Quick Tip
The best Feng Shui decorating tip I learned was to remove all items from a room before decorating.

Simple Steps for Clearing A Room

1. Remove all small stuff and place them in boxes.
2. Remove all furniture, regardless of size. If there is no room, place the furniture at one side of the room.
3. Clean the room from top to bottom. Clean the walls, floors, and windows.
4. Start with the paint colors on the wall. Decide what the purpose of the room is. Choose soft colors for a balanced room and bright colors for a game room or entertaining room.
5. Only return stuff to the room that has a purpose. For each item, ask what is its purpose. If it does not have a purpose, keep it in the box.
6. Simple and clean is better than cluttered and overwhelming. You can always add things from the boxes at a later date.
7. After you add an item to the room, just sit for a moment and feel the energy of the room. If the item brings a smile, comfort..., keep it. If the item brings aggravation, anger..., give it away and put it away in the box.
8. Remove big items as well. Do not keep a piece of furniture because it was a big expense. Only keep furniture that has a purpose.
