From Chaos to Calm: Using Feng Shui Principles to Revitalize Your Airbnb Space

1. Clear the clutter: Feng Shui emphasises the importance of decluttering. Remove unnecessary items, rearrange furniture and create a sense of spaciousness that allows energy to flow freely.

2. Balance and harmony: Create a sense of balance by arranging furniture and decor in pairs or symmetrical patterns. This will create a sense of harmony and balance.

3. Inviting entrance: The entrance sets the tone for the whole room. Make it welcoming with well-tended plants, a clean doormat and soft lighting to ensure positive energy enters your Airbnb.

4. Natural elements: Incorporate the five elements of Feng Shui – wood, fire, earth, metal and water – through decor and materials to create a well-rounded and grounding atmosphere.

5. Commanding Positions: Ensure that key pieces of furniture, such as beds and desks, are placed in ‘commanding positions’ to provide a clear view of the entrance and maintain a sense of control.

6. Inviting bed and bedroom: The bedroom should be a sanctuary for rest. Choose soothing colours, soft bedding and place the bed against a solid wall for a sense of security.

7. Flowing energy: Arrange furniture and decorations to encourage the smooth flow of energy. Avoid blocking pathways with obstacles.

8. Natural light and air: Maximise natural light and fresh air to energise your space. Keep windows unobstructed and use light, airy curtains.

9. Earthy Tones: Incorporate earthy colours such as soft greens and warm browns to promote grounding and stability.

10. Mindful placement: Be intentional with decor and artwork. Choose pieces that resonate with positive emotions and align with the desired energy of the space.

11. Soothing sounds: Play soft, soothing music or use wind chimes to bring peaceful sounds into your room and create a calming atmosphere.

12. Inviting conversation areas: Arrange seating areas to encourage easy conversation and connection. Place chairs in a circle to encourage open communication.

13. Fragrance and aromatherapy: Use pleasant scents to enhance the atmosphere. Essential oils such as lavender, eucalyptus or citrus can lift and refresh energy.

14. Greenery and nature: Indoor plants not only purify the air but also bring the energy of nature into the home, creating a revitalising and harmonious environment.

15. Personal touches: Add your own positive energy by adding personal touches to your Airbnb space. Display items that have sentimental value and contribute to the overall energy.

By incorporating the principles of Feng Shui, you can create an Airbnb space that not only reflects your personal style, but also promotes a sense of calm, balance and positive energy for your guests. The transformation from chaos to calm will be palpable and leave a lasting impression on those who enter your revitalised space.
