A common mistake people make when incorporating Feng Shui principles in to their home is to de-personalize their interior space. Somehow in the desire to get the Feng Shui perfect they lose sight of the reason why they are redecorating, to bring balance and harmony to their life. Unless you are selling your home, in which case you may need to tone down your own personal style a little bit, your home should be a reflection of your own personality, it should be a space which you love, which gives a statement to the world of the person that you are. Good Feng Shui is about aligning your own energies with the energy in your immediate environment, it is not about trying to create a perfectly balanced space which looks great but feels impersonal to you. A lot of your time is spent at home and no matter how well you have decorated, the energy is not going to feel positive and harmonious if you feel uncomfortable when you are there.

One of the best ways to personalize your home is to display photos. Everybody love photos and we have photographs displayed in many of the rooms in our home. Photos remind you of good times, help you to feel positive about yourself and spread happiness and joy. Looking at photos that you like, and remembering the time you was having when the photos was taken instantly lifts your spirits and makes you feel happier and more positive as a result.
