Feng Shui for Wherever You’re Calling Home

....cabin, campervan, apartment, mansion — energy doesn’t discriminate
Whether you're tucked into a cozy sharehouse, living tiny in a campervan, spreading out in a 3-storey home, or nesting in a one-bedroom unit - your home holds energy. That energy is either supporting or blocking your peace, flow, dreams, and goals.
Feng shui (pronounced "fung shway") is an ancient Chinese system that helps balance and direct energy - called chi - so that it supports you emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
Interior designer and feng shui enthusiast Justina Blakeney puts it simply:
"Feng shui is about making your space feel good, emotionally and energetically. You don't need a mansion — you just need mindfulness."
The Entryway: Invite Abundance In
Your front door is where energy, ideas, people, and abundance enter your life. It’s considered 'the mouth of chi' in feng shui.
Try this:
-
Clear any shoes, bins, or clutter near the entrance.
-
Clean the door and sweep the steps or mat.
-
Add a healthy plant, welcome mat, or wind chime.
-
Use soft lighting if possible - or even a solar lantern.
This isn’t just for looks. A welcoming entry signals to the universe that you’re open to receiving - money, opportunities, and fresh energy.
Bedroom Vibes: Sleep, Love & Support
Your bedroom reflects your relationships, your self-worth, and your ability to rest and recharge. Whether you're solo or partnered, this is the place to nourish love, trust, and inner peace.
For better sleep & love energy:
-
Position your bed in the 'command position' - ideally with a solid wall behind it and a clear view of the door (but not directly in line).
-
Keep under your bed clear to allow chi to flow freely.
-
Use pairs: two pillows, two lamps, two bedside tables - to invite balance and partnership energy.
-
Avoid mirrors facing the bed (they bounce energy and can disrupt sleep).
-
Choose soothing colors like warm neutrals, soft pinks, or gentle blues.

Clear the Clutter to Clear the Way
Every item in your space holds energy - and it either lifts you up or pulls you down.
That stack of papers, overflowing junk drawer, or clothing you haven’t worn in years? It’s all stagnant energy. Feng shui teaches that decluttering opens the path for fresh blessings to enter.
Start small:
-
Tidy one drawer, shelf, or surface.
-
Let go of items tied to guilt or the past.
When you clear space physically, you also clear space mentally and energetically - making room for clarity, creativity, and calm.
Use the Five Elements to Balance the Mood
Feng shui works with five natural elements - wood, fire, earth, metal, water - to bring harmony to a space. Each one affects mood and momentum.
Bring in balance by adding:
-
Wood (plants, wooden bowls): growth, vitality
-
Fire (candles, warm tones): passion, visibility
-
Earth (ceramics, stones): grounding, stability
-
Metal (mirrors, metallics): focus, structure
-
Water (fountains, images of water): flow, ease, abundance
Even in a van or a small rental, a mix of textures and natural elements can shift the entire vibe.
Design Like You Mean It
You don’t have to be a designer. You just have to care. Your space is a living reflection of your energy and intentions. Let it tell the story of where you're headed.
Try this:
-
Display items that represent what you’re calling in (a vision board, a photo of a place you love, symbols of joy or success).
-
Use affirmations and artwork that remind you of who you are becoming.
-
Keep energy moving by opening windows, playing music, and moving things around regularly.
Remember: you’re not 'doing it wrong' if your place is small or imperfect - feng shui is about feeling, not fancy. Start with what you have. Add heart. Trust the energy shift.
