Feng Shui Tips for Remodeling Your Home

1) The house is an
extension of your body and any alterations will have an impact on your well-being.
The different orientations of the house are associated to different body parts, as well as different life aspects such as career, children or marriage. Depending on which part of the house is being remodeled, it can affect the associated areas of the body.
2) Do not live inside your house during a major remodel.
Living within a house while it is undergoing a major remodel, exposes you to the unstable vibrations of demolition, harmful pollutants and the noise of construction. Absorbing these defeating energies can cause different negative occurrences, depending on the orientation of the house and the areas being remodeled. In most cases, your energies becomes erratic and you are prone to illness, accident, argument and financial instability.
3) Select the right time for remodeling.
In the philosophy of feng shui everything is connected, so the timing in which the remodeling takes place affects your well-being. The universal energies the house will be exposed to depend on the orientation of the house, and in which time period the remodeling takes place. Ideally, you should select a time that is favorable to you. In doing so, you will absorb positive energies to manifest positive change in your life.
4) Use promoting elements, colors and materials.
Every color and material has its own frequency that affects us subconsciously and physically. When selecting colors and materials, use those that promote you based on your birth chart.
5) Build out the missing sectors of the house.
Do not create missing sectors. If you have an L-shaped house that is missing its west sector, which is associated to your wealth and respiratory system and you find that you are having problems associated to these missing sectors, it can benefit you to extend the house so that it becomes whole, so that this area is no longer missing. Likewise, if your house is already a symmetrical square or rectangular shape, be careful not to create a wing that makes your house asymmetrical, thus creating
missing sectors. |
6) Shift aligning doors.
Doors are the mouth of the house so when two doors are aligned, it is like two mouths opposing each other. When two bedroom or office doors are aligned, it can bring conflicts between the two occupants who use these rooms. This is especially true if they have opposite energy patterns.
7) Minimize hallways.
Hallways are usually narrow spaces that are dark and have stagnant energy. Whenever possible, it is a good idea to open up a hallway with mirrors, lights or bright colors.
8) Locate the stove to promote you.
Kitchen stoves should be in your negative direction facing your positive direction. The stove represents your basic means of survival and relates to your income. It is also a fire hazard and source of pollution. Thus, on a safety level, it should not be located in the center of the house or in your positive (compatible) directions as these are the areas where you sleep and work. However, on an energetic level, directing the fire energy to your positive orientation can bring you prosperity. So, if you are doing a kitchen remodel and the stove can be moved, it benefits you to move it to a good location. The stove should not be aligned with the sink, bathroom door, or be under a bedroom where the bed is located.
9) Locate the toilets correctly.
Toilets, in which our wastes are disposed, are considered a negative energy source. When remodeling or adding a bathroom, be sure that the bathroom doors do not align with bedroom doors, beds, the main door or desks.
10) Create storage to minimize clutter.
One of the most common problems in our homes is clutter. Clutter blocks energy and makes the house’s energy stagnant. A cluttered house usually results in low energy and unfocused minds in the occupants. So, when remodeling, it is a good opportunity to get rid of unnecessary things and create sufficient storage space.
