Feng Shui Kitchen Decor to Attract Love

Posted on by

Here are some great Feng Shui tips (the ancient art of Chinese Object placement) to attract love.

The kitchen is the domestic place of love and in Feng Shui things displayed in pairs attract soul mates so go ahead and use “male and female” salt and pepper shakers to magnetize the opposite sex. You can use the symbolism of salt and pepper shakers to attract a mate as well. A pair of chickens or ducks in the shape of salt and pepper shakes can symbolize a great love.

To enhance fertility, display copper fish molds. Copper is a favorite metal of the Chinese goddess Quan Yin and also of the Roman goddess Venus. Fish symbolize fertility so be sure to hang them on your kitchen walls. Round shapes are also conducive to creating good relationships.

Ceramic tiles bring love. Decorate walls and tiles with ceramic as opposed to linoleum. Pink or rose colored ceramic tiles as well as walls painted in rosy tones bring love especially if this color is in the kitchen or bedroom.

Crystal Ware can clear bad energy. You don’t have to use stones like quartz to clear bad emotional energy from a room. Any type of crystal glass, vase or statue can also be used to create loving chi anywhere in your home.

You also can’t go wrong with heart shapes in the kitchen. Hearts, especially twin hearts are a good theme for linen, wallpaper and statuary in the kitchen. Heart shaped cookie cutters and salt and peppershakers also attract love.

Considering baking your heart out! Heart shaped molds or cake pans may be hung on the wall to enhance the love attracting properties in the kitchen and of course every time you use on of these you are cooking up passion.

Light colored wood attracts love. Furniture should be made of a light colored wood. Woods made from fruit trees such as cherry attract love. Avoid heavy, metal or glass black furniture that create blocks to the free flow of energy.

Finally always make sure that your appliances are in good working order. If appliances are broken it can symbolize broken relationships.

Finally keep your home absolutely clear of clutter. There is an old saying that “Venus won’t enter an empty home.” Venus was the Goddess of Love. Keep your home absolutely pristine and clean so that love will feel willing and able to enter your life at any time.

Feng Shui Tips For A Peaceful Home III

Here are even more great tips for making your home more serene using the ancient Chinese art of object placement.
DECORATE WITH NATURAL MATERIALS. Stay away from plastics and formicas and go for bamboo, marble and cork surfaces. The less manmade and more recyclable the material the more peaceful your home will see. It is very Asian to decorate with furniture made out of bamboo, wicker and other natural materials.
KEEP FLOWERS AROUND. Keep natural fresh flowers around. Do not use artificial blooms unless you plan to keep them very clean. Dust on artificial plants is bad energy in general. The very best way to create a peaceful and beautiful atmosphere is to make sure that you have cut live flowers that are pest free. Do not keep wilting flowers around as that symbolizes fatigue.
KEEP EXERCISE EQUIPMENT OUT OF MAIN ROOMS. Exercise equipment that resembles boats or vehicles can create disruption in your home’s energy because they symbolize travel. They are especially bad in the bedroom and dining room because they represent motion when these are activities that should be enjoyed while one is still and relaxing. If possible store these items out of sight whenever you can.
KEEP CEILING FANS OUT OF BEDROOMS. These create “cutting chi” that is unhealthy and can interrupt peaceful sleep. This is because they symbolize the cutting of the air and air symbolizes energy.
REMOVE MIRRORS FROM BEDROOMS. Remove mirrors from any place that you sleep.. If you have one in your bedroom, remove it immediately, since it is said that the energy created by mirrors in this space can cause insomnia. Move mirrors to your dining room instead where the reflection of opulence and food brings wealth. Mirrors are also good in the kitchen. Whatever you do, do not hang a mirror so that it cuts off any part of the head. This will cause headaches.
CLOSE YOUR BEDROOM DOOR WHEN SLEEPING. This helps make your bedroom more of a womb or cocoon that facilitates relaxation. This is especially important to do if you have boisterous children or pets.
CREATE PEACE WITH PLANTS. Almost all plants create a peaceful atmosphere unless they are somehow dying or dusty. The bigger the plant the more calming it will be to you. Avoid spikey plants like cactus as they trap harsher energy. Instead opt for plants that have large fronds and leaves and that are more Asian or tropical in flair. As an added bonus – the bigger the plant the better it will be at cleaning the air with the oxygen that these plants produce.
