Although some consider Valentine’s Day as a “Hallmark holiday”, I think it’s a great opportunity not only to do something special for your loved one but for yourself as well. I would say that assistance with finding love is something many of my feng shui clients ask for. Whether it’s finding new love or supporting existing love—it’s true that love makes the world go round! Here are a few feng shui tips to facilitate love for Valentine’s Day.

COLORS

Colors play an important role in feng shui and in how we perceive the world around us. In feng shui we consider pink, red and peach romantic colors. Pink is more feminine and relates to relationships and love. Red invokes passion and sensuality. Peach is related to what we call “peach blossom luck” which makes one very attractive to others.

9 Simple Tips to Feng Shui Your Home

Since January is organization month, it’s the perfect time to start the new year off right with a little Feng Shui revitalization at home. Here are 9 simple tips for bringing positivity into your home with Feng Shui. Nine is the most auspicious number in Feng Shui, so if you can manage to do all nine of these, you will attract even more good energy!

1. Fix your squeaks!

Does your entry door squeak or whine when you open or close it? The entry door is the first and last thing you encounter when coming or going from your home. The sound is as if the door is crying and this can affect your mood and well-being. Many people have become so accustomed to the sound that they don’t even notice it. Oil that door hinge and create more positive energy when you enter and leave your house. It’s also helpful to oil any other door hinges throughout the home, but the entry door is the most important.

2. Use your front door

Many people live in homes where they drive up into the garage and use the back door to get in. While this is very convenient, from a Feng Shui perspective this may limit good energy and opportunities in your life because again, the entry door represents how “chi” enters your home and life. The easy Feng Shui fix? Start using the front door at least once week. The more often the better! Just open and close it when you go get the mail, or maybe to take walk. Write it into your regular routine.

"Benjamin Moore's Simply White is currently my go to for walls. It's a soft warmish white, that's neutral -- not too yellow or creamy, yet not too cool and blueish. It's also great in semigloss for mouldings."

"If you want a neutral grayish blue, without looking too depressing, or pastely -- My go to is Benjamin Moore's Mt. Rainier Gray. It's refined and elegant enough for a living or dining room, but also great for bedrooms and kids room. I've never had a client NOT love it after they put it up. It works in most lighting conditions and gives a little bit of color without a lot of commitment. It's super easy." -Anjie Cho
