We’re planning on redecorating and remodeling our guest bathroom. In this process I’m picturing and visualizing what I want it to look like. This is such a valuable step. It’s important to spend time in a room before decorating, to feel it and picturing what it would look like enhanced, thinking about the Feng Shui Bagua area that it’s in, and the colors, shapes, and the items that will further enhance it.
When you feel the time has come to change the look or feel of a personal space, the space itself can provide you with the most useful guidance. Working with a single room allows you to unearth its potential and better understand how you want to relate to it. You want to look at it, listen to it, bond with it in a personal way. The more you know about the space you wish to change, the better equipped you are to make it beautiful and functional.
I love the guestroom that we’ve remodeled a few years ago. It used to be a mauve color, and too busy. I never felt comfortable in it, and I’m sure our guests felt the same. Our designer helped me find a subtle mushroom color for the walls, and some barnwood style furniture. It’ quietly neutral, but the burgundy accents add to the Fire element of the Love area. It’s just as I had visualized it, and it has become my favorite room in the house. It also opens to our garden, so it makes it a very special place.
Before you contemplate colors, and enhancements you plan on making, spend some time in the room you plan to modify, observe the way the light moves to each space at different times a day, and the course of a week, or so know those times when you feel drawn to that particular space. Visualize how you want it to feel.
By treating the layout, and decor of your personal space in a mindful way, you can honor its national rhythm, while creating a cohesive, comfortable home that uplifts your energy. When using the recommendations from the Bagua area, you’ll find that it not only brings in beauty, but it’ll also bring in quality of life. Remember that Feng Shui not only deals with beauty, but it deals with enriching your life and achieving your goals. Visualize a beautiful space which will lead you to peace, harmony, and success.
