Feng Shui (pronounced “fung shway”) is a Chinese practice based on the idea of balance in your environment. The idea is that colors and furniture arrangements create or disrupt a peaceful sanctuary in your home. Fairfax County VA homes for sale don’t have to completely remodeled, but by following a few Feng Shui principles, you can make your home or condo more appealing to buyers.

1. Choose colors carefully. In Feng Shui, colors have a positive and negative energy associated with them. Bright colors can be either irritating or uplifting. Dark colors can be either depressing or relaxing. Green is a fresh color that brings peace and harmony. Blue is rejuvenating and healing. Yellow, red, and purple bring good luck.
2. Bring in some nature. In Feng Shui theory, nature is the ultimate in balance. When you bring natural elements inside your home, you bring with them their perfect balance. The easiest way to incorporate nature into your décor is with plants. Use real or silk plants with healthy, broad leaves and stay clear of dried plants and flowers. Place them at different levels throughout your home.
3. Arrange your furniture thoughtfully. Feng Shui followers believe furniture should always be placed so that the person sitting there can see the doors and windows in the room. You also want to minimize sharp corners, and you can do this by placing plants or furniture diagonally in front of corners.
4. De-Clutter. Take a serious look around your home and make a list of anything you don’t need or don’t use. Throw away broken items and give away anything that’s useful for someone who will use it. Clutter in your home conveys a sense of chaos and destroys peace.

With just a few adjustments to your current decorating plan, you can use Feng Shui principles to create a home or condo that will be appealing to buyers.
