⚡The Hidden Power of Feng Shui in Interior Design⚡

Feng shui is the practice of designing spaces that optimize energy flow (or chi).

Enhancing Flow, Function, and Well-Being Through Intentional Design

When redesigning your home or office, it’s easy to focus on what’s visible—colors, furniture, and finishes. But there’s a deeper, often overlooked layer, that can completely transform how your space feels and functions: feng shui.

On a recent trip to Asia, I was struck by the ever-present evidence of feng shui principles in shops, residences, and public buildings. It makes sense—places of business, where you gather your family and rest your head, and seats of power and authority. These are all places one would want to make maximizing success a key design factor.

You’ve probably heard the term before, but may not be familiar with what it means and how it applies to design thinking. Rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy, feng shui is the practice of designing spaces that optimize energy flow (or chi). Don’t worry—you don’t have to become an expert in these principles. An interior designer familiar with and experienced in these principles can thoughtfully integrate feng shui into a design plan to create harmony between you and your surroundings and elevate the look of your space. You may not be able to put your finger on how feng shui is working for you, but you’ll benefit from enhanced mood, focus, spirit, and productivity. Even ROI.

🌿 Why Feng Shui Matters in Interior Design

Feng shui isn’t about superstition or mysticism—it’s about balance, energy, and intentionality. Small design decisions can lead to big shifts in how your space supports you mentally and emotionally and improve overall performance.

Subtle Feng Shui Principles That Make a Big Impact

1. Command Position
Place beds, desks, or work stations, like stoves, in a way that allows a clear view of the door without being directly in line with it. This gives you a sense of comfort, calm, and control.

2. Unobstructed Pathways
Clear walkways are crucial for the healthy and productive flow of energy. Professional designers prioritize furniture layouts that feel open and welcoming. There is a thoughtful plan for how chi will travel through a room and either infuse you with energy or “bounce” away and be lost.

3. Balance the Five Elements
Incorporate the five feng shui elements—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water—through materials, textures, and color palettes to create harmony. The elements are utilized in a way where they will complement rather than cancel out one another.

4. Curate Curves

Chi loves curves. When considering shapes and surfaces, bring in curves to help bend and direct energy flow. Instead of hitting hard corners and dissipating, a curved sofa, coffee table, even wall will allow energy to flow and circulate more productively through your space.

5. Empowered Entryways
The front door is called the “mouth of chi.” A clean, welcoming entryway sets the tone for the entire home. Strategy choices and placement of mirrors, light, natural elements, and décor can draw energy in.

6. Energizing Lighting
Designers intentionally layer lighting (ambient, task, and accent) to activate energy, create desired mood, and promote productivity and peace.
