It can be very easy to inundate a small apartment in furniture, accessories, and accent pieces, in addition to colors and shapes; while the goal may to to give your apartment a sense of individuality, the end result is sometimes clutter. Feng shui decor is about balance, harmony, and beauty, so a cluttered chaos of possessions jammed into a small space cannot achieve feng shui in any sense of the word. Using feng shui style without overwhelming your apartment is still feasible, and all elements can and should still be represented if you do things the right way and make sense of what you are looking for and where it can be found.
Making Little Things Count
In order to decorate using feng shui style, you do not have to purchase big-ticket items to represent each element and bagua in each room, regardless of how much space you have. In fact, having a lot of big items in each room could never help you achieve harmony and balance in a small space, since it would add more to the feeling of chaos. The key is to make use of what you have, maximizing the potential in each room, and learn ways to represent the elements in an equal and balanced but still small way.
Choose small items to make big statements, such as those with eye-popping colors, or other factors that make guests say, Wow! You want people to notice the little things in the room, but people do not have to be able to identify each bagua in every room. As long as you know that all the elements are adequately represented, the positive energy will flow like it is supposed to and your apartment will have balance, order, and the type of chi that makes life more peaceful and prosperous. Use color, shape, patterns, prints, pictures, furniture, and accessories to work together, never against each other, and you will quickly find that everything adds up to a complete feng shui apartment.
Focal Points are Essential
Just like in a big space, the focal points in the room are what make it special and attractive to the eye. With great choices for focal points, you maximize the space that you have, even when that space is small or compact. Use your resources to find ways to make the space look bigger, from organizational tools and storage options to color and shape techniques for the walls and ceilings. Achieve beauty through balance, and balance through making the right choices for an apartment space.
Keeping things tidy will also help you make the most of each focal point throughout your apartment, and the cleaner things are the more likely it is that people will notice the focal points. Choose the right focal points for the space that you have, by doing research and discovering your apartment`s hidden potential, and you will create a beautiful and harmonious feng shui style in each room of the apartment. Focal points are what make your home memorable, and they help with a feng shui decor as well, so make the most of each room`s most attractive features.
