On this online interior design school this time I’m going to explain a little bit about this new tendency, for occidental people, that is the Feng Shui Style.

Positive energy, relax, peace are some of the sensations that this style gives us. It is an ancient Chinese discipline that improves positive aspects of the elements that are part of a room and tries to identify negative vibrations to change them into positives.

The atmosphere has to be calm, and equilibrated.

The predominant colors must be relaxing. For example, light blue that is a color that reminds us the sea, and that is easy to create a combination with other colors.

When we have to decorate windows, if the room has a nice view, is a great advantage. But if it hasn’t, we have to choose very carefully the curtains.

For example they can be very light to allow the natural light pass through it. Maybe they can be green to simulate the presence of trees.

Red, yellow or orange flowers help us to create a natural and fresh ambient. There are some beautiful flowers that in Argentina are called “Gerberas” and they are perfect for this purpose.

The order is a fundamental condition. Every single thing has to have a place and the furniture in the right place will help us in that special design that we want to create.

The online interior design school is for you to create your own designs, to improve your sketches, to give you some ideas, but the thing is that you are the designer.

Take these tips and put them into practice, experiment yourself with colors and textures.

The furniture in silver calls the attention, and there’s no doubt about it. It brings to the room a modern air and, we could say an industrial inspiration.

Let’s think that we want to give a feng shui style to a room for the children to study.

In these kind of rooms it’s fundamental a desk with some drawers. In this style, they say that keeping this desk in order helps us to be organized in all the life aspects.

The position of the bed is very important to enjoy a real rest. Don’t place it in the middle of the room; put it next to a wall. In this way we have the sensation of protection and peace that we need to sleep peacefully.

The floor maybe could be covered with a carpet, to bring us the warm sensation and balance the coldness of the furniture.

The pictures on the wall have to be ordered, or symmetrical.

I’ll give you some few more tips about this on the online interior design school. In this style you can play with the five elements.

In China these five elements are: water, wood, fire, earth and metal

Fire: light some candles; there are a lot of beautiful candles and lighthouses designs, aromatherapy’s candles and much more options. Make them combine with the soft colors of the room.

Wood and earth: Another Chinese tradition is to put a recipient; it can be a wooden plate, on a table, for example, with earth or sand and some little stones in it. Every day you have to change the order of the stones or touch the sand with your fingers so as it has a new design every day. It connects you with the nature and gives you a peace feeling. But it also has a meaning, the constant change of things in life.

Water: You can put a fountain in the room, the sound of the water falling in the little rocks are very relaxing, besides the constant water moving means everything changes and passes by in life.

Metal: You can use it in the furniture as I said in this article, but there are also coins.

If you tie three coins with a pink thread, they say it will bring you prosperity and money.

North West is the best area of the house to put the coins.

The ying and yang symbol can be included. It means that in every good there is a little bad, and in every bad there is a little good. And those are in permanent change.

It is the symbol of the balance between good and bad.

These elements are not only nature elements but Chinese people think the elements represent different parts of the body.

The last advice in this online interior design school is to classify the objects in your room, and think about what else you need to find your own balance, your own order and then you will have a perfect place for relax and meditation.
