphere, which can help us achieve our goals. In Feng Shui, light can bring balance and harmony to an environment. It helps to create a balance between the yin (dark) and yang (bright) energies in a space.

It is important to remember that a balance between natural and artificial light is key. Natural light can help to energize a space, but too much natural light can be overpowering. Try to use curtains or shades for windows or doors that let in too much direct sunlight. ♥️

One of the most important things to consider when practicing feng shui is the location of your home. You want to make sure you are surrounded by hills, mountains, and water formations, as these elements help to promote positive qi flow. If you cannot live near nature, you can create similar effects by incorporating plants and water features into your home décor. As with all things feng shui, it is important to keep an open mind and experiment until you find what works best for you.

Let's talk about ENERGIES. Part 3
Center of the apartment


The center of the apartment represents and symbolizes the relationship or family cohesion.

To give you the support you want here, symbolically declare a place that is often used by you and your loved ones as the representative center (if it is not already in the geometric center of the apartment). For example, the dining table. This should be your center of life.

– Make sure that the previous rules in parts 1 and 2 are applied here as well.

– Use plants to soften a door-window line or a long straight wall leading to the table.

– The table should be embraced by objects. The path to the chairs should be curved, not straight.

– This place should not be too crowded nor too empty of furniture.

Use it as often as you can (eat, plan, work, discuss, etc.) this constantly revitalizes this place with fresh energy.

As always, questions are very welcome!💖

Let's talk about ENERGIES. Part 2
Office space
We all know this kind of images from movies and photos.
It's impressive and looks great, but is it also good from a Feng Shui perspective?
The answer is a clear NO!
It's even worse if your desk is in the door line.

Place your desk outside the door line and with your back against a solid wall.
Make sure you have that fantastic view on one side (it's inspiring) and see the door diagonally on the other (control who comes in).
This simple rule guarantees that you can work in a concentrated and calm way.

Questions are always welcome❣️

Let's talk about ENERGIES. Part 1

But to be clear about this topic. When I speak of energies, it has absolutely nothing to do with energies in the physical sense!
It is rather a potential that is beneficial for or against a particular use of a certain place.

For example:
A door has the potential of movement. Someone could enter, right? Therefore, the door area is not the quietest place in your room. Even if the door is closed, the potential is still there.
So if you are looking for a good place for your bed, keep it away from the door line. You want your bed where the quietest potential sits, preferably with your head against a solid wall.

Let's talk about colours🌈❣️

In some Feng Shui schools (more precisely in the modern ones) colours are a big topic. In my opinion, unjustifiably so. In the classical writings colours are hardly mentioned. Nevertheless, colours have a great effect on well-being and psyche! While reds and yellows are animating and stimulating (yang colours), blues and greens are cooling and calming (yin colours). So in a red bedroom, you probably won't find the deepest sleep ;) bearing this rule in mind: If you love a colour, use it! The joy of it is certainly much stronger than the, possibly not optimal Feng Shui effect.

by the way, the undisputed master in the use of colours in the living area can be found here: https://www.okapiinteriors.com

Accentuating the wood element.

SKAN 0260, an elegant and delicate LED floor lamp by VIBIA. For me it has almost a futuristic - mystical appearance.
Very suitable for "wood" corrections especially in corners, which often seem a little dark. The number 3 stands for "Yang wood". The color black is interpreted by many Feng Shui masters as "water" which creates "wood". White is neutral. Red is unsuitable for our purposes, because red "symbolizes fire and reduces the effect of "wood".

Screens and room dividers are excellent for calming down accelerated Chi.

Door-window lines, long walls and hallways, pointed structures and separation of yin and yang areas.

Screens offer a great opportunity to thematically match the color of the walls or design of the furniture as well as the texture and subject of a wallpaper, creating a homogeneous look of your interior.

Room dividers also have fantastic acoustic properties!

Accentuating The Center.
& save the wildlife for a good Feng Shui❣️

"Schwarznase" (Black Nose) by NEESCHI is a carpet line made entirely in Switzerland by Ruckstuhl. The long, soft wool of black-nosed sheep from the Zermatt area is processed by regional partners and arrives at the manufactory as a pure natural product.

The Black Nose is a horned Valais mountain sheep closely related to the primeval sheep. Its long, muted white wool is soft, warm and consists of 85% air - ideal for the microclimate in any room.

An open, clutter-free yet accentuated center of your home supports family cohesion and the immune system, among other things.
Shapes: round for the center (Tai Ji) or square for earth element.
Colors should be earth tones, like: Ochre, brown, gray, beige, etc.

Made from a single piece of brass or steel, the elegant “Golden Bell” was created by Aino and Alvar Aalto for the interior of The Savoy Restaurant, Helsinki in 1937 and went on to be shown in the Finnish Pavilion of the Paris World Expo the same year.

Accentuating the earth element.

It's a special feeling when you think you're seeing a future classic for the first time. That's how I felt about the new armchair from deSede with the poetic name "DS-707".
Especially the red one with the fabric cover by Raf Simons has a huge urgency in my eyes.

Cubic shape - earth
Color: beige - earth
Color: red - fire ( produces) earth

The Ark vase by Normarchitects

The Ark vase is a result of the fascination for architectural elements - staircases, archways and the rhythm and repetitive aspect of classical architecture. It represents the beauty of the architectural detail as individual archetypes, while still maintaining a functional purpose as an accessory. Combining the refinement of local craftsmanship and the raw materiality of thick-walled porcelain with a crystal glass insert, the vase has his own sculptural identity and can be displayed in various ways. Designed for @originmade. #softminimalism #normarchitects
