Feng Shui: Yes, Even Your Closet
You may think that using Feng Shui in your closet is going overboard. But, just think about how often you use your closet. At least once a day and generally first thing every morning, you look in your closet and have to deal with what is going on in there.
Feng Shui is a 6,000 year old Chinese art that incorporates the use of space to bring good fortune to you while minimizing bad luck. There is a lot to be said about attitude, mood and oppressive thoughts. Feng Shui is a way to help you maintain good moods, feel organized and in control.
Just imagine you open your closet in the morning to find everything in disarray. You have to dig, untangle everything, search for matching clothes and ultimately get your day started in a foul mood. Once you do find what you want to wear, you will probably have to iron it because it has been squished between all of your other clothes. Well, this can make you late, flustered and eventually the stress can even take a toll on your health and the people around you. Feng Shui principals can be applied to many small areas of your life to help keep you focused and balanced throughout your day.
Feng Shui is a practice that aims to help people stay balanced with the environment. Artificial elements are not desired. You want as much natural light as possible. Air purifiers, skylights and plants help keep the indoor environment more like the outdoor environment.
For your closet, use natural woods instead of wire shelves and hangers. Bamboo is most preferred because it is a renewable natural resource that actually helps the earth and the air quality. Bamboo hangers are a great place to start. They are very strong, lightweight and beautiful.
Take everything out of your closet and make sure that it is very clean. You need to keep a couple of rules in mind when you are replacing items. You should only put in what you will use fairly often. The Feng Shui closet should be more about usefulness and less about storage. You will want only fifty percent of the closet space filled. The ancient Chinese believed that you could not have room in your life for others unless you physically made room in your home for them. This belief translates to leaving room wherever you can so that you always feel ready to accept others.
If you must store items in your closet, place them at the bottom or out of sight. Heavy or bulky items should not be kept over-head because they encourage an oppressive feeling of having emotional baggage in your life.
Most people would think that there was no way to create fifty percent space in their closet. You can quickly and easily do this by utilizing specialty hangers. Group your clothes together so that you mentally separate work, health and family. Use cascading hooks, skirt hangers and pants hangers to get outfits together and ready to wear. This frees up a lot of desirable empty space. Using wood hangers or bamboo hangers will help you keep clothing evenly spaced.
Keep these basic Feng Shui rules in mind and you can have a closet that is organized and in harmony with the rest of your home.
