Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of harmonizing energy in your environment, teaches that the items you choose to place in your home directly influence your well-being, mood, and prosperity.
Whether you’re seeking peace, abundance, love, or clarity, incorporating the right Feng Shui elements can dramatically shift the energy in your space.
Here are 26 items that can invite positive chi (life force energy) into your home.
1. Crystals
Crystals like amethyst, rose quartz, and citrine are powerful energy amplifiers. Place them in different parts of your home depending on the energy you want to attract—rose quartz in the bedroom for love, citrine in the living room for abundance, and black tourmaline near the entrance for protection.
2. Indoor Plants
Healthy green plants symbolize life, growth, and vitality. They purify the air and uplift the energy of a space. Choose plants like jade, bamboo, or peace lilies, which are highly regarded in Feng Shui.
3. Water Fountain
Water represents wealth in Feng Shui. A small indoor water fountain in the southeast corner of your home or office can stimulate abundance and attract financial luck.
4. Mirrors
Mirrors reflect energy. When placed strategically, they can expand space and bounce positive energy around the room. Avoid mirrors facing beds or doors directly, as they can disturb restful energy.
5. Laughing Buddha
The Laughing Buddha is a symbol of joy, abundance, and prosperity. Place it in your entryway or living room to bring light-hearted energy into your home.
6. Wind Chimes
Wind chimes clear stagnant chi and promote harmony. Hang them near windows or doors to keep energy circulating. Metal chimes are best in the west or northwest sectors.
7. Candles
Candles bring the fire element into your home, which is linked to inspiration, passion, and transformation. Choose soothing scents and colors aligned with your desired energy.
8. Salt Lamps
Himalayan salt lamps purify air and create a calm, soothing atmosphere. They’re perfect for bedrooms or meditation spaces to promote relaxation and mental clarity.
9. Incense
Burning incense such as sandalwood, sage, or palo santo helps cleanse the energy of your space. Use it mindfully to set intentions and remove negativity.
10. Lucky Bamboo
Lucky bamboo symbolizes strength, flexibility, and growth. It is often used in Feng Shui to enhance prosperity, especially when arranged with specific numbers of stalks (e.g., 3 for happiness, 5 for health, 8 for wealth).
11. Mandala Art
Mandala art symbolizes balance, unity, and spiritual connection. Hang mandalas in your meditation or creative space to inspire mindfulness and inner harmony.
12. Red Envelopes
In Feng Shui, red envelopes filled with coins or symbolic items represent blessings and financial luck. Keep one in your wallet or place a few discreetly in your wealth area (southeast corner).
13. Fresh Flowers
Fresh flowers brighten the space and uplift mood. They represent beauty and natural life energy. Just be sure to remove wilted flowers immediately, as they can attract stagnant energy.
14. Essential Oil Diffuser
Aromatherapy aligns with the Feng Shui goal of creating a healing, peaceful environment. Lavender, orange, peppermint, and frankincense are great options to refresh and energize a room.
15. Wooden Furniture
Wood is one of the five Feng Shui elements and symbolizes growth and vitality. Incorporate solid wooden furniture or decor items to introduce natural warmth and grounded energy.
16. Dragon Turtles
A powerful Feng Shui symbol combining the dragon and the turtle, this figure represents protection, career success, and longevity. Place it behind you on your desk or in your home office.
17. Family Photos
Personalized energy is key in Feng Shui. Display happy family photos in the living room to foster love and connectedness. Avoid placing family pictures in the bedroom if you want to focus on intimacy with a partner.
18. Aromatic Herbs
Herbs like lavender, rosemary, basil, and sage carry strong energetic signatures. Grow them in the kitchen or keep dried bundles around the home to promote healing and freshness.
19. Feng Shui Coins
These Chinese coins tied with red ribbon are believed to attract wealth and prosperity. Hang them on your front door handle or place them in your wallet or near the cash register if you run a business from home.
20. Dream Catcher
Though not traditional to Feng Shui, dream catchers can complement your energy work. Hang one above the bed to filter out negative energy and promote restful sleep.
21. Music or Singing Bowls
Sound plays a key role in energy flow. Tibetan singing bowls or even gentle music can shift the frequency of your home’s energy. Use them during meditation or cleaning rituals.
22. Proper Lighting
Good lighting is essential in Feng Shui. Dim corners represent stagnant energy. Use warm, layered lighting like floor lamps and candles to create a balanced, uplifting space.
23. Sacred Symbols
Use symbols that resonate with your spiritual beliefs—Om, lotus, Tree of Life, or even religious icons—to create a high-frequency atmosphere in your sacred space.
24. Artwork That Evokes Joy
Art influences mood and energy. Avoid pieces that depict sorrow or loneliness. Choose artwork that radiates joy, abundance, or serenity to cultivate a positive emotional climate.
25. Colorful Throw Pillows and Textiles
Color is a key Feng Shui tool. Incorporate rich reds for passion, green for health, yellow for happiness, and blue for peace. Swap out textiles seasonally to reflect the changing energy.
26. Clean, Organized Entryway
The entryway is called the “mouth of chi.” It’s where energy enters your home. Keep it clean, uncluttered, and inviting. A welcome mat, potted plant, and a mirror (not directly facing the door) can energize this area and set a harmonious tone for the entire house.
Feng Shui is not about superstition; it’s about creating intentional, energetic alignment between you and your environment. Each item you choose to bring into your home carries a vibration—so choose wisely, choose meaningfully, and you’ll create a space that supports your goals, dreams, and overall well-being.
When your home feels balanced and energized, life flows more easily—and joyfully.
