Feng Shui Decorating With Silk Plants, Flowers & Trees
Feng shui (pronounced fung shway), or “wind-water,” is the ancient Chinese practice of achieving harmony with the environment through the design and layout of space and the placement of objects in one’s environment. This positioning is based on the belief in balance and harmony between nature and living beings, patterns of yin and yang and the flow and effects of positive and negative chi (energy).
The goal of feng shui is to achieve harmony, comfort and balance…first in one’s environment and then in one’s life. Feng shui objects and accessories can greatly enhance your environment, bring about positive life changes, create prosperity, enhance relationships, increase wealth, achieve goals, provide more energy and better health.
Adding new decorative items to your home that represent life, whether with plants, flowers or trees, helps to create a calming, tranquil atmosphere.
If you are hesitant to use real plants or flowers because of the maintenance involved, consider exquisitely made silk plants, silk flowers and silk trees from The Silk Garden. They never need water, aren’t messy and always look great.
“Many people shy away from using living plants in their decor, claiming their lack of a green thumb results in unhealthy and dead plants. For these people, I recommend using life-like or ‘live looking’ fake plants,” says Joyce Hyde, feng shui consultant. “Attractive, good quality silk plants are available in a wide variety of styles…their vibrant green color that symbolizes life, growth and health can transform a dull, lackluster space into a warm and inviting one.”
Feng Shui Decorating Suggestions
In feng shui, different plants, flowers and trees have different effects, depending on their overall shape, the shape of their leaves and flowers and their color. When incorporating feng shui into your decorating scheme, keep in mind the following feng shui suggestions.
1. Rooms of relaxation and rest, such as bedrooms, bathrooms or meditation rooms, should not include plants with spikes, spines or pointed leaves. Avoid cacti, dracaena, agave or bromeliad. Instead, use round-leaved plants, such as schefflera, monstera, calathea or jade plants.
2. Plants with pointed leaves or strong upward growth work well in areas that are used for stimulation, such as the kitchen, living room or office. Consider using cacti, palm trees, yuccas or dracaena.
3. Place plants with dense foliage and round leaves in front of any protruding corner.
4. Tall palm trees with spreading leaves work well in front of internal corners.
5. Have a long corridor in your home or office? Stagger bushy plants along either side.
6. Choose a silk flower arrangement in purple to add more passion to your life, a red or pink arrangement to add romance and excitement or a white flower arrangement to add stability.
7. A money or jade plant, with it’s round, thick leaves, brings positive energy, fortune and enhances finances. Lilies are also a symbol of abundance and positive energy.
8. Chrysanthemums bring laughter, happiness and harmony to an environment.
9. Hanging plants are great for moving energy around a room.
10. Tall green foliage plants, such as ferns and grasses, increase vitality and freshness.
11. Red or purple orchids can help revive a dormant sex life.
12. Dahlias, daisies and chrysanthemums enhance romance and finances.
13. Red tulips and red roses increase romance, pink tulips bring pleasure and white tulips increase motivation.
14. Bushy plants with rounded leaves are calming.
15. Trail philodendron or any round-leaved plant over sharp corners of tables or shelves.
16. Bamboo symbolizes positive energy and good fortune.
17. The most popular feng shui plants and flowers include bamboo, ficus, palms, dracaena, money plants, hanging baskets, peonies, chrysanthemums and lilies.

Wind chimes are very soothing and calming tools of tranquility, providing peaceful background noise. There is evidence that these gentle, wind-created sounds can improve health and well-being. Wind chimes are also quite comforting, their gentle sounds easing a troubled mind or soul.
Wind chimes are very popular choices as both indoor and outdoor accessories.
