In harmony with Feng Shui - harmonious lamps for your interior

Feng Shui at home: what is the importance of lighting?

Feng Shui - poetically translated as Wind and Water - refers to the invisible and intangible force that permeates our daily lives. This ancient Chinese system of space design involves achieving harmony with the natural environment around us by deliberately and consciously organizing our interiors.

Not only houses, but also outbuildings, cities and even villages once benefited from the wisdom of Feng Shui. This reminds us of the universality of this practice and its impact on all aspects of our environment.

The tradition of furnishing a space according to Feng Shui is to introduce three fundamental principles that can be adapted to any house or apartment.

The first is to adhere to Yin and Yang - these two concepts are the heart and soul of Feng Shui. Their iconic symbol, the interlocking halves of black and white, is recognized around the world. In the past, Yin symbolized the shaded side of the hill, while Yang represented its illuminated part. Yin embodies the feminine aspect of nature, while Yang reflects masculinity. These two forces are constantly striving towards each other, interpenetrating each other, forming an inseparable whole necessary to maintain harmony.

The second pillar of Feng Shui, which is the key to planning our spaces, is the Bagua - an octagon divided into eight sectors, representing different areas of our lives: career, knowledge, family/health, fame, wealth, marriage, children and helpful people. To use Bagua, superimpose it on the plan of your house, divide the space into specific spheres - the front door should fit perfectly into zone 1, 6 or 8.

The last of the key principles of Feng Shui, Wu Xing, is the principle of the five elements: Water, Fire, Earth, Wood and Metal. Each of these elements attracts a specific type of energy to itself, so decorating rooms according to the character of the corresponding element is an important step in creating a harmonious home. Each element emanates its own unique vibration, which affects the atmosphere of the place.

Harmony doesn't require minimalism - say yes to accent lighting

Feng Shui harmony does not mean adhering to strict minimalism. On the contrary, the system celebrates differentiation and diversity, and one of the most important aspects of this philosophy is light. While main lighting plays a key role in creating a basic, functional interior, accent lighting transforms our homes from livable spaces into true sanctuaries of tranquility.

It could be a lamp to highlight the beauty of our favorite plant, a subtle light from the back of a book shelf, or a delicate LED strip to highlight the contours of our coffee table. - Accent lighting is used to highlight specific elements in our home while creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Using it in a Feng Shui-compliant interior is not only a way to add depth and dimension to our interiors, but to create an atmosphere conducive to tranquility.

In addition, accent lighting is an excellent tool for manipulating the perception of space. For example, directing the light toward the ceiling makes the space appear taller, while lighting directed downward increases the coziness and intimacy of the interior.

Principles of lighting in harmony with Feng Shui

Here are some tips on how to apply Feng Shui principles in choosing the perfect interior lighting:

• Take advantage of the power of the soft, diffused light of lampshade lamps to visually soften the sharp edges of furniture. Spheres especially those in milky colors spread a soft, warm light that makes the furniture look less austere, adding a cozy feel to the home space.
• Think about placing a lamp over the table: a spotlight or directional lighting over the desk, kitchen counter or other work areas provides the right conditions to focus and concentrate on tasks, no matter the time of day. In this role, it is worth betting on adjustable wall lamp.
• Dark corners and unlit areas can affect our subconscious and disrupt our sense of security, Use table lamps, wall lamps or floor lamps to add light to these areas and maintain a homey atmosphere.
• Look out for lamp designs that reflect the forms and shapes found in nature. They can bring an element of the earth element into the room, creating a sense of calm and balance.
• Remember that lighting in Feng Shui is not only a functional tool, but also the key to creating a space full of harmony and kindness. By using it properly, we can attract positive energy, promote health and well-being, and create an environment that reflects our unique aspirations and lifestyle.
