Simplify in 2024 with the Principles of Feng Shui

After the hectic holiday season, January is a great time to re-think your current state of being. Once all the seasonal décor is packed away, you might feel invigorated to take a look at your interior design and create a new space that ensures a better piece of mind and allows for better concentration and productivity.

While many think that Feng Shui is only an interior design and space planning motif, that is quite the contrary. Feng Shui is a part of a wider Taoist philosophy that discusses how an individual can better harmonize with their environment. These principles can be applied to your interior décor to give your home a more balanced flow and better energy.

Our design team at Royal Furniture and Design is excited to share with you some ways you can practice Feng Shui in your interior design to create a better flow and exchange of energy in your home with space planning and decor solutions, like new window treatments from Hunter Douglas.

What to Know About Feng Shui

When people think of Feng Shui, they think of ch’i or qi, which refers to the concept of life force or energy. In terms of interior design, good Feng Shui is involves creating a space that is in balance and allows for better flow of energy.

Just like in many philosophies, there are different schools of Feng Shui. Each school has different ways that they plan space in maps called “bagua,” which translates in English to “eight areas.” Each of these areas are tied to physical locations in the home and relate to different aspects of one’s life, like wealth, health, family, and knowledge—and each of these aspects feature corresponding elements like colors one incorporates for good Feng Shui practice.

In Feng Shui, the energy in one’s home flows in through the front door and exits through the windows. One basic rule of Feng Shui is to allow for an uncluttered path to allows for free and comfortable movement throughout the space.

Part of the process includes decluttering objects so that only the things you need, use, and cherish remain. In Feng Shui, the spot in a room farthest diagonal from the door is called the commanding position and may determine where you place significant objects like beds, sofa, or desks. Arrange the furniture in a style that allows for easy movement from one area to the next. This may require eliminating certain pieces of smaller furniture so all pathways are clear.

Feng Shui Window Coverings

In Feng Shui, keeping your windows clean and allowing opportunities for natural light to filter into your home throughout the day supplies the home with positive energy. Being able to close your window treatments for privacy at night is also good Feng Shui, as open windows at night is considered to be a sign of bad luck.

 

The sleek design and innovative options available across our selection of Hunter Douglas window treatments can create good Feng Shui with the right selections.

We recommend sheer shades because they allow for diffused light during the day and can close at night for absolute privacy.

  • Luminette® Sheer Panels are a great choice for wide windows and sliding glad or patio doors. Available in over 80 fabric choices and color combinations, these sheer shades offer drapery-like curves and pleats in a light-weight fabrication perfect for the Florida Keys.

Hunter Douglas Roller Shades are an excellent match for good Feng Shui. Unlike some other window treatments, when roller shades are completely rolled up, they virtually disappear, leaving your windows wide open to gorgeous views of the outdoors—and the good flow of positive energy.

  • Designer Solar Shades are perfect for sun-drenched rooms as they curb harsh UV rays while preserving your view of the natural world. You can select from over 130 fabric and color choices to fit any design style or to go with your Feng Shui goals.
  • Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades are an understated alternative to solar shades. They come in over 70 natural fabrics and colors with refined organic materials like cotton, tweed, and silk fabrics.
