Feng Shui, Meet Modern Minimalism

Feng Shui, Meet Modern Minimalism

Feng Shui, Meet Modern Minimalism

 

Modern minimalism is all about clean lines, clear countertops, tidy spaces, and houseplants. (Lots of houseplants.)

But feng shui, too, has a lot to say about whether or not your living space feels peaceful, and that’s why the modern minimalist movement would do well to take a few cues from this ancient Chinese philosophy. Indeed, combining old design ideals with new ones is a powerful way to amplify minimalist principles in your home.

This week, I bring you a conversation with interior designer Brooke LaVoi. Brooke believes that, while decluttering clears old energy and creates space for new ideas and new abundances, only feng shui can amplify the serenity we all seek within our homes. Brooke comes armed to our conversation today with practical design and lifestyle tips for listeners who are open to applying feng shui as a means of more effectively organizing their minimalist homes.

Here’s a preview of today’s episode:

[8:30] Why rearranging your furniture is an instant space refresher
