Balancing Home Decor

Yin-Yan

Yin-Yan, or yin and yang, is a Chinese philosophical idea that describes two oppositional aspects of a process, phenomena, or object that work together to form a complementary whole.  Though yin and yang are opposing components, they are also inextricably linked.  The concept of “unity in duality” is present in the philosophy of several other cultures, and the Yin-Yan symbol is a widely recognized symbol for balance across the world.

 

Many tattoo enthusiasts have the Yin-Yan symbol inked into their skin, and the symbol is available on almost any form of merchandise that could have it printed or applied in some fashion.  A home decor accent bearing the Yin-Yan symbol can provide a cleansing breath for any room.

What is Feng Shui?

Feng shui is an ancient Chinese practice believed to utilize the Laws of both heaven (astronomy) and earth (geography) to help one improve life by receiving positive Qi. The original designation for the discipline is Kan Yu.

 

The words ‘feng shui’ literally translate as “wind-water”in English. This is a cultural shorthand taken from the following passage of the Book of Burial by Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty:

 

Qi rides the wind and scatters, but is retained when encountering water.

 

Many modern enthusiasts claim that feng shui is the practice of arranging objects (such as furniture) to help people achieve their goals. More traditionally, feng shui is important in choosing a place to live and finding a burial site, along with agricultural planning.
Proponents claim that feng shui has an effect on health, wealth and personal relationships.

Scenery Screen

What I like most about the scenery screen that I have in my walls is the different accent it creates; making my plain and simple wall in the living room more interesting to look at. With its various designs, it truly serves as a very lovely adornment to my home.  It compliments well with the rest of my furnishings.
           
Nowadays, having a well decorated home should never be expensive.  Just like the ones that can be found in this online catalog, all decorative and functional with prices that would suit every budget.
