Quick TipThe best Feng Shui decorating tip I learned was to remove all items from a room before decorating.
Simple Steps for Clearing A Room- Remove all small stuff and place them in boxes.
- Remove all furniture, regardless of size. If there is no room, place the furniture at one side of the room.
- Clean the room from top to bottom. Clean the walls, floors, and windows.
- Start with the paint colors on the wall. Decide what the purpose of the room is. Choose soft colors for a balanced room and bright colors for a game room or entertaining room.
- Only return stuff to the room that has a purpose. For each item, ask what is its purpose. If it does not have a purpose, keep it in the box.
- Simple and clean is better than cluttered and overwhelming. You can always add things from the boxes at a later date.
- After you add an item to the room, just sit for a moment and feel the energy of the room. If the item brings a smile, comfort..., keep it. If the item brings aggravation, anger..., give it away and put it away in the box.
- Remove big items as well. Do not keep a piece of furniture because it was a big expense. Only keep furniture that has a purpose.
