Whether you’re single and dating or in a committed long-term relationship, everyone could use a little more romance in their life. Romantic relationships require plenty of work to maintain their strength and vitality, especially if it has endured for many years. In fact, a lack of romance in relationships is one of the leading causes in emotional breakdowns and stagnancy.

Endure past the honeymoon period and give new life to your relationship by optimizing energy with feng shui. An ancient Chinese practice and home decor style, feng shui focuses on the energy (also referred to as “chi”) flowing throughout the home.SimplyWomanBagua

To start creating more positive vibes, use a bagua chart. Align the chart with the main entrance of your home to divide your floorplan into nine different sections. These sections correspond with individual life areas that commonly affect daily events. Energy influences each room, as well as your home as a whole. When considering romantic relationships, focus on the far-right corner.

The relationship sector has colors, accents, materials and shapes that most impact the state of chi within a space. The colors that most communicate positivity in romantic relationships is pink hues so look for accents or paints that match this sentiment. Additionally, the most important accents you can add come in pairs. Foster togetherness and companionship by having several matching sets: think throw pillows, table lamps and houseplants.

Furthermore, the five feng shui elements heavily control the energy of a space. The element that most affects romantic relationships is fire; illuminating one’s inner light and helping passion or romance thrive. The fire element does well when implementing red colors, well-lit spaces and adding star or triangular shapes to an area.

There are also many individual arrangement techniques to ensure positive chi is flowing through your living spaces. The bedroom is the most effective area to optimize for relationships due to its intimate nature.

  1. Get Cozy: The bed is vital in feng shui for balancing energy. From the type of mattress you use, to the bed frame that holds it, be sure to do everything in a deliberate fashion. Choose a mattress that helps you get a good night’s sleep to boost your mood when dealing with each day’s routines. Make sure your bed frame isn’t loose and doesn’t have cutouts. Your bed should be the most secure place in the room — avoid instability by having a solid base.
  2. Positional Promise: To go along with the staple piece of the space, try to place the bed in the commanding position. This position is diagonal to the entrance of the room but not directly across from it. Avoid placing the bed under windows or beams to promote certainty. Having a clear view of anything that could possibly threaten your ability to sleep or have safety will give you clarity and peace of mind.
  3. Pair It Up: As mentioned earlier, pairing objects is key to influencing romantic relationships. Pairs cause positive energy to flow through the space. Also, symmetry is crucial to feng shui practices. Symmetry creates balance between the space and outside elements that may have an impact on the overall chi of a room.
  4. Keep Things Light: Stay away from heavy, bulky art that may block and prevent energy from passing through your bedroom. Instead, choose canvas art or tapestries that inspire. Don’t forget about the fire element’s influence on romantic relationships either, candles or string lighting are great options to consider.
  5. Room for One: Whether you’re single, married or dating, be sure to only decorate with photos of those actually inhabiting the space. This means that if you have a partner not completely moved in and living in your home, save their photos for use in other rooms. If you are single, your bedroom is the most important place for self-reflection and growth. Take advantage of this time you have with some great exercises to help focus energy on yourself like self-care regimens, expressing gratitude or reciting encouraging affirmations.
