Top 7 Dramatic Feng Shui Before And After Changes (2024)

Do you ever walk into your home and feel like something’s just not right? Maybe it’s cluttered, chaotic, or just not as peaceful as you’d like.

That was exactly how I felt about my house. It was time for a change, so I decided to try Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese practice of arranging spaces to create harmony and balance.

Let me give you some background on how I applied Feng Shui before and after effects in different rooms and the magical transformations.

Feng Shui Before: The Whole House

When I first moved into my house, I was so excited about the extra space that I didn’t think much about organization or flow.

Over time, the entryway became a catch-all for everything. Coming home after a long day, I’d drop my bag, kick off my shoes, and just leave them by the door.

My living room used to be a dumping ground for everything- mail, clothes, and random items I couldn’t find a place for. Every time I walked in, I felt overwhelmed by the mess. It wasn’t a place I wanted to spend time in.

My home office desk faced the wall, with my back to the door. I often felt uneasy, like something was always happening behind me. This made it hard to focus on my work.

3. Imbalance of Elements:

My living room was filled with sleek metal furniture and electronics, but it lacked balanced five elements, warmth and natural elements. It felt more like a showroom than a cozy space to relax.

In the bedroom, I only had a harsh overhead light. It didn’t create a relaxing atmosphere, and I struggled to unwind after a long day.

5. Lack of Personal Connection:

The walls were bare, and the space lacked personal touches. It didn’t feel like it reflected who I was or what I loved.

Applying Feng Shui Principles

Here’s how I used Feng Shui to transform my space:

1. Declutter and Organize:

I started by tackling the clutter in my living room (read amazing benefits of decluttering). I sorted through everything and donated what I no longer needed.

I added shelves and baskets to organize the rest. As soon as the clutter was gone, the room felt lighter and more inviting.

I rearranged my office so my desk faced the door (rules for office desk). This simple change made a huge difference felt more in control and focused.

Now, I can see opportunities coming my way rather than feeling like I’m missing out.

To bring balance to my living room, I added some wooden bookshelves and a few plants. I also got a small tabletop fountain to introduce the water element.

The room instantly felt warmer and more balanced, becoming a place where I wanted to spend more time.

I added lamps with soft, warm bulbs to my bedroom, along with a dimmer switch for the overhead light. This allowed me to adjust the lighting based on my mood, making the room a perfect place to relax and recharge.

I hung up some family photos that I loved. Adding these personal touches made my home feel like a true reflection of me, full of memories and stories.
