Create a Feng Shui Home

Host Stephanie McWilliams gives her feng shui dos and don'ts for each room of your home.

Feng shui design considers the energy within your home, your belongings and even within yourself. The goal is to create a space that feels safe and supportive, while also speaking to who you are and hope to become. Try out some of the following guidelines for each room of your home to see and feel the feng shui difference.

Lush plants and beautiful pathways create an inspiring entrance into your home.
Entryway

Dos:

• Create an inviting and eye-catching entrance, both inside and out.
• Include uplifting "greeters," such as a waterfall or piece of artwork.
• Add bright and beautiful lighting so the pathway is safe and visible.
• Place inspiring objects leading up to the door, like a meandering pathway and flowers.
• Add plants, especially evergreens, which will stay lush all year.

Don'ts:

• Pile up paperwork, trash or broken objects near the doorway, inside or out.
• Walk into a wall or dead end. If necessary, add a mirror to help visually expand the space.
• Have objects that get in your way or block the flow of energy moving into the home.
• Leave broken steps or items in poor maintenance.
• Let your garage door draw more attention than your home's entrance.
