Do you use feng shui design principles? 😇

Feng shui is making a comeback in 2021. This practice focuses on bringing balance and harmony into a home in order to invite good energy. For those currently feeling “closed in,” feng shui could make a huge difference. Use the energy map (or bagua) to understand where to feature the five elements—water, fire, earth, metal, and wood—in your home, as well as which colors and materials you should be using in specific rooms.

What's your typical wall decor? 🤔

Traditional gallery walls with photos are fun to show off your family or travels. You can also hang some baskets to create a boho basket wall. Pairing baskets that are different sizes and woven patterns will add visual interest in any room!

What do you like most about this bedroom? 💚

We love the lighting choices! When looking for bedroom lighting, think soft and gentle. Lights should provide enough visibility for moving around at night, but shouldn’t be so harsh that it’s hard to fall asleep with some of them on. Consider including a mix of different lighting fixtures—like recessed lights and table lamps, or wall sconces and a chandelier—so that you can adjust the level of brightness when you’re in your bedroom as well.

What's your best tip for keeping the pantry organized? 🤔

Use airtight plastic or glass containers to store dry pantry items like pasta, rice, cereal, flour, oatmeal, and sugar. Write the expiration date on the back of the container with a washable marker. Remove pre-packaged food items from larger boxes and store them in wicker or wire baskets. This can help you find items more easily and grab them on the go.

Do you prefer classic or modern style in your home? 🧐

A vanity and chair are classic pieces of bedroom furniture to consider incorporating in your room! Not only can vanities be used for storing hair accessories and jewelry, but they can also be used for getting ready in the morning. When picking out a vanity for your bedroom, look for vanities with plenty of storage space where you can keep beauty and hair products, and be mindful of the size of your room—you don’t want to choose something that will take up too much space and make your bedroom feel cluttered!

Do you have trouble keeping plants alive in your home? 😅

Plants are great for style and helping a room feel alive. Different plants have different amounts of sunlight, fertilizer, and water required to thrive. Talk with an experienced gardener if you're curious about what upkeep your houseplants require! We'll help you create the space for more green in your home.

Do you use feng shui in your home? 💚

Embracing bedroom feng shui can help you map out the energy flow and place furniture in optimal spaces to encourage good energy and better sleep. The bed is key to good feng shui in this room, so make sure it’s in a commanding position that isn’t directly in line with the door. And don’t forget to leave space on each side of the bed for a nightstand to create harmony and balance in your bedroom.
