Feng Shui Male Living Space
If your male living space feels a little off-center you may need to feng shui your space. Similar to minimalism, feng shui is a design concept founded on the idea that everything in your room serves a purpose and requires an order to balance your inner self.
For example, the typical male living space may have some unnecessary trophies or memorabilia that just takes up too much surface area and creates clutter. For the sophisticated male, an adult living space requires balance and harmony. So what does feng shui look like for your pad? First, start rearranging. You want to create an open concept in your room to give you and others the freedom to move about any which way. For example, if you have a large table and a large couch in the same room, arrange them to be farther apart or have only one item in the room in order to create more space.
Next, optimize your color palette. There is a stereotype that most male color palettes for their home all have to use a dark theme. That’s not always the case, if your space receives a lot of natural light, utilize that in your color palette with lighter tones of greys, purples, and greens for a more comfortable and relaxed vibe. Finally, coordinate your main objects and shapes together. This is a key element of feng shui for your male space, include an even amount of circular objects to rectangular in order to give your room more proportion. Refer to the photo below, there are three circular centerpiece objects and three rectangular; this is a balanced room.
