Being lock-down in your home for weeks on end. Did you redesign your home in your head? Let’s face it your home overnight turned into your prison, workplace and school setting.
Did you not come to the realisation that 2020 was a year to reinvent your interior design within your house?
You can create your own opulent lifestyle within your home.
Feng Shui What Does That Mean?
During being lockup did you evaluate the feng shui quality you lived in? How did it make you feel? Did you then throw out so much stuff that made you feel horrible? Did you think when doing so what on earth was I thinking of holding on to this worthless crap? Being cooped up did you realise how neglected your home has been?
Did you think to go on the internet look at home designs and dream of a feng shui home that would allow you to be more creative? Give you more working space?
Let me encourage you to declutter, swap, loan and borrow items to create your new feng shui home.
Ask your friends to swap items you don’t need or like.
Items that mentally drain you. Furniture or objects that have a bad history in your life. Get rid of them.
The state of your room is the state of your mind.
Antique Furniture
Antique furniture is cheap right now. So it is easier to get it for a great price. Try to hunt people down for gifting, loaning and swapping your existing furniture for something different.
Choosing antique furniture is a lovely way to redecorate your home.
Bedroom Wardrobes
I am a big fan of having beautiful antique wardrobes and draws as a work of art. Art pieces you can move if you intend to sell.
Also, I love storing my sustainable clothing in beautiful wardrobes. Don’t neglect your lampstand image either.
Italian villas are very dark so the more lamps the better Feng shui.
Venice Venetian Homes
I was lockdown for months in a small tiny flat. my views were lovely but my feng shui was utter soul-destroying. I was in the process of moving and after lockdown, I actually sold all my household goods.
I gave lots away including every item that made me feel ill. I love the colour coral reef but for some, you may find it draining.
So my home is actually travelling month to month here in Italy. I started staying in Venice and it is one of the most stunning cities in the world.
Relais Alberti was one of my hotel reviews on the island of Lido.
What a wonderful way to be inspired by interior design and feng shui by staying in a hotel that is 600 years old.
Ceiling art or fresco is a brilliant way to redecorate one of your homes.
Bed Linen
Your bed is where you rest, creates babies and spend an average of 8 hours. Choose your bed linen wisely. make sure it all matches. And don’t neglect your back.
A good mattress is a must. I put flowers next to me whilst I sleep. Flowers and my room decor is important for my mental health.
Loan, Swap And Gift
Did lockdown highlight how much items you have that you could have loaned, gifted or swapped? learn these skills and be mindful of the powerful revelation. That covid 19 showed us how little we need to live with and how all around the globe that nature had a good rest from us.
Everywhere I live now is loaned, gifted or swapped. Go to forums and share what you have and what you need.
Gift the items you don’t want. Swap items you need and ask to borrow furniture for awhile. When you have had enough give it back.
The Facebook market place is a perfect way to swap items. Swap an art piece that suits your home.
Inspirations For Your Feng Shui
Walking the streets and in and out of shops, churches and museums. I truly understand my love for Europe. The people who made Venice were amazing.
Being in Venice was a display of an opulent lifestyle. This open-air museum is to be adored and inspired by.
The endless palazzos, bridges and richness in colours, is a wonderful way to learn what one loves when it comes to interior home decorating.
I take lots of photo’s to help me remind myself of what I love.
Home Swapping
I dream of my own palazzo. But then why don’t I just loan or rent one. Why don’t you and I swap our homes for a while?
As lockdown restricts our holiday movement. Why not swap your home and be someone where else for awhile.
I am on an estate renting and also swapping my skill sets regarding social media marketing. In exchange for home decor ideas. There are so many villas here. I have the keys to play in each one of them.
On this occasion, I asked for the alfresco table to be set. To give my top tips for stay home outdoor eating. Nothing on this table belongs to me. It is all on loan.
Swap, loan or gift with others. Their smile was priceless when I gift items to others.
This red cape is a gift in exchange for lifestyle shots here at Fattoria Mansi Bernardini marketing. Also marketing Tuscany.
In this pandemic, we must team up and share our business ideas. And by doing so giving to others so we live in a better place.
We often share our food and table setting ideas here on the Estate.
Olive Green Is The Colour Of Creativity
Whenever I am in Italy olive green and everything green is the fashion and interior inspiration we should all adopt within our home regarding feng shui. It is a colour that nurtures the souls for new beginnings and creativity.
Do you like olive green for your home?
Choose your colours well that make you feel and be creative in your home. Your home is now your office and place to educate your kids for at least I feel one to two years.
When I walked around Venice and looked at the olive green canals. They too gave me interior design inspirations.
Be inspired by your surroundings. Including your garden. Start with your favourite window display in your home. Mine is my kitchen window.
Take Your Time
You have more time than ever to redesign your home. Start with one room first. Take it slowly, think and anything you have that gives you a bad feeling or a depressing feeling. make sure you get rid of it. Objects have the power to make you feel happy and sad.
Take photo’s of your room before and after shots. So you see the transformation of the house and your mind.
That is what feng shui is all about. Living in an environment that makes you feel powerful, productive and calm.
Kitchen’s are where we are spending most of our time. So it is a great area to start.
Cloth Silk Wallpaper
Your office space.
Did you not judge your work colleagues homes during lock-down when on zoom?
Don’t neglect your walls. I adore silk cloth wallpaper on the walls. they are a brilliant zoom background.
Wallpaper is an easy way to change your office space. Attention to detail is all about your feng shui. Your office is where you make money.
