5 keys of Feng Shui
The order and harmony are two keys concepts to consider in the interior. As you know there is an oriental philosophy called Feng Shui, which sets out basic principles that can generate harmonic compositions at home or at work, so we feel at ease and that the energy flow. But if this concept seems too complicated you do not worry because we’ll give you five keys to easily apply it to your decor.
1-The receiver is the most important part of the home, because it penetrates much of the energy. It must always be placed harmonious furnishings, unfinished-neck, avoiding the overhead of objects and the accumulation of elements that carry a low mood, such as invoices, photos of deceased or any other element that we generate sadness.
2-The windows are very important, they penetrate the sunlight brings warmth and good energy to our home. These must not be too small, because not provide enough light, not too large, because they would be our energy, and should always have a translucent glass. If you have a window of the street, take advantage and put a bench next to be able to sit and watch what happens abroad, it will help you to get away and create a connection between the exterior and interior of your home.
3-In the bedroom there should be no more than a mirror, and when our reflection may not be seen from the bed, as this will help to relax. The mirrors in Feng Shui are important because they retain their positive energy stored by the sun during the day, but an excess of these can be counterproductive. Also in the bedroom should be avoided electronics, especially televisions, because remaining energy to the room and prevent the rest.
4-The room should be the hub of the house, so it should facilitate the entry and exit of persons and reporting them. The ideal is to have a corner sofa that is situated around a small table, because it invited to share the day to day among the members of your household.
5-Finally, the bathroom should be well organized, with a separation between the shower and toilet, and if possible, incorporate some natural plant to provide balance to the room.
I hope these five keys will help you have a home more harmonious and balanced, because in this time when stress is part of everyday life, our home should be a space in which to relax and escape from everything.
Japanese Panels, an Oriental Touch and Versatile
Japanese panels are an option that more and more people choose to decorate your home. Have opened a hole in our decor almost without realizing it, no promotion just yet and are a very useful and versatile option also provide a modern and minimalist feel to the decor with a subtle oriental touch.
As its name suggests comes from Japan where they form part of the traditional decor and there are several independent panels that cross each other. You can make combinations of several panels, but in the same structure can get to go from two to four or five, although in the case of large walls can also join more than one structure.
The overlap between panel and panel is usually between 5 and 10 centimeters, so that no gaps or holes between them and look like a continuous set in sight. The aesthetic possibilities are many as they can pick up all to one side, half on the right half to the left or all to the center. There is also the option of folding panel with each panel behaves like a folding screen that can be collected individually at the top independently of the other panels regardless of the position you are.
As far as we can use textiles, fabrics often fall, both heavy and rigid so that they fall straight across to prevent dislodging or “do legs” (lateral deviation). For the central parts are more appropriate translucent panels that let go a little light, while providing some privacy, and some more opaque to the extremes, but this decision also depends on the use we will give you.
We can use them on balconies, small windows, large windows, sliding doors, balconies, etc … and in both bedrooms and living rooms or other rooms. The color scheme is free and can do a combination of solid colors or with any embroidery, patterns with smooth, etc … all depends on the tastes and decorative needs.
We must not forget one very important detail is that the application clears the room to give the illusion of width, because the structure occupies less space than a pleated curtain cleaning winning visual and spaces.
Another application that can have these panels is the Japanese room dividers and can also be installed on the roof (instead of on the wall) to separate two different environments, such as living room and dining room.
