Include Asian Furniture in Your Feng Shui Practices

Are you looking to refresh a space in your home or office? Do you ever walk into one of your rooms and feel like something is off? Have you purchased an indoor fountain from FountainCrafters.com, but wonder where to put it? The ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui may provide some answers for these sorts of situations. Practiced for thousands of years in Asia but relatively new to the West, Feng Shui focuses on channeling energy (or ch’i) throughout the home in a way that will bring about a positive energy flow, resulting in spiritual and physical calm.

Translated “water-wind”, it is no surprise that indoor fountains play an important part in the Feng Shui practice. But other materials in your space can be just as important in maintaining positive ch’i! In Feng Shui, there are six principle elements: wood, metal, fire, wind, earth and water. Asian furniture is wonderful for helping to provide these elements in your home – and for maintaining a simple, uncluttered space that is so central to the Feng Shui philosophy. For wood, consider Japanese furniture such as a trunk or stacking tables made from antique or reclaimed teak. A beautiful copper mirror made by artisans in Kashmir, on the other hand, will provide a beautiful source of metal. In addition to traditional decorating techniques that also follow Feng Shui, such as a fireplace (fire), indoor fountain (water), and potted plants (earth), Asian furniture will help add a sense of well-being to your living area – it’s almost like you’re vacationing in your own home! The combination of simple design and beautiful quality will help add a sense of calm and aesthetic equilibrium to your space.
