Feng Shui Closet DIY

Yes, you can Feng Shui your closet.  Feng Shui is based on the belief that we are affected by our surroundings.  If your closet is in disarray, then chances are, your life is also a mess.

Just think about how much your closet affects your mood.  You get up in the morning, shower and then go straight for the closet to get dressed.  You open the closet door and you will feel something about it.  You’ll either feel like you are ready to select an outfit for the day, or you’ll feel like you just can’t find anything to wear.  Worse yet, you may find it, but it’s wrinkled from being crammed in, or it has fallen to the floor.  Having a disorganized closet definitely puts your day off to a lousy start.

It’s time to Feng Shui your closet.  The principals of Feng Shui allude to the fact that we can either be swimming upstream against life, or we can live in harmony with our surroundings and lead peaceful, productive, happy lives.  Dealing with a messy closet every morning definitely gives you that “swimming upstream” feeling.

The first step is to rid your closet of clutter.  For a free and spacious mind, you need neat and organized spaces.  This means making space.  You want your closet to appear accommodating.  Having room in your closet for new things to come in, influences your way of thinking.  If you are prepared for new things to be welcomed into your home, then you are also free to welcome new people and new experiences into your life.

To be true to the Feng Shui principals, you can’t just hide clutter in a bunch of bins or baskets.  You will still subconsciously know that it is there, hiding just beneath the surface.  Organize drawers, baskets, bins and shelves so that each thing has a specific place.

Feng Shui principals are very strict about separating your surroundings to correspond to different areas of your life.  Your workout clothes, shoes and bags should be in a different area than your work clothing, shoes, stockings, ties, etc.  Casual clothes should be kept separate as well.  If you would like to focus on work when you open the closet, then your work clothes should be in the center.  If you want to be inspired to go running every morning, then your running shoes should be the first thing that you see when you open the door.

Organizing your closet in this manner will help you to focus your energy and use it to your advantage.  Remember to update your closet tools, like your hangers, so that your clothes are not getting bunched up, overlapping or ending up in a pile on the floor.  Using hangers made from natural materials will help you stay in harmony with the earth.  Use wood hangers or bamboo hangers.  They will also make your closet look nice and keep your clothing perfectly separated on the bar.
