Feng Shui Tips: Designs, Decor, Colors And Fragrances

Many people believe the practice of feng shui can bring peace and balance into a home or office.

To decorate using feng shui products and principles, it is important to alter only one or two areas at a time; enhancing all areas at once will cause confusion.

Love and Romance Tips Using Feng Shui Products

• The love and relationships area is located in the southwest corner of a home
• Pinks and reds are feng shui colors known for enhancing love and romance
• Third-party interference or infidelity may cause failure in a relationship if a mirror is facing the bed from any side of the room; therefore, all mirrors in the bedroom should be covered or removed

• Remove televisions from the bedroom to avoid evoking negative energy
• Place feng shui product symbolizing love and marriage, such as a pink quartz crystal, around a room to emit a powerful energy

Feng Shui Tips for Wealth and Happiness

• The wealth and happiness area is located in the southeast corner of a home or business
