Very often people are interested in how to properly hang this or that painting according to feng shui rules. And in this topic, I’ll tell you the secrets of how to correctly place feng shui paintings at home. In Feng Shui, special attention is paid to painting, because... According to experts, a painting can bring both happiness, good luck and misfortune to the house. It all depends on what is drawn on it and where it is located.
But, I’ll make a reservation right away, this will only be general advice. After all, an individual apartment is unique, and in order to give advice on each specific apartment, you need to carry out calculations in an individual apartment or house.
Bedroom: hanging paintings in the bedroom according to Feng Shui
The bedroom is the place where we relax and unwind after a busy day at work, and accordingly, the pictures in our bedroom should not be dynamic and aggressive , such as exploding volcanoes, waterfalls, etc. Such pictures will not allow you to rest peacefully. You will always return to the problems and troubles that happened during the day. Therefore, you need to hang calming pictures in the bedroom . It could be a small river with lilies, a pond or a beautiful lake surrounded by birch trees, but make sure that the picture does not give the impression of lethargy and stagnation. The picture should give the impression of a measured life. Also, paintings with water landscapes will not only bring peace, but will also attract money to you.
But paintings with waterfalls and ships have no place near the bed, because... it can ruin your relationship with your spouse and other family members.
When choosing a painting, you should listen to your inner voice and feelings. If, when you see a particular painting, you feel serenity and peace, reliability and protection, then this painting is worth hanging in your bedroom.
Designers and Feng Shui experts strongly advise against hanging pictures on every wall in the bedroom. According to Feng Shui, if there are many paintings hanging in a room, then the energy that each painting carries is mixed, and as a result, you may not get the favorable energy that you would like.
A special ode to peonies
Peonies occupy a special place in the entire flower garden according to Feng Shui. These flowers have such a powerful positive energy that they can be hung as images literally anywhere! Peonies are the best helpers in the search for love, harmony and happiness; they help single people find their match in a matter of months. Many “hardcore bachelors and bachelorettes” have driven their psyche into a corner, cultivating complexes for themselves that do not exist. Peonies break these shackles, give them self-confidence and literally push people towards a happy future and true love. For already married people, peonies help awaken dormant sexuality, enhance passion and discover a different side of attraction to each other.
Delicate peonies on a light background add lightness to the interior
Paintings are not just bright, beautiful color accents in our home; with their skillful and correct placement, you can completely change your life and give it a stable vector in the direction of happiness. And if you have enough money, and even everything is going quite well in your personal life, just in case, it’s still worth posting somewhere a couple of paintings depicting...peonies! They will not let you go astray and will stand guard over your good life, driving away all troubles.
Children's room: feng shui paintings
In order to choose a picture for a nursery , you need to carefully study and take a closer look at your baby. What does he like? What colors does he like best? What colors does he wear? The fact is that children feel positive, pure energy very well, and children know better than we adults what is good for them and what is bad. And, very often, children receive all the benefits through color. If your child loves yellow more, then a painting with the image of the sun will be best suited for his room. If he prefers blue, then in his room, hang a picture with the sea or a lake, etc. The child's temperament also plays an important role in choosing a painting for a child's room .
If your child has a violent temperament, then choose a calmer, less dynamic picture. But, if the baby, on the contrary, does not have enough energy and you want to stir him up, then, on the contrary, hang more “live” energetic pictures. It doesn’t matter which wall you hang the picture on, the main thing is that the child’s gaze always falls on it.
Use of different materials
It is important to know that the use of paintings made from dried flowers, for example, in the Japanese oshibana technique, will bring dead energy into the house, as will dried butterflies (or any other insects) under glass.
The only exceptions are straw and wood, which, on the contrary, spread the positive energy of the sun around themselves.
It is beneficial to use materials such as amber or other stones that emit powerful positive energy. Such paintings are best placed in the northwest, west, northeast, southwest or in the center of the house. It would be useful to place such a picture above the dining table.
But it is not an ordinary panel bought in a store that will have a special energy, but a handmade one. The best option is an embroidered hieroglyph by you personally.
When you are in doubt in which zone to hang a hieroglyph, but at the same time you really want to use it for your home, hang the panel near the front door. There is always a lot of benefit from such pictures.

Feng Shui paintings in the living room
To choose a painting for the living room according to Feng Shui, you need to trust your feelings and intuition. First of all, you need to decide on the color of the painting. If you want to hang a painting in red tones in your living room, then first hang a red fabric the size of the painting on the wall, you must understand whether the painting fits your living room on an energetic level. Monitor your feelings. Do you feel comfortable in the living room? Do you feel any unpleasant feelings? If not, then a painting of this color suits you. And if you feel discomfort and feel that you don’t feel comfortable being in the room, then continue to look for your color for this room. You can even close your eyes and not look at the fabric to fully experience what you are feeling. Only your feelings will help you make the right choice.
Use different images to achieve a specific goal
Attracting money - nature, rich harvest, sailboat, fast-flowing water.
Attracting and maintaining love - swan or goose pair, peonies, poppy (flowers).
To be happy - fish, especially carp and goldfish.
At random - flowers, horses, birds.
Attracting stability – elephant, bamboo.

If you want to have children - an open pomegranate.
To be healthy - trees, stork, deer, heron, turtle. The best option is a crane over a pine tree. In this case, it is desirable that they are made of amber and located in the very center of the room, near the dining table or in the northeast, northwest, west, southwest.
Dining room and kitchen: hanging pictures according to Feng Shui
The kitchen and dining room, as you know, belong to the elements of fire and wood, so in the kitchen, according to Feng Shui, you need to hang pictures with a predominance of green. Green color just supports the element of wood. But try to still have red tones in the picture, because... red supports the element of fire, but in addition, it awakens the appetite and symbolizes the hearth. And the hearth in modern apartments is a stove. Therefore, you can hang a still life in the dining room. When hanging a picture in the dining room, place it so that you and your guests can admire it while sitting.
Paintings with wide, green fields or trees will look good in the kitchen.
Energy of images
Sometimes, looking at a picture, a person feels that he is unable to look away. The phenomenon can be easily explained by the strong energy of the image. This applies to ancient icons, works of famous masters who put strength and energy into their work. The higher their potential, the stronger the energy of the picture.
While working on a painting, the artist fills it with strong energy, so you need to be careful when choosing it
The objects depicted on the canvases also have special energy. The child evokes warm feelings. Aivazovsky's paintings take your breath away from the beauty and majesty of the sea. Thus, each canvas carries a positive or negative charge. It depends on the personality of the artist, the story and the subject of the image.
This should be taken into account when purchasing paintings. Pictures should carry a positive charge
General rules for hanging pictures according to Feng Shui
The first and main rule of hanging paintings according to Feng Shui is to select paintings based on your feelings, and do not be afraid to experiment.
Do not hang pictures in your home that depict ruins, broken trees, broken dishes, poverty, elderly people and predatory animals. There should also be no asymmetry, sharp corners or incomprehensible designs in the paintings. Pictures in heavy, bulky frames are not welcome in any part of the house, so such pictures should be avoided. All the paintings that hang in your home should not evoke negative feelings and remind you of bad things. Pictures should carry the energy of moving forward, prosperity and growth.
If you have the “wrong” apartment, then you can fill in the missing part not only with a mirror, but also with a painting. Hang a picture with a horizon, or with a road that goes into the distance.
And if your desktop is opposite the wall, then you can also hang pictures with the horizon, road or any other perspective on it. All these paintings symbolize advancement, prosperity and success. And on the opposite wall you can hang paintings depicting mountain peaks or green hills. These pictures will make you feel safe.
All of the above rules and tips for hanging pictures according to Feng Shui are general, but they will help improve the energy in your home. Trust your intuition. After all, every person has intuition, and it is this that can help you make your home more comfortable from an energetic point of view.
