4 Ways to Make Effective Feng Shui Use of Landscape Art Prints

Feng Shui in its original form was very much based on superstition – if you didn’t have nine orange koi placed in a pond in the missing section of your home your entire life would fall apart in a particular area! However, the discipline has evolved to be much more focused on the developed wisdom about visual flow and the way our environment interacts with our state of mind. Today we are looking at what Feng Shui has to tell us about choosing and placing canvas art prints.

Choice of colour

Feng Shui has fairly detailed guidelines about the use of colour – but does also teach you to run things past your internal like/dislike filter. It tells us that the colours of romance and passion (red, pink etc) are best placed in the bedroom, that you need corporate style blues and blacks to focus in a home office, and so on. Try to match the tone of your canvas art print to the purpose of the room:

• Hang peaceful pictures that encourage rest in the bedroom
• Hang inspiring scenes in the home office
• Family photos are good for the living room, the kitchen, and children’s rooms.

Using two- or three-panel prints

Splitting up your picture or landscape into two or three panels makes your picture even more of a focal point for the room. Feng Shui would say that it is creating or attracting ‘Chi’ – a type of energy. Obviously, if you are going to create a strong focal point for the rooms with several panels, it is even more important that the picture itself is suited to the surroundings.

Photograph subjects for different rooms

Feng Shui often ‘honors’ nature as one of the ultimate sources of energy … we would simply call it inspiration! The natural elements (fire, water, earth, wind and wood) are often said to correspond to different areas of your life. Whether or not you subscribe to this theory, there is a definite advantage in utilizing these different elements throughout different rooms – matching them to the purpose of the space as we talked about earlier.

Paintings with perspective

Since the ‘feeling’ of a space is so important in Feng Shui, it makes sense that paintings with a strong sense of perspective would suit fairly enclosed or cramped spaces – visually creating some room to stretch. Conversely, paintings with an ordinary ‘flat’ perspective would work well in larger spaces, helping define the boundaries of the room and keep those in the space feeling safe.

Feng Shui has a lot to teach us about interior design. Some of us will learn these lessons best by thinking about them in terms of energy and feelings – others will appreciate technical terms like emphasis and continuity. Whichever works for you, if you put a little thought into the way a canvas print will interact with its surroundings, you’ll discover a newfound appreciation for it!
