What Goes Into a Feng Shui Living Room Staging?

There are several schools of Feng Shui, but they all come down to a mystical and a practical side of approaching how objects in your home and life are positioned to maximize health and harmony.

At the Sheffield School, we emphasize the interior design aspects of feng shui. A whole home or a single room can be staged using existing furnishings and accessories so that it flows better, reflects the residents' intentions better, and feels more inviting and beneficial.

Have you ever walked into someone's home and felt trapped or oppressed? Contrast that with walking into someone else's space and feeling a sense of welcome, peace, and wonder. The latter is what feng shui can help achieve.

We picked this video from Denver feng shui practitioner and stager Nicolette Vajtay. As part of her Inspired Living Feng Shui practice, she interviewed a young couple and captured before and after scenes of their living room to emphasize the practical aspects of furniture and accessory placement in feng shui. This will give you a great idea of how a successful feng shui practitioner works with clients to make beneficial changes in their living room ... and lives. 

As lead curriculum developer for Sheffield School, I'm fascinated with feng shui. I even went to China to learn more about it! If you'd like to know more about it, too, I encourage you to explore the Sheffield School, New York, NY. Sheffield began as an Interior Design school in 1985, and then expanded our course offerings to train people in other design-related fields, including Feng Shui, Wedding and Event Planning, and Jewelry Design. With thousands of active students and more than 50,000 graduates, Sheffield has trained more design professionals than any school in the world.

It's interesting that Feng Shui is now considered as a field of study.

When I was working on my undergrad degree we covered feng shui a bit because my teacher was from China. She gave us an assignment to go try a few things and one I tried was increasing my career luck. I had been looking for a job for a while and after doing a few feng shui changes I got a job.

Needless to say I started making more changes and though they didn't do much, they did make my home feel more welcoming and relaxing.

is feng shui true? or is it really true that adding happiness and wealth in life is arranging your furniture according to their concept?
