Feng Shui your wardrobe for fall and the holidays to create abundance

by Leave a Comment

feng shui fashion for fall

It’s officially autumn (fall) so as we expect cool temperatures to approach, we can start to prepare for a shift in our wardrobe. Items like shorts, summer dresses, and tanks will make their way into storage while sweaters, boots, and flannels will make their way into dressers as we anticipate cooler days and nights.

What are some colors you can wear to invite prosperity into your life and create abundance?

Fall is associated with Metal energy and an easy way to incorporate this is by wearing gold and silver jewelry. You can also do this by wearing accents of grays and black whether that be a black hat or leggings. This energy is associated with communication, creativity, inspiration, strength, and intelligence – all of which help us balance with the world around us. This is a great tip for the holidays as well because it’s a simple way to dress up any outfit while including bits of fall into your outfit.

Metal is powerful but you can balance it with Earth energy. You can incorporate earthy tones into your closet with browns, yellows, and greens of any shade you prefer to bring grounding and comforting energy to you. This is especially important when it comes to feeling cozy and relaxed at home. Fall is a great time to wind down from a hectic and busy year to enjoy time with family and friends. In fall, our yang energy naturally quiets down making our chi now yin with nature allowing us to slow down. This means it’s a great time to incorporate green colors

When it comes to your decor, the same rules apply but you can also utilize other autumnal colors to create an inviting, powerful, and positive space.

What are some other colors you add to your wardrobe?

  • Reds: The color attracts abundance and new opportunities especially when it’s incorporated into your front door decor. For an outfit, try adding a red bracelet or a shirt with hints of red in it that can pair well with the earth and metal colors.

  • Oranges: This color is very social and works well for gatherings. Do you want to encourage good conversations and a lively atmosphere? Try adding pumpkins and other orange tones to your outfit or decor.

Whether you are hosting an event or attending a holiday party, you can channel your intentions with your attire and connect the two for a prosperous fall season. Remember to go big and bold! The autumn colors leading up to holidays are the best time to wear feng shui colors like reds and metallics. They will uplift your mood and invite prosperity!

Autumn Blessings,

Refresh Your Interior with Feng Shui for Fall

by Leave a Comment

We reached record breaking temperatures this summer and as we begin to reach cooler months, it’s almost time to prepare our home and make way for autumn’s harvest. I’ll be sharing some easy ways for you to refresh your space for fall for even more prosperity to fuel the rest of your 2023. It’s said that autumn calms our yang energy and makes our chi yin with nature in perfect harmony.The first day of fall is officially on September 23, but the good news is it’s never too early to get details in order now and start planning the interior of your space. The personality trait for fall is focused on relationships, gratitude, and self-reflection – all are key priorities to keep in mind.
  • A big signal for fall and an easy way to differentiate your home or office from summer is through color. Hues of reds, oranges, yellows, and earthy tones are all auspicious colors, but don’t forget metals too as these symbolize strength and intelligence. Earthy tones make your space cozy and inviting which is important as we enter a time of year when friend and family gatherings are frequent. Earthy tones also connect your home to the grounding energy of Earth, a great way to end the year. Colors can be showcased through pumpkins, fall foliage, home decor, photos, blankets, pillows, wreaths, dinnerware and other accents. Store your summer feng shui essentials in bins for the next year and label for easy access, it’s a great way to keep your home clean and easily switch seasons and reduce clutter.
  • Since the yin energy of fall will intensify, you can expect the yang energy of summer to settle as you enter a season of comfortable temperatures and an opportunity for higher abundance to enter your life. Autumn naturally has quite soothing colors associated so finding creative ways to spotlight these throughout your space can make all the difference. Add accents of metal as well and mirror the effect that fall has on nature, the season of letting go as leaves fall from the trees, we are similarly reordering our space for something new as well. Metal helps to cultivate more joy and focus, you can incorporate whites as this pairs well with metals. Do this by adding fresh white sheets to your bed. Just as the trees are releasing leaves, let go and declutter to make room for new opportunities and new growth.
  • A great way to refresh your home and increase prosperity is to cleanse your home at the start of a new season as well. This can reset your space for the next four months ahead and prepares it for the transformative energy in fall. Looking to balance fall chi energy? Yang energy settles down in fall, but you can attract some of it back with your home accents and that use of color we talked about earlier. You can also do this by activating fire energy, this can be through candles or the use of a fireplace if you have one in your home. You can also use string lights, fairy lights or battery operated flickering candles to brighten dark rooms or corners, this makes a room more inviting and relaxing. Candles are an easy way to create a soothing scent and energy in a room, want to boost this even more? Try out a soy based, crackling wooden wick candle! This adds a calming sound to the room especially if you want to pair it with an ambience video playing in the background while you work, cook or read. You can easily search “fall ambience” on YouTube if you have guests over or just want to add an extra touch while you’re at home or working. You might even get some decor ideas this way.
  • Don’t forget to set your intentions and start a gratitude jar! Both play a big role in autumn months and allow you to put into the universe what you are hoping to achieve and appreciate heading into September.

Fall Decorating with Feng Shui

by Leave a Comment

Our previous post, Feng Shui Tips for Fall, touched on the basics when welcoming fall into your home, but this post is an in-depth tutorial on how to fully transform for the season!

Decorating our homes can be fun, but overwhelming at anytime, but decorating for the upcoming holidays is an even greater challenge. There are so many different ways to decorate your home and office. What are the best ways for you? What is it that you want to achieve? We’re here to help!

Lighthearted laughs, delicious dinners, stress-free weeks and money in our pockets are just some of the things we want to achieve with Feng Shui. Do you have rooms set for company? Do you have mirrors in the right place? Have you managed to incorporate the right color scheme for maximum abundance?

A touch of intimacy

When you think of the holidays, you typically think of those special moments with family and friends. Everyone gathers together and for a moment there is a brief moment of utter peace and closeness. The tables are set beautifully with floral and unique centerpieces, the fireplace is lit on cold winter days and these elements combined make the moment all the more memorable. In Feng Shui, intimacy can be achieved through seating. Keep the chairs close, but not too close. Faced towards each another versus apart. The type of energy you want to achieve comes with the arrangement of furniture. Warm conversations and happy gatherings!

Clear the way

The first things guests see when they walk in for a gathering is the hallway. In Feng Shui, the entryway is a place of vitality and abundance. It’s naturally where the energy enters and exits. A strongly-colored area rug, reds are always a good idea, or a cozy side table can help decorate the space and it allows you to create a space for fall decor like pumpkins and candles. Mirrors in the foyer are helpful – just be sure it’s not directly facing the door! One key tip… make sure your front door opens completely to ensure that you welcome the most energy and prosperity into your home. 

Light the room

If you’re really lucky, you’ll have rooms throughout that are adorned with natural lighting. If not, incorporate ways to put elegant fixtures and chandeliers so that you can stay far away from dark corners. The more lighting you have, the more your decorations (and energy) will shine! 

More Metal

Coins and special feng shui symbols often bring us moments of abundance in money, love and happiness. These little trinkets are very meaningful during the holidays and it’s a great way to highlight on how powerful they can be. Not only do they make great gifts, but they are also great for distributing on your dining tables at Thanksgiving and Christmas for prosperity for all! Entertaining can act as a way to attract the positive energy that metal can bring.

Candles of course

When we think of fall, most likely we think of the cozy moments when we can incorporate the fire element. We can leave warm and humid days behind (for a moment) and bask in the warm and delicious scents that cold weather can bring. What are your favorite types of candles? Toasted marshmallow, cinnamon, apple and vanilla are some of our favorites. The wonderful thing about candles is that they can be placed in bathrooms for relaxation, dining tables for intimacy, foyers for warming up the entrance and to beautify fireplaces. Using different scents can trigger lovely memories from previous years. 

Contact us to help you set up your living room, dining room or entire home for entertaining this season. It will help to promote harmony and peace-filled holidays.

Happy October and Autumn Season!

Feng Shui Tips for Fall

by Leave a Comment

Fall is here and with a new season comes new opportunities!

Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons. – Jim Bishop

Not only does the season bring beautiful hues of orange, red and yellow, but it also brings so many wonderful opportunities to connect with nature. Cool air, relaxing walks and cozy nights by the fireplace are all moments that should be truly appreciated. It’s the perfect time for new intentions that can be placed in spaces where you often walk for daily reminders about what it is you want to achieve.

Feng Shui plays a big part in bringing your house up to par for new beginnings. The nature that fall brings symbolizes a renewed energy that can be placed throughout your home or office. A golden glow begins to take place in both your life and what surrounds you.

Here are a few tips for good tidings of comfort and joy:

Pumpkins

Display plump pumpkins in your foyer, on the dining table or living room because in feng shui they are often regarded as an item that brings wealth and good fortune.

Color

Play on the orange and red that surrounds you and use it to your advantage! Implement shades of orange for socializing with friends and family. Orange decor works well for gathering and seasonal celebrations. Red represents high energy and prosperity which are good for health and money.  Use at or around the front door where energy often originates with ribbons, wreaths, pots or other decors. Yellows and browns bring a sense of relaxation to your space for cozy nights in.  It is a grounding color.

Household Plants

As cold air approaches, we naturally become inclined to stay indoors more. When decorating your home, be sure to include a few household plants to help circulate fresh and clean air. This is not only good for your health but great for the energy that you surround yourself with. It’s also a great way to remove harmful toxins and purify the air for a pleasant breathing space with loved ones.  Place in kitchen, bathroom, or home offices.  Do not place in bedrooms as they add energy where we are trying to slow it down to sleep.

Host a Gathering

Spending time with family and friends is good for your wellbeing and it’s a great way to stop and appreciate all you have. A way to relieve yourself from stresses that work may cause and recharge with laughs and joy. There are many upcoming reasons to celebrate and setting the table with food and drinks is the start to an evening of lighthearted fun.  Use even numbered dining chairs and a round or oval table for family harmony.

Enjoy the Outdoors

Cozy up in a new cardigan and explore the outdoors with a short stroll through a park or time with your furry friends. The sun is sure to be out from time to time to take full advantage and soak up the Vitamin D while listening to the fall sounds like birds chirping, wind blowing and leaves falling. The small sounds of summer ending can relax and destress any tension you may have!
