PLANNING AN IDEAL HOME

Feng Shui and Interior Design to Enhance Living Environment

Home should be an escape from chaos of daily file so use all potential storage space to remove clutter and create a relaxed environment. IN BOTH FENG SHUI AND INTERIOR DESIGN, a healthy approach to space involves avoiding clutter. Too much clutter and disorder can bring not only specific health hazards, but also tension, anxiety and depression. According to Feng Shui, excess clutter disrupts the flow of energy, causing stagnation and tiredness. Creating HARMONY therefore involves good storage, and using available space creatively. From a practical point of view, it make sense to store item you use frequently in the areas where you use them.

STORAGE SOLUTIONS - Closed designed storage such as wardrobes, chests or drawer units often provide ideal storage solutions. You can put possessions away neatly, and also have quick access to things you need. Some homes, however have limited space for fitters or free standing furniture. Evaluate your home again, as there may be many places where you can install suitable storage which you have not yet consider. Think about building shelves in unusual places, tailored to fit into the wall at the side of a bay window for example, or to each side of a sash window. None of these solution will take up much floor space, yet the overall effect will be sleek and streamlined.

USING SPACE CREATIVELY as most homes contain usable space if you look for it - both overhead and under-foot. It may be practical to board over the joists in the loft, install a glazed roof light and electricity, and use this space for storing items which are not used everyday. Home should be an escape from the chaos of daily life so use all potential storage space to remove clutter and create a relaxed environment. Here are some ideas for a well ordered room :-
