Hi, dear vibrant soul!!!
Interior design goes far beyond aesthetics. It has the power to influence the energy of the space and, consequently, the well-being of its residents.
Professionals who wish to integrate more conscious approaches into their projects can rely on techniques such as Feng Shui , Vastu Shastra , Wabi-Sabi and others , which balance the energy of the environment and promote health, functionality and harmony.
With this in mind, I decided to develop a reference to help you start applying these concepts to your projects, so I created a comprehensive Environmental Therapy Checklist , aimed at interior professionals who want to incorporate these concepts into their projects in a practical and effective way.
1️⃣ Initial Space Assessment
Before any change, it is essential to understand the energy of the environment and the client's goals.
🔹 Mapping the energies
Identify the central points of balance, such as Tai Chi in Feng Shui or Brahmasthan in Vastu Shastra.
Analyze whether there is stagnant energy or subtle blockages that affect the fluidity of the space.
🔹 Understand the structure of the place
Size and proportion of rooms.
Quality of natural light and ventilation.
Presence of physical or energetic barriers (poorly positioned furniture, disorganization, closed corridors).
🔹 Client goals
What is he looking for? More harmony, productivity, creativity, tranquility?
Which style resonates most with your essence (minimalism, rustic, natural, modern)?
2️⃣ Organization and Energy Flow
🔹 Functional Positioning
Avoid blocked hallways or furniture that interrupts the flow of energy.
Leave the center of the environment free , promoting balance and expansion.
🔹 Balance of the Five Elements (Feng Shui & Vastu) Each element must be present in the environment to create harmony:
✔ Wood – Represents growth (plants, wooden furniture).
✔ Fire – Symbolizes energy and motivation (lighting, candles).
✔ Earth – Stability and safety (ceramics, stones).
✔ Metal – Mental clarity and precision (metallic objects).
✔ Water – Flow and renewal (fountains, mirrors).
🔹 Avoid Stagnant Energy
Rearrange heavy furniture to allow for a more natural flow.
Use light colors in small spaces to increase the perception of space.
3️⃣ Aesthetic and Emotional Integration
🔹 Incorporate Wabi-Sabi
Appreciate imperfection and nature – handcrafted pieces, rustic textures and aged materials add authenticity to the space.
Opt for a soft, earthy color palette to create a welcoming, balanced environment.
🔹 Adapt the decoration to the client's energy
Each object has an energetic meaning. Encourage the use of pieces that bring back good memories and positive emotions.
Avoid excessive decoration to avoid creating a feeling of mental heaviness.
4️⃣ Nature and Sustainability
Connection with nature is essential for a healthy and balanced environment.
🔹 Plants for purification and vital energy
Ferns and Peace Lilies to purify the air.
Lavender and Rosemary for a calming and restorative vibe.
🔹 Sustainable and natural materials
Wood, cotton, linen and stone are options that provide comfort and harmony.
Choose furniture and objects from sustainable or recycled sources.
🔹 Taking advantage of natural light
Use light curtains to allow sunlight in.
Position mirrors to reflect lighting and increase the feeling of space.
5️⃣ Energy Correction of the Environment
🔹 Feng Shui Techniques
Mirrors : well positioned, they amplify energy and unblock stagnant areas.
Colors : Activate different areas of the Bagua. Example:
Green 🍃 – Growth and health.
Red 🔥 – Energy and success.
Blue 🌊 – Serenity and concentration.
🔹 Corrections by Vastu Shastra
Align your bed and work desk with auspicious directions.
Use crystals and yantras to transmute dense energies.
6️⃣ Creating a Sensory-Friendly Space
🔹 Aromas and Lighting
Essential oils such as lavender and orange help to harmonize the energy of the space.
Opt for warm, soft lights to create a more relaxing environment.
🔹 Textures and Sounds
Mix cozy textures like shag rugs, soft pillows, and natural wood.
Incorporate relaxing sounds, such as water fountains or soft music.
7️⃣ Space Maintenance and Evolution
Environments need to be updated as the client’s life changes.
🔹 Stay organized
Too many objects can overload the energy of the home. Encourage detachment and constant renewal.
Use dividers and organizers to reduce visual noise.
🔹 Periodically reassess the energy of the space
Adjust furniture, colors and objects according to the client's life stage.
8️⃣ Holistic Integration
Each philosophy contributes uniquely to the project:
✨ Vastu Shastra provides the energetic structure and alignment.
✨ Feng Shui optimizes the distribution of energy and elements in space.
✨ Wabi-Sabi brings natural beauty and comfort to the environment.
The combination of these techniques creates more balanced, healthy and harmonious spaces , promoting physical, mental and energetic well-being.
