The key to make your home a wow factor to attract a buyer’s offer is to infuse it with a large dose of yang chi (vibrant energy) both inside and out. The goal is to hold the potential buyer immediately by invigorating the home with shimmering, welcoming energy that mesmerizes and inspires the sale.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS GO A VERY LONG WAY, remove all clutter from the driveway or walkway. (This includes the garbage cans if they are placed in view). Clear the pathway up to the front door. Place bright sweet smelling flowers on each side of the front door in pots and keep the front garden perfectly
 pruned and tended to. This front space of every home is called the BRIGHT HALL and it represents luck and success. All dead energy here must be removed. Fresh paint at the gate, a bright new welcome mat, squeaky clean windows all create the aura of a vibrant home well cared for and loved.

BRING IN PLENTY OF SUNLIGHT throughout the entire home with lights if the sun is not shining. Take down dingy drapes. Tie clean perfectly fresh curtains back to reveal the graceful energy of the cosmos. Use the morning sunlight to enervate the home and fill it with light. If your entrance is small, paint one wall a bright different color using taste and panache. Make sure there is one room close to the entrance where the buyer can experience a wonderful positive energy. Remove excess furniture and do not overdo things. Quiet elegant simplicity goes a long way. A couple of unique art pieces, statues, plants or bowls embellish any space and make it richer and unforgettable. Make the house look twice as big by removing half of the normal furniture. Place the bed in the master bedroom against the main wall and keep the room fresh, crisp, and smelling sweet. Before the open house, use a singing bowl or ring metal bells in every room to awaken the sleeping energy. Go around the windows, doors, bedrooms, and bath to clear way negative vibes or illness that may have settled. This habit of space clearing is powerful and potent and should be repeated before every showing.

NOTHING SAYS STABILITY like a gorgeous well oiled, perfectly sized sturdy front door. Feng shui philosophy pays enormous attention to the front door, the mouth of chi, as it is the entrance, the major attraction that sets the stage for all the players to come inside. It is a good idea to change the main door handles so that the serious perspective buyer opens the door and connects to the home with his/her own fresh energy. Freshen your door with a new coat of paint. Oil it so there are no squeaks and remove anything (plants, shoes, tennis rackets, etc.) that might be blocking the incoming path of energy. Stand inside the door looking out with your compass in hand and determine the facing direction of your front door. Energize your main door. If your door faces South, use a bright light shining downwards towards the door. If your door faces North, place a 6 rod wind chime there. If your door faces East or Southeast, place a water feature near it. If your door faces West or Northwest, place golden rocks near the door. If your door faces Northeast or Southwest, place crystals, lights and a chandelier there to attract good fortune.

KEEP A LIGHT TURNED ON in the SOUTH corner room that greets the visitor. Lights are wonderful feng shui enhancers. Flower lights, uplights, sconces and lamps all work their wonders. Also, light up the corner diagonal to the entrance door. This light beckons the buyer in and has a powerful pull and attraction. Hang a six rod metal wind chime here as well. If you have them, place one, eight or nine horses (statues or pictures work perfectly) in the SOUTH of the entire home. With a compass, locate the SOUTH location and place your symbolic horses there to activate robust and auspicious energy.

CLEAR THE HOME OF PERSONAL MEMENTOS like photographs. Hide private items and release new welcoming energy so that a buyer can feel comfortable and cozy taking up the space. Depersonalize the space and allow it to be released to someone new. Sometimes a conscious intent (either spoken aloud or whispered quietly) works wonders. Make up your own or use a favorite of mine, “Today I gracefully and gladly relinquish my desires, memories, attachments to this home and offer them up to the Universe so that I can move on with my life” .“Today I gracefully and gladly relinquish my desires, memories, attachments to this home and offer them up to the Universe so that I can move on with my life” Try these simple and easy feng shui practices and watch what happens. You will be amazed how positive, quick and easy selling your home will be. Greet your buyers with warm welcoming chi and remember to relax and let the enhanced power of the Universe work it’s wonders.

De-clutter, depersonalize, think positive and great joy will be with you.

Red Dupion Silk Curtain

Happy Saturday morning everyone, so nice you have tuned in to read my blog again. . .

I am sipping on a cup of lovely Blue Mountain Jamaican coffee before getting ready to go to the Tomfoolery 18th birthday celebration in Muswell Hill, North London.

My blog today is about curtains and curtain styles that will suit any room in you home or office, as we all know the windows are the eyes of the room and the curtains the focal point, so NEVER underestimate their impact. A window treatment that harmonizes with it’s surroundings will always be the most successful when deciding how to curtain a window, choose a style that – in addition to flattering the shape of the window and complements the architectural style of the room or other important elements within it, which may be the wall coverings, the furniture or some of the accessories. However eclectic the assortment of furnishings and possessions in the room,there is almost always a strong stylistic theme connecting them that gives each room it’s character. Identifying that essential character and you have the clue to the type of window dressing and even the type of fabric the room needs.

Here are a few curtain and drape styles that would look lovely in any room of your home.

The Living Room Curtains

These curtains are from ceiling to floor and falls in a slight heap on the floor giving it an elegant look and also creates height in the room.

Swag and tails

These Swag and Tails Drapes are custom made and are a wonderful and perfect fit for the windows and the room . . . you cannot beat the look of a custom made to a factory made set.

This set says luxury!

Crystal Curtains

A fun way to separate tables in a commercial setting, these Crystal curtains will sparkle and shine in the light of the room and reflect different colours as the light catches it.

Muslin with Trimmings

These sheer set of Muslin curtains are a good set for a bedroom or living room that does not need a heavier set, it allows some light to come in while still giving the occupant pravicy.

Two Toned With Contrast Colour

Neat pencil pleated curtains with contrast borders to add interest to any room.

Curtains protect your furnishings in your home from the sun also and gives privacy and charm to a room and remember there is none other like  made to measure curtains to add elegance to any room.

Interior Designer, North London

Improving your home by adding an extra room is what most people are doing these days especially since the property market is not as it should be at the moment, rather than going through the upheaval  of moving can be an attractive proposition especially if you are also running out of space, maybe you have an extra member in the family or simply just want to add more space.

A conservetory is an addition which will provide a pleasant dual-purpose room. Or you might prefer to add an extension at the back of your house to enlarge your kitchen or living area, or to provide a new kitchen, utility area, a separate dining room, green house or a playroom.

It is a wise investment to any property and the look can be very impressive if designed to a modern architecture. Glass or glass and wood are my favs, depending on you budget one can be simple and modest or more extravagant.

We enjoy adding extensions as it allow us to get very creative and go as far as building permission permits.

Enjoy these images and please feel free to share you ideas and images with us.

It is so good to be posting my blogs again!  I have not had the oppotunity to post any blogs lately as I have been so very busy doing an AutoCAD and 3ds Max exams with Autodesk. AutoCAD (computed aided design)  is a great tool to create and render with my designs for clients who want to see the design before it is actully done.

My new project  at the moment are four doctor’s offices in the City of London, and I am very excited (as I am with all my projects) about designing them. Our design firm Andreafay interior design were commissioned to decorate and design with FF&E these offices.

While doing some research on colours to use I came across an article I would love to share with you. The article talks about the Luscher Colour Test ,  the colours he used were selected for  associations with physical and mental states.  He showed how our attraction to colours gives information about your personality.  He used 8 colours, and interpreted the results according to the order the person listed the 8 colours, depending on how those colours appealed to them. I have used information from this test, in addition to other sources, for the ‘Colour Personality’ sections below.

Colours and how colours can set your mood and lift your spirits in home or office.

Red

A powerful, energy-filled colour, associated with life and vitality.  Red relates to the physical body:  it stimulates us and raises the heart rate.  It has the longest wavelength and slowest vibration of all the colours.   Good for helping us to focus on tasks that require attention to detail.

Promotes:  stimulates body (including circulation, intestine and appetite), lively, energising, happiness.  When used with its complementary colour of turquoise, red may help to counteract infections.  The red is thought to increase blood supply to the area, and the turquoise to cleanse and reduce inflammation.  Good for depression & negativity, initiative and motivation.

Complementary colour  for red is Turquoise . . .

Use in the a small space can make a space look smaller, and therefore be claustrophobic or oppressive.  When used well, red can make a room feel warm & cosy.  Often used in restaurants or to create intimacy in a room.

Colour Personality:

Choice of red as your favourite colour means you are impulsive, sexy and have a will to win.  You are a good leader.  You want to expand your horizons and live a life to the full.  Red as your least favourite colour means your desire for life and thirst for adventure have become less.

Leadership, competitive, exhausting, extremist, focused, energetic, physical, healthy, vital.

You have enormous drive, but there may be too much going on in your life.  To feel more serene, and for a natural detox, wear turquoise.

Orange

A joyous colour.   It frees and releases emotions and releases feelings of self-pity, lack of self worth and unwillingness to forgive.  It stimulated the mind and renews interest in life.  It is a natural anti-depressant and lifts the spirit.  A fun & sociable colour, although too much can contribute to frivolity and a lack of serious intellectual values.  Orange is for independence and happiness.  The energy of creation. Orange is thought to bring about changes in the biochemical structure, resulting in the dispersing of depression.  It is said that it has been shown to be beneficial in chronic bronchitis, and due to its anti-spasmodic effect, helps in muscle spams and cramp.

Promotes:  vitality, stimulation, self-esteem, independence, inner strength, optimism, creativity, self-expression, happiness, broadens and opens up the mind to new ideas and perspectives.

Orange is good for:  depression, low self-esteem, bereavement and sexual problems.

Complementary colour   Light Blue

Use in the home or  any activity or creative area.  Not ideal for bedrooms or areas of possible stress,  said to stimulate the appetite, so good for dining rooms.

Colour Personality: Demonstrative, constructive, energetic, excitable, sociable, outgoing, hasty, confident, joyous.

Yellow

A  happy, bright and uplifting colour.  It also stimulates the mind, intellect, emotions and contributes to the expression of thoughts.  It therefore aids memory, clear thinking, decision making and good judgement.  It facilitates good organisation, and enables us to see different points of view.

It builds self confidence and encourages optimism.  However, yellow can also be associated with fear and cowardice.  Too much yellow can cause loss of self esteem and self confidence.   Yellow can reveal a person’s weaknesses and help to release deep-seated problems.   It is thought to be effective in improving skin conditions such as eczema.

Promotes:  self-confidence and respect, will-power, self-control, ability to rationalise and reason, intellectual and mental stimulation, flexible thinking, contentment, empowerment

Good for:    indigestion, depression, sensitivity to criticism, stress, negativity, difficulty in thinking clearly

Complementary colour     Magenta

Use in the home, activity rooms, play rooms, entrance halls, study.  Not suitable for bedrooms as it can interfere with sleep.  Not ideal for areas of possible stress.

Colour Personality

If yellow is your favourite colour means you are ambitious and eager to please.  If yellow is your 2nd, 3rd, or 4th favourite colour, you are positive, optimistic and look to the future, never backwards.  You find life easy, and problems just don’t exist for you.  Free from worry, you lead a carefree life; but this does not mean you are lazy.  You can be extremely hard working, although not consistently.  When yellow is one of your least favourite colours, you have had your hopes and dreams dashed, and you may feel isolated and disappointed, often becoming defensive and withdrawn, co-ordinated, domineering, intellectual, courageous, responsible, insecure, achiever, sociable, warm.

Green

Has a strong affinity with nature, and helps us to connect to others and to the natural world.  It is the colour of balance.  It gives a feeling of comfort and relaxation, calmness and space.  It reduces stress, soothing and steadying our emotions.  Green may also have antiseptic properties, and thought to destroy embryonic cell structure.

Promotes:   Balanace, personal development, self-acceptance, compassion for self and others.

Good for:   Stress, fear, self-pity, confusion.  Physical health problems, nausea, cancer treatment, heart problems, blood pressure problems, immune system problems, fatigue, headaches, flu symptoms.

Complementary colour       Violet / Purple

Use in the Home or Office:

Depending on shade, can be used in most areas.   Anywhere you need to relax.  Use with other colours to avoid balance and harmony becoming more like total inactivity and indecision.

Colour Personality

Green as your favourite colour, means you are persistent, possessive and quite selfish.  You are a high achiever and an accumulator of “things” – like a penthouse, a Rolex, holiday flat, CD player.  If green is down the list of your favourite colours, your ego has been bruised and you have been humbled by the resistance to your progress.  Consequently, you can be highly critical, sarcastic and stubborn.

In equilibrium, conscientious, circumspect, harmonious, understanding, contented, cautious, reserved, tidy.

Turquoise

Invigorating, cooling and calming.  It is good for mental strain (nervous system), immune system and tiredness.  It is helpful for feelings of loneliness, and heightens communication, sensitivity and creativity.   Turquoise is thought to cleanse and reduce inflammation.

Promotes:  physical healing, cleanliness, personal relationships, sharing.

Good for:  inflammatory conditions, immune problems.

Complementary colour Red

Use in the Home or Office -

Any room although it’s not ideal for activity areas.

Colour personility -

Blue

Calming, relaxing, soothing, cooling.  Midnight blue has a strong sedative effect, allowing us to connect to our intuitive and feminine side.  Good for creativity, and encouraging creative thinking.  However, too much dark blue can be depressing.  Blue affects our minds rather than our bodies.  Blue can reduce inflammation, and be useful for stings and headaches.

Promotes:   calm, peace, relaxation, slowing down, steadying, self-expression, intuition, honesty, truth, cleansing, soothing.

Good for:  infections with fever or inflammation, stings, headaches, period pains, insomnia,  stress, anxiety, obsessions, psychoses and learning difficulties.

Use in the Home or Office

Suitable for quiet places and bedrooms, private retreats.  Possibly in a study.

Violet and Purple

Balance the mind and help transform obsessions and fears.   Violet and Purple bring peace, and combat fear.  Violet has the shortest wavelength of all the colours.  They are also associated with artistic and musical ability, stimulating creativity, inspiration, sensitivity, spirituality and compassion.  They are very introvertive, causing us to look within ourselves, encouraging contemplation and meditation.  It enhances purpose and dignity.  However, too much violet or purple can cause too much introspection.  Violet is said to be very beneficial for psychological disorders, and all disorders relating to the nervous system.

Promotes:  inspiration, imagination, empathy, self-respect, dignity, spirituality, intuition, clarity, confidence.

Complementary colour      Green

Use in the Home or Office

Places of worship.   Pale violet in bedrooms.

Magenta

Uplifting when feeling angry and despondent.  It is associated with compassion, support and kindness. Avoid if feeling chronically depressed.  Magenta is a combination of red and violet, thus combining our physical self with our spiritual self, balancing body and spirit.  Magenta enables us to let go, and move with the flow of life.  Letting go of routine, feelings, ideas and emotions.   Magenta is said to be useful in the treatment of tinnitus, benign cysts and for detached retinas.

Promotes:  letting go of the past, blood supply to the brain, stimulates nervous system.

Good for:   headaches, tinnitus, aggression.

Complementary colour    Green or Turquoise

Use in the Home or Office

Pink

Emotionally soothing and calming, pink gives a feeling of warmth and nuturing.  It reduces feelings of irritation and aggression, alleviates loneliness, oversensitivity and vulnerability.  Whilst red relates to sexuality, pink is associated with unconditional love.  Too much pink can be emotionally draining.

Promotes:  calming spirit, clear thinking, sensitivity, compassion, kindness, forgiveness.

Complementary colour      Pale Green

Use in the Home or Office

White

The colour of purity.  It contains all the colours of the spectrum, and therefore brings peace, comfort, and alleviates despair and emotional shock, facilitating inner cleansing of emotions, thoughts and spirit.    However, too much white can be cold and isolating.  White is unforgiving and uncompromising.

Promotes:  Cleansing, clarifying, hopefulness

Use in the Home or Office

Black

Comforting, protective and mysterious.  Associated with silence, and the infinite.

Promotes:  Self-discipline, strength, liberation, reveals hidden potential.  Energy anchor.

Use in the Home or Office

When used with another colour, enhances the energy of that second colour.  Gives space for reflection and inner searching.  Use as highlight colour in accessories such as picture frames or lamp bases, etc.

Brown

The colour of Mother Earth, brown brings stability and alleviates insecurity.  It can also relate to repressed emotions, and narrow-mindedness, resulting from lack of self-worth.  It has much of the serious nature of black, but is warmer and softer.

Use in the Home or Office

Gray

Associated with independence, self-reliance and self-control.  Gray shields us from outside influence.  Gray is also the colour of evasion and non-commitment.  It relates to isolation and self-criticism.  Some experts believe gray is the only colour to have no psychological qualities, but it can be very suppressive.

Silver

The colour of the moon, which is ever changing.  It relates to the emotional and sensitive aspects of the mind.  It balances, harmonises and is mentally cleansing.

Gold

Associated with the sun, and therefore to abundance and power, wisdom and understanding.  It is mentally revitalising, energising and inspiring, and is helpful for fear, uncertainty and lack of interest.

Promotes:  energy, enthusiasm, balancing thoughts and feelings, wisdom, immune system, soothing.

Last week a few of my friends and I went to the Mayfair Bar for cocktails and saw Heavy D there, I said hello and he said hello and we had a little chat before I went back to my table to hang with my friends. Two days later I heard of the sad news of his death and want to send my condolences to all his family, friends and fans. He was a lovely person and a fine artist and we will miss him.
