Make the Decorating Budget Firm
You dont want to set a decorating budget and then forget about it when you actually start shopping. Keep in mind that you are setting a budget for a reason. You dont necessarily have to get all your decorating done at once. Instead, do only some of the decorating now and then revisit the room and add more items once you have saved some more money. Its best to stick to your budget firmly, no matter what comes up.

You Will Have to Give a Little to Get a Little
With a firm budget in your hand, youre going to have to be flexible and willing to compromise in some areas. If you want the more expensive items that you absolutely have to have, then youll have to go the cheaper route for certain less crucial items. So if youre adamant about adding that coffee table that costs about a third of your budget, then youll have to compensate elsewhere, perhaps spending less on window treatments or picture frames for the wall.

Dont Worry What Other People May Think
Its so easy to get caught up in what other people will think and say. After all, if the figurine you find is perfect for your dcor, does it really matter if you found it at the local discount store? First of all, unless you tell them, nobodys going to know what you paid for items in your room. You need to keep in mind that not everything in your room needs to be of the highest quality. So dont worry about what others may or may not say. If you like something and its inexpensive and it fits in your budget, then go ahead and buy it. Many people find that their least expensive item will garner the most positive attention in a room.

Invest in Quality for the Big Items in the Room
When creating your budget, you need to be sure that youre allocating the majority of the money toward the larger items like a arts & crafts bed in a master bedroom or a dining room table. This way, youll be able to afford quality that will last. Window treatments or other dcor just dont need as much money put into them as items such as wood  furniture, flooring, and artwork. By investing in quality for the larger items like a , you can ensure that those items will last longer and look better. In the end, you might have a high end sofa with inexpensive decorative pillows on it, but as long as you have kept to your final budget, then that will be just fine.

It can sometimes be tempting to throw your budget away and spend more than you can afford. But if you do that, youll remember the debt every time you walk into your redecorated home or room. In the end, negative thought might lead to you not being able to enjoy being in the space. If that becomes the case, then what was the point of spending all that money? Sticking to the budget will not only save you money, it will bring you peace of mind as well.

Feng Shui is the art of attaining equilibrium between the forces of good and evil, the Yin and Yang. It is an ancient system that the Chinese have been practicing since the olden days and it has been adopted in many non-Chinese cultures as well. According to this philosophy the positioning and arrangement in a room can have a positive or negative effect on a person’s health and wealth. Here are five tips to enhance good energy (Chi) flow in our homes.

• The front door should always have a clear path. Do not put objects in front because this will block good energy or Chi and prevent it from flowing into your home.
  
• If your front door is positioned directly in front of a window, put a screen or some furniture in between them to prevent good energy from flowing out right away.
  
• Throw open your curtains and windows everyday to permit fresh morning air and sunshine to come in. Windows that are constantly closed will not allow good Chi to flow in. Open windows are also good for your health because they allow us to breath in fresh air daily. Vacant bedrooms should not left in the dark for a lengthy period of time because this will permit bad Chi to linger.
  
• You should never place plants with thorns such as cactuses inside your home. Instead, decorate your house with round leafed plants, crystals and wind chimes. All these are said to be auspicious and will invite good Chi to come into your home.
  
• Place a fountain or aquarium inside your house. Water attracts good Chi. The best position to place this is in front of the door to invite good energy in. Placing it south-east is said to bring you wealth, east for health, south-west for good luck in marriage, west for friends, north-east for education and north for career enhancement.

In feng shui the kitchen is where the heart is and it represents nourishment and prosperity so you have good energy (‘chi) in your kitchen, which is very important. Believers in feng shui feel that how you decorate and design your kitchen can influence the prosperity and health of all living in that home.

Something to bear in mind when decorating or taking feng shui advice, is that there are many different schools of thought and it is a complex practise, so some recommendations and ideas will vary from school to school and from one practitioner to another. The advice may also differ according to who lives within the home and according to the home itself.

With that being said though, there are some basic feng shui principles that apply to all kitchens.

The placement of the kitchen is particularly important. It should ideally be at the back of the house and the back or front doors should not open into the kitchen as this affects the ‘chi’ or energy of the kitchen. If the kitchen is in the front of your home and facing a front door this is believed to kill any positive energy from entering into the home and this can bring illness and misfortune to those living in the house. However, if the kitchen is in the front of the house, there are some things that can be done to help take care of this. Try hanging some beaded curtains or sheer curtains over the kitchen door.

The kitchen should face to the east so that the morning sun and positive energy or ‘chi’ can filter through and be absorbed into house in the early hours of the morning. This will also promote the element that is represented in the kitchen, this being the fire element.

Some other things to consider when doing your kitchen according to feng shui are:

•Don’t place the sink or the refrigeration beside the oven and the water element (from the sink and the refrigerator extinguishes the beneficial fire energy from the oven.
•Keep pantry doors closed at all times.
•The cabinets must be free of clutter as a disorganized, cluttered cabinet symbolizes extra problems and burdens in your home.
•Don’t place the kitchen underneath an upstairs bathroom or facing a toilet as the water and waste will destroy the energy.
•Make sure the living room, dining room and kitchen are on the same levels.
•Don’t let dirty dishes pile up.
•Don’t leave brooms or mops out store these in a closet with a closed door.
•The shape of the kitchen layout should be rectangular try to avoid having a rounded shaped kitchen.
•Don’t hang a towel through the oven handle.
•If there is a laundry area located in or next to the kitchen, do not allow dirty clothes to pile up.
•According to feng shui,filling the kitchen with fresh food will give you emotional and nutritional health, so have some fresh fruit in a bowl on the counter to help gather good energy.
•All knives and cutlery should not be seen, unless you are using it. Anything sharp represents the cutting of good energy in the home and therefore should not be on display at all in the kitchen.
•By providing a sitting area in the kitchen this symbolizes the support from your friends and family and where ever love and support is there is always good energy that is attached to it.
•By hanging mirrors in the kitchen so that their may appear that there are more burners is believed to increase wealth and finances.
•Copper pans and pots are also said to attract positive ‘chi’ or energy.
•Potted plants or herbs put out facing south or east is believed to bring prosperity.
•Colors to use in the kitchen according to feng shui are red, yellow and green.
•The stove location should face the living room or dining room when using it. In feng shui, it is believed that the frequent use of the stove symbolizes potential growth in all aspects of life.

In feng shui, it is believed, that the more your kitchen is clean, welcoming and warm, the more well rounded and healthy you are.
