5 Feng Shui Concepts to Help a Home Sell
To put the best face
on a listing and appeal to buyers who follow feng shui principles, keep these
tips in mind.
1. Pay special attention to the front door, which is considered the
“mouth of chi” (chi is the “life force” of all things) and one of the most
powerful aspects of the entire property. Abundance, blessings, opportunities,
and good fortune enter through the front door. It’s also the first impression
buyers have of how well the sellers have taken care of the rest of the property.
Make sure the area around the front door is swept clean, free of cobwebs and
clutter. Make sure all lighting is straight and properly hung. Better yet, light
the path leading up to the front door to create an inviting atmosphere.
2. Chi energy can be flushed away wherever there are drains in the home.
To keep the good forces of a home in, always keep the toilet seats down and
close the doors to bathrooms.
3. The master bed should be in a place of honor, power, and protection,
which is farthest from and facing toward the entryway of the room. It’s even
better if you can place the bed diagonally in the farthest corner. Paint the
room in colors that promote serenity, relaxation, and romance, such as soft
tones of green, blue, and lavender.
4. The dining room symbolizes the energy and power of family
togetherness. Make sure the table is clear and uncluttered during showings. Use
an attractive tablecloth to enhance the look of the table while also softening
sharp corners.
5. The windows are considered to be the eyes of the home. Getting the
windows professionally cleaned will make the home sparkle and ensure that the
view will be optimally displayed.
