5 Feng Shui Tips for Creating an Environmentally Sustainable Home
In honor of Arbor Day, let’s talk about the environment and feng shui. When I consult home builders, I suggest that they incorporate environmentally sustainable practices such as the simple tips below that anyone can do. We’re doing our part to help the planet while also bringing positive energy and harmony to the living space.
Here are 5 feng shui tips for creating an environmentally sustainable home:
- Bring in natural elements. Incorporating natural elements, such as plants, wood, and stone, can bring balance and harmony to your space. They are aesthetically pleasing and can help purify the air – promoting a healthier living environment.
- Use energy-efficient appliances and lighting. In feng shui, wood elements represent growth and abundance. Choosing energy-efficient appliances and lighting saves money on energy costs and invites in abundance.
- Incorporate eco-friendly materials. When renovating or decorating, choose eco-friendly materials like recycled or sustainable wood, low-VOC paint, and organic fabrics. They are better for the environment and improve the energy flow in the home.
- Enhance the flow of water. Water is associated with wealth and abundance in feng shui. Use water features, such as a fountain or fish tank, to enhance the flow of water and invite abundance. Just be sure to maintain your water features using environmentally friendly cleaning products and practices.
- Use natural light. Maximizing the use of natural light in your home saves energy and improves energy flow in a space. Keep windows clean and open your curtains each day to allow natural light to enter your home.
By incorporating these feng shui tips, you can create an environmentally sustainable home that is better for the planet and brings in positive energy.

Feeling Secure with the Command Position in Feng Shui
Do you ever get the feeling that someone is watching over your shoulder? Do you fear someone sneaking up on you? Maybe it’s as simple as the layout of your furniture. Feng shui can help.
I teach my clients that the command position is an important concept in feng shui because it influences the energy flow in a space. Simply, where you place furniture in a room will affect your sense of security.
In feng shui, you achieve the command position by positioning your furniture like your bed or desk so that you have a clear view of the entrance to the room. By doing so, you’ll have a greater sense of security and control. You’ll see anyone entering the room and will be less likely to get caught off guard.
In your bedroom, for example, your bed should be placed diagonally across from the door (not directly in line with the door), with the head of your bed against a solid wall. This allows you to see the door while lying down. It will also provide a sense of support from the solid wall behind you.
In your workspace – even your home office – be sure to place your desk so that you have a clear view of the entrance to the room. Again, try to have your back near a solid wall. This will help increase your focus and productivity, as well as reduce distractions and your feelings of unease. I’ll let you in on a secret – it also gives others the feeling that you’re in control.
Wherever possible, try to use the same key concepts with other locations where you relax and work. Think of how you can maximize the use of the command position in your workshop, living room, kitchen, and even your dining room. They call it the head of the table because you see everything from the command position.
In addition to furniture placement, other feng shui factors like lighting, color, elements, and decor can also influence the command position of your space. Make intentional choices by paying attention to these details so that you’ll feel supported, energized, and empowered.
Simple feng shui changes to your environment can have significant results on how you feel in your daily life. Once you understand and apply the concept of the command position in your own home and office, you’ll create a more harmonious and balanced environment that supports your well-being and success.
