What is Feng Shui and how can it support me in hanging my pictures?

But what exactly is Feng Shui and how can it help me hang pictures? Because we want to feel comfortable in our own four walls, we want to use murals and works of art to make our homes cosier and create a harmonious atmosphere. The Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui says to bring harmony into our surroundings through certain rules and arrangements. If you want to create a feeling of harmony and joy in your living space, beautiful memories captured on pictures can have a supporting effect.

Feng Shui is based on the mutual influence of people and their surroundings. According to the rules of Feng Shui, our home is arranged in such a way that harmony and balance prevail between us and our surroundings. When arranged correctly according to the teachings of Feng Shui, pictures and works of art in the home can not only create pure symbolism, but also subconsciously produce an energetic effect that contributes a great deal to personal well-being.

The symbolism of images

In this context, just take a look at the pictures and symbols you have in your living room. To make yourself aware of this, you can also make a list of all the pictures and symbols in your living room. Often, at least subconsciously, your pictures have a symbolic meaning and positive effect on your life. If you now take a closer look at your pictures or the symbols and messages expressed in them, you should concentrate on the pictures that have a healing effect on you and with which you subconsciously associate a positive feeling.

Sinking ships, dark candles or fearsome dragons, for example, do not contribute to your positive room climate and are therefore not positive Feng Shui images. Sensitive people sense these negative vibrations immediately. If, for example, you are just moving into your self-built house or your new flat, the dove is particularly suitable as a symbol for loyalty and creation.

But these can also be images from nature in warm colours, such as a flower. Pictures of flowers remind people of their own natural roots, the strength and health of their own bodies and their love of nature. Therefore, images of nature always have a healing and very energetic effect.

What are your experiences with hanging pictures and Feng Shui?

Hello,

I have just moved into a new flat and have neither a photo nor any pictures hanging on my new wall. So far, my living room walls have always been full of photos, especially many with my best friends. I have never thought about a separate arrangement of my photos or wall pictures until now. Nor have I ever thought through exactly where to hang them beforehand.

Now I’m about to choose new pictures for my home and I’m seriously wondering which motifs could have a strong impact on my energy? I am also looking for the perfect place for my new pictures so that my flat radiates more harmony. Do you have any tips and ideas on how I can do this? Thank you for your suggestions.

Kind regards

Ingo

Living with pictures: Which motifs should I hang in my flat?

Pictures reflect the character of a person. However, many people do not have an emotional connection to their pictures and hang them up in the flat, workplace or bedroom because they find the pictures primarily visually appealing. At least, that is what many people believe when they hang pictures in a room. However, in our subconscious we always associate something with the hung photo. Maybe it is a picture from days gone by and we remember that one moment in the past when we see it. Or we associate the picture with a special person or a special situation. After some time, however, we no longer consciously perceive these feelings. In the subconscious, however, the message of the hung photo is recalled again and again.

There is no general rule about which motifs, colours or types of pictures you should hang in your living room or house according to the rules of Feng Shui. It is much more important that you associate a positive moment with the picture you hang. This can be a picture from your last holiday or a picture of your family. Works of art by famous painters or landscapes in a variety of shapes and colours can also evoke positive associations in the viewer. Therefore, you should definitely avoid pictures with which you associate a negative message. Even if you are no longer consciously aware of it, images from difficult phases of our lives harm your inner well-being.

Of course, it is also allowed to hang pictures or frames of yourself in the flat or house. There are many people who hang pictures of their partners, their own children or family on the wall in their living room. Self-portraits can, for example, boost one’s energy, ensure better health and strengthen self-confidence. But it can also help you to achieve a goal you have set for yourself. A photo taken together with your partner often reminds you of special moments together. With such a picture, with or without a frame, you can strengthen the relationship and show that there is a harmonious relationship between the two people.

Optimal places to hang pictures according to Feng Shui

The bedroom is a place of rest and relaxation. Pictures hanging above your bed are particularly eye-catching. According to Feng Shui, however, you should avoid pictures directly above the head of your bed. According to Feng Shui, the bedroom should be furnished in a clear and structured way so that your sleep is not disturbed. If you want to hang pictures in your bedroom, you should do it on the wall opposite your bed. But even here you should use motifs that inspire you and make you feel positive. After all, the picture in your bedroom is the last thing you see before you go to sleep and the first thing you see when you open your eyes.

According to Feng Shui, you also have to be particularly careful when choosing your pictures for the kitchen and dining room. Because where you eat, the room should be charged with positive energy through your pictures. According to Feng Shui, a very good place for your pictures is opposite the dining table.

According to Feng Shui, wherever your gaze wanders when you are sitting in peace or relaxing are good places for pictures on your wall. Basically, this applies to all places in the room that you look at again and again. This can also be opposite a desk, for example. Or the place you look at when you leave your house or when you come back home. Wall pictures with a positive aura and energy should also hang there.

Basically, you should make sure that you follow reference lines when designing your wall with pictures. This will make the hanging of your wall pictures look much more harmonious. These can be lines that already exist in the room, such as the outlines or corners of door frames, furniture or windows.

According to Feng Shui you should not do this under any circumstances

Multi-part pictures are becoming increasingly popular. This means a single picture that is divided into several parts. According to Feng Shui, modular pictures should be avoided, as the harmony of the entire work is lost. However, if you still want to hang multi-part pictures on canvas, for example, you can find out how it works here.

Photos and pictures of deceased persons should not be hung on the wall but kept in a photo album. These can be pictures of loved ones, grandparents or famous people such as musicians, artists or writers. These photos radiate negative energy and, according to Feng Shui, should never be hung on the wall.

Conclusion: Hanging pictures according to the rules of Feng Shui is suitable for people who want to recharge their energy and create inner balance. Calming pictures as well as images of nature are a real source of harmony according to Feng Shui. The pictures should be hung on the wall or door that you often have in view so that you can use the effect frequently and thus quickly recharge your inner store.
