One of the most significant things you can do for good feng shui in your home is to keep the windows clean and clear. You can influence your home’s ch’i in a helpful way by covering your windows with pleasant window treatments that permit the most natural light to enter during the day and give privacy at night.

Windows are often called “the eyes of the home” and, in feng shui, windows are linked to your potential to see clearly in life.

When it comes to the feng shui of your window treatments, you have to make sure that your improvements add to the decor of your home and don’t away from it. Subtle feng shui or that is done within the guidelines of good interior design is the best feng shui.

In order to promote good, healthy energy you should go with draperies and curtains that are made from natural fabrics like cotton, silk or wool. If you decide that blinds would fit best with your home decor, opt for wood as opposed to plastic. Stay away from any synthetic materials as this is very bad for your home’s feng shui. Shades can be implemented into your home’s feng shui as well, but it might be best to stay away from accordion folded shades as they tend to create a sharper quality of energy during the daytime when they are folded.

Also, make sure the material and color of your window treatments is suitable for the room’s decor and for the bagua area. Bagua is used in feng shui to find out which part of your home connects with a particular situation in your life. You can use a bagua diagram to figure out what colors are suitable for each area of your home.

These are some basic feng shui guidelines to follow for your home’s window treatments, but if you don’t know very much about feng shui, it is always best to have a professional help you with your decorating endeavors.
