How to hang pictures in Feng Shui (54 photos): harmonize the interior

Feng Shui is an East Asian practice of harmonizing space. This is both science and art. Its purpose is the use of positive energy flows (Chi) for the benefit of man and reducing the influence of negative energy. Energy is controlled by the proper placement of objects surrounding a person - objects that make up his living space.

Living space must first be conditionally divided into zones - the zone of love, health, family, wealth, wisdom, creativity, etc. After that, using the right pieces of furniture and interior details, it will be possible to influence these zones, if necessary, activating or, conversely, suppressing the flow of energies in a particular sector.

Painting as an energy management tool

The picture in the interior of the apartment is not only a decoration. With its help, you can increase or decrease the effect of Qi flows. The main thing is to determine in which room, in which zone and on which wall it is best to hang a picture. It is also very important to know what semantic meaning the image carries. When choosing a Feng Shui painting, even the color and material of its frame should be taken into account.

An important rule when choosing a picture for Feng Shui - it should cause extremely positive emotions. There should be no negativity and a sense of doom, but, on the contrary, a sense of joy and happiness.

It is worth abandoning paintings depicting aggression in any form, from gloomy and fading landscapes, from photographs of dead people. Do not use paintings depicting broken and broken objects, natural disasters, cemeteries. Paintings, the meaning of which is “secret arrows” (pointed pointed objects, power lines), is also undesirable to hang in the house.

With the help of the picture, you can correct the situation with the lack of separate zones in the house. To do this, hang it in the place of the proposed location of the sector. It is best if the picture shows the horizon, sunset, endless field or the vast expanse of the sea.

To activate the necessary zone in the apartment, you need to know which paintings have an image suitable for this sector. It is desirable that the color of the picture frame be one of the colors preferred by this sector.

Sectors and areas of the premises

Focusing on the cardinal points, we will determine the sectors in the apartment in Feng Shui:

• In the north is the career sector. It is necessary to pay attention to this sector in the house if there are problems with work. Activation colors: blue, cyan, white, black.
• In the south is the sector of fame and aspiration. Harmonizing this area will help achieve fame, recognition and success. Colors: red and green.
• In the west - the sector of children and creativity. This area in the house requires attention when there are problems with children, with their conception and education. Activate this zone also for the implementation of creative ideas. Colors: gray, white, yellow.
• In the east is the family sector. Disagreements with spouses, parents and children are an occasion to pay attention to this zone. Colors: blue, green, brown, black, slightly red.
• In the northwest - the sector of travel, intuition and patrons. You can activate this zone in difficult moments of life, when you need outside help. Colors: gray, white, yellow, silver, gold.
• In the northeast - the sector of knowledge and wisdom. It is necessary to control the movement of energy in this zone so that there are no problems in learning. Still here is the best place in the house for yoga and meditation. Colors: yellow, beige, terracotta, orange.
• In the southwest is the sector of love and relationships. It is worth harmonizing this sector in the home when problems arise in love, in marriage, in communication with relatives and relatives. Colors: red, pink, brown and all shades of these colors.
• In the southeast is the wealth sector. Wealth, material well-being, life satisfaction. Colors: green, violet, lilac, moderately red.
• In the center of the apartment is the health sector. Located in the center, this zone has an impact not only on the physical health of all family members, but also affects all sectors in the house. It is imperative to maintain harmony in the health sector. Colors: yellow, orange, terracotta and beige.

The semantic meaning of the image

Where and what kind of picture can be hung in a particular area? Determining the choice, it is necessary to take into account the semantic meaning of each image.

For example, in the north, in the career sector, you can use images related to water - the sea, a sailboat, a landscape with fish. A special role in the activation of the career sector can be played by a picture depicting a waterfall - a symbol of purification, attracting good luck, love and prosperity. All images associated with clean water in motion, represent the embodiment of prosperity and happiness. The picture "waterfall" is good to hang in the study, bedroom or living room. This symbol has powerful energy. Therefore, you should never place a landscape with a waterfall behind you - above the desk, over the sofa in the living room, over the bed in the bedroom. There is a high probability of a negative result - a powerful flow of energy can simply "flood". The picture "waterfall" should always be located opposite the table in the study and opposite the bed in the bedroom. Do not hang a picture with water in the southern sector. The meeting of two polar energies can lead to conflict.

In the south, in the sector of glory, it is good to use paintings depicting mountains, wood, fire, and pointed forms. Rocky mountains with a river at the foot, a landscape with poppies, the image of strong animals, for example, horses - the best options for designing the sector of fame. In addition, the image of a horse is a powerful talisman for attracting good luck. The painting "horses" symbolizes success, achievement and fame in all areas of life. And horses in a pair are also a favorable marital relationship. A special symbol of lifting and growth is the image of a horse standing on its hind legs. In addition, a horse’s picture can be hung opposite the entrance to the nursery, as it protects the children.

In the northwestern sector, you can hang a picture depicting the mountains. Mountains are a symbol of stability, protection and support. A picture of the mountains is well hung in the study, above the table. Mountains adorning the northwestern sector (sector of intuition) should be without sharp peaks.

Elephants are animals that favorably affect many sectors in the home. Elephants - protect from unreasonable money expenses, stimulate creativity, attract good luck and protect children. The picture "elephants" can be placed in the nursery, and in the study, and in the bedroom. She can decorate both the corridor and the western wall in the living room.

Sailboat is one of the strongest symbols of material well-being and happiness. A picture of a sailboat can be placed in any sector of the house. You can hang it on the wall in the bedroom, living room and kitchen. But it’s best to hang the picture “sailing ship” in the hallway. The sailboat should be with its sails spread, and it is also very important where it holds its way. The sailboat should keep its nose towards the apartment, and not toward the window or front door. It is important that the picture shows a sunrise or its zenith.The sunset is associated with the end of the prosperity period, and therefore, the sunset shown in the picture is completely undesirable to use in the design of the house in order to activate the zones. Pictures depicting a sunset are best at blocking negative energy.

Images of flowers

Especially important in feng shui is attached to the image of flowers.

Sakura, personifies five aspects of life (by the number of petals) - luck, prosperity, health, happiness and peace. The best place for the picture "Sakura" is in the bedroom. It’s good to place her in the love sector in the southeast and in the family sector in the east. But the image of sakura is also appropriate in the kitchen and in the living room.

Orchid is a symbol of romance, love, family happiness, patronage. A picture of an orchid can be placed in different sectors. In the love sector, the orchid normalizes the relationship between the spouses, helps to restore the lost passion. The location of the painting "orchid" in the east will help to strengthen health, restore vitality. If you hang images of orchids in the northern sector, then the business will be more profitable, and a career more successful. Relations with others will improve after the orchid activates the northwest patronage sector.

Peonies symbolize hot feelings, passion, new relationships. Peonies are the most powerful symbol of love. Lonely girls can use the picture “peonies” to activate the love sector by hanging it in the living room or bedroom above the bed. Immediately after the satellite is found, it will be necessary to remove the picture "peonies" from a prominent place in the bedroom and hang, for example, in the corridor or in the hallway. To freshen up relationships and for new feelings of love, couples can also decorate the wall in the living room and the wall opposite the entrance to the bedroom with a picture of peonies. In the bedroom itself, it is better not to keep peonies for married couples, in order to avoid a surge of feelings that can lead to betrayal.
