Our house is not only our fortress, where we sleep, eat and relax. The apartment is a reflection of our whole life. Furnishing an apartment in accordance with the laws of Feng Shui will help you establish all areas of your life.

The Chinese teaching of Feng Shui tells about the arrangement of the premises for the favorable flow of Qi energy in it. In each apartment there are areas responsible for a certain area of life. The design of each of them according to the laws of Feng Shui activates the energy of a particular zone. A feature of a small one-room apartment is its limited space. It seems impossible, retaining the functionality, to design it in accordance with all the rules. With the help of this article, you can adjust the flow of Qi energy even in a small room.

Basic Rules

The size of a 1-room apartment, on average, is 25 square meters. m. It is necessary to try very hard to correlate the functional zones with the zones of Feng Shui. If you are unable to place furniture in accordance with the energy sectors, you can use the basic rules of Feng Shui, which are suitable for rooms of any size.

First of all, you need to clean the apartment from unnecessary and unused things that only litter it. If you have not used a thing for more than a year, feel free to throw it away or give it to friends who really need it. Wash all surfaces, tighten all unscrewed bolts, glue all the fallen off wallpaper - bring the apartment in full order. In the future, try to maintain it and fix it right away.
After cleaning your apartment of unnecessary garbage, experts advise to clean it spiritually. To do this, you need to smoke incense in every corner and sprinkle all exposed surfaces with salt water. Thus, you save your home from negative energy.
The layout of apartments in our country is almost always made so that the bathroom is located at the entrance to the apartment. Vital energy, getting into the house, reaches for water, and through the drain zone it immediately goes outside. Therefore, the door to the dignity must always be kept closed. The same should be done with the toilet lid. You can hang a small mirror on the bathroom door, preferably below, which will direct energy to other areas of the house.
The poor view from the window (view of the construction site, garages, garbage cans) has a negative impact on the energy of the house. You can block the access of bad energy by planting figures of Heavenly Lions or Three Warriors on the windowsill so that they look out onto the street. Also, you will relieve the house of negativity by curtaining the window with blackout curtains.
It is important to keep the door and hallway clean. Through them, Qi energy enters your home. Doors should be well washed and always tightly closed. The place where you leave your outer clothing should always be clean.
Highlight the center of the apartment with a beautiful crystal hinged chandelier. If this does not succeed, then select it with a carpet. In this way, you will attract qi energy to the center of the room, which will spread to all other zones.
A kitchen is a zone where two elements collide: fire and water. To avoid their conflict, it is necessary to arrange the sink and stove as far as possible from each other. If this does not work out, then place another element between them - a tree, which will become a harmonious transition.
It is advisable to use a bed for a sleeping place.Folding sofas are considered unfavorable. If you can’t get a bed, try to keep the folding sofa in a flattened state more often.

How to highlight energy zones

According to Feng Shui, each room can be divided into sectors that are responsible for a certain area of our lives. They are also called Bagua zones. Each zone is located on a certain side of the world and its characters are certain colors and elements. In total there are 9 zones: careers; wisdom and knowledge; families; wealth; fame; love, marriage; Creativity assistants traveling; health.

To determine the location of each zone, you will need:

apartment plan, which you can do yourself or take in the BTI;
Bagua grid - classical or in the form of an octagon;
compass.

Using a compass, determine the cardinal points, and mark them on the plan of the apartment. Then, overlay the Bagua grid on it and divide the plan into sectors according to the cardinal points of the apartment. You can select sectors by dividing the entire area of the apartment or just the room.

Modern apartments rarely have the correct square or rectangular shape. In this case, by dividing the apartment into sectors, you may find that not all zones fit into your plan. You should not worry about this, because you can place all sectors in one room.

To activate a zone, it is necessary to place symbols associated with a certain area of life in it. Feng Shui loves harmony. Do not overfill your home with amulets. For a one-room apartment, the presence of one or two is suitable.

The design of even a small apartment can be decorated in accordance with the laws of Feng Shui, using space zoning basics. Focusing on certain sectors of Bagua, you can furnish an apartment by highlighting the functional areas in them.This will have a beneficial effect not only on the Qi course, but also significantly increase the practicality of your home. When applying the rules of Feng Shui, always remember your own comfort. If you feel uncomfortable in an environment decorated in accordance with all the rules, then no amulets will help the harmonious movement of Qi's vital energy.
