We all spend a lot of time in our laundry room and the principles of Feng Shui can be used to create an organized and pleasant space. As an area that takes advantage of the water element and removes dirt and rubble, the principles of feng shui are similar to the bathroom.
The laundry room is a space of purification by removing dirt and renewing with clean fabrics. A little attention will increase the flow of positive chi in your home and make your laundry time more enjoyable.
Feng Shui Placement of Laundry in Your Home
If you're building a new home or remodeling, feng shui placement of the laundry room can optimize and enhance your wealth sector. The laundry room should not be placed in the wealthy area of your home since this sector is governed by wood. But as a place of water, the laundry nourishes the wood. Do not place the laundry in a fire area of the house as fire and water work against each other. Ideally, it is located away from the house as in a gallery, on a terrace or in a room outside the home.
The color of the laundry room
You spend a great deal of time in the laundry room. Therefore, it will have to be as attractive and pleasing to the eye as your bathroom to enhance and attract wealth. Take the time you need to look around the laundry area and reflect on what it looks like and how you would like it to be. Does it look sloppy? It is dark? Are the colors disturbing?
To improve your finances, a feng shui laundry room should be light. Light shades of blue or green enhance colors that attract water. Wood options for furniture and trim should be tan or light brown. Keep everything light.
Laundry Design Basics
One of the most important elements for the laundry room is good lighting, either through windows or overhead lights. Good lighting creates a positive flow of chi and allows you to see what you are doing.
You have to include adequate storage for the laundry supplies that are needed. However, you don't have to turn it into a meeting room to store unrelated items. There should be enough counter or worktable space to fold laundry. Do not use this space for storage. It should be kept clear when not in use.
Don't put a dragon in front of the (decoration) laundry. Dirty water comes out of the room and shar chi (negative energy) can affect the energy that enhances your dragon. A bowl of multi-colored blue and light brown crystals or colored stones can enhance and attract wealth. Don't overdo the design with too many feng shui elements. Keep the laundry room clear.
Create harmony in the laundry
Even if you can't remodel your laundry room or build a new one, there are some basic feng shui rules for a laundry room that can be incorporated at any time to create harmony:
Check around and under your washing machine to make sure there are no leaks from hoses or other parts. If you leak, repair or replace your machine. The slow flight is reflected in your finances.
The lid or door of your washing machine should be closed at all times. Like the toilet in the bathroom, clean water flows into the room while dirty water flows out of the room and out of your home. An open lid or door will allow your finances to flow away from you with the dirty water. Keep the dryer door closed as well.
The door leading to your laundry room should be closed at all times. If you don't have a door, hang a curtain. Remember to keep the colors light.
Cleaning and organizing the laundry room
Cleanliness and organization are feng shui principles that are so important in the generally small laundry room space. You have to take into account what we tell you below:
- Remove lint from the dryer on a regular basis. The fluff is messy and clinging to the shar chi. It can also create a real fire hazard.
- Throw away old detergent containers and empty the trash can regularly.
- Organize laundry gadgets and keep only supplies.
- Keep your furniture organized.
- Use baskets or baskets to sort clothes waiting to be washed. Don't leave your clothes lying on the floor.
- Fold or hang your clothes and put them away right away. Don't allow clothes to pile up in the laundry room.
- Replace burned out bulbs immediately. Clean floors and sinks regularly.
