To the Ancients, everything happened around the fire, from cooking and keeping warm, to sharing stories. It’s no surprise, then, that the fireplace is considered the heart of the home. It can spark new ideas, opportunities and success, with a few décor tweaks.

Feng shui fix

Make your hearth a focal point. Even if you don’t have a fire, position an assortment of large pillar candles where the fire would be to generate positive energy. Pop a colourful vase of flowers by your fireplace to promote new growth and opportunities. To reflect good vibes into your home, position a mirror above your hearth. Choose one that sits nicely in the centre and fills the space without being too large or small. This will balance the fire energy and promote joy.   

Who doesn’t love a comfy sofa to snuggle into? The good news is that simply sitting in a chair you love can help you manifest wealth and wellbeing. It’s all about the colour and texture, and creating space for positive energy to flow.

Feng shui fix

Position your sofa so that there’s plenty of room to move in front of it. Clutter creates cluttered energy, so pop a nice mat in the middle of the room and leave this space as your focal point. When choosing a sofa, go for colours that promote abundance. Golds, greens and purple shades attract money energy, but don’t worry if your colour scheme doesn’t fit with this, instead make small additions where you can. Cushion covers that pick up on these shades will revamp the room and attract prosperity. Also, photo frames, vases and ornaments in these hues will generate positive energy.
