First, let me give you a little peek at my wealth corner…I filled my money corner with all the things (and most of my plants) I’ve listed in this blog post, keep reading for the juice.

HOW TO FIND the Feng Shui Wealth Corner?

In Feng Shui, your home is divided into nine energy sectors (commonly called the ‘bagua’, each area of the bagua is associated with different aspects of your life. I explain how to work with the bagua here.

The Wealth Corner, also known as the Prosperity or Money Corner, is located in the southeast area of your home or a specific room. I like to explain it like this, go to your front door and stand as if you are about to walk through the entrance. When standing at the entrance of the home (or room), pick up your left hand and point to the furthest upper left area of your home from where you are standing. That’s the money corner.

Activating this corner can help enhance your financial prosperity, but it's more than just stacking up dollar bills; it's about inviting abundance in all aspects of life and making sure the energy of harmony flows throughout your home.

🧭 How to Find Your Money Corner Room by Room

Your home’s main money corner sets the overall tone for wealth energy. But did you know you can also apply the Bagua Map to individual rooms?

• Whole House: Stand at your front door facing in; the farthest back left area is your primary wealth corner.

• Individual Room: Stand at the room’s entrance; the farthest back left corner is the mini money corner for that space.

Which should you focus on?
Start with the main home wealth corner, then boost key rooms like your living room and bedroom for extra financial luck.

Tricky layouts:

• If your corner is missing due to an L-shape or odd floor plan, symbolically “complete” it with a mirror, light, or a vibrant plant just outside where the corner would be.

• If the corner is cluttered, clear it immediately — clutter blocks chi (energy flow).

01 | Gold coin door bell - Hanging this by your front door will strengthen you and attract the Feng Shui energies of health, wealth, harmony and love to your home of office.

02 | Gold Feng Shui I-Ching coins - it is said to put these Chinese fortune coins inside wallet, purse, handbag, cash register or accounting book, will attract wealthy chi, bring treasures and protection

03 | Golden Lucky cat bag charm & Lucky red wrapped coin bag charm - Bag charms are all the rage right now and adding an auspicious (lucky) charm to where you wallet is will double your luck!

04 | Front door water fountain - In Feng Shui, water fountains are highly valued for their ability to attract positive energy, specifically chi, which is believed to enhance health, wealth, and overall well-being. The flowing water symbolizes the continuous flow of prosperity and good luck, and the sound of the water can be calming and promote relaxation. 

05 | Crystal sun catcher - Suncatchers help to clear out and shift the energy in our home, they help move us out of stuck-ness. I like to keep my suncatcher in my wealth corner at home.

06 | Jade elephant figure - Elephants with the trunks facing upwards to represent prosperity, good luck, and success. Protection, good luck, wisdom, and fertility are the main feng shui energies brought by the symbol of the elephant into any space, be it home or office

07 | Green Jade Money Tree - Placing it in the southeast corner of your home or office, or on a desk's wealth corner, is thought to enhance its money-attracting properties.

How to acTIVATE and decorate your Feng Shui money corner for manifesting more abundance & wealth:

Step 1. Declutter your money corner

First things first - declutter! A cluttered space blocks the flow of energy and abundance. In the wealth area of your home, incorporating decor elements that support organization and tidiness, such as decorative baskets and bins or storage solutions, will help keep clutter at bay and maintain a sense of calm and spaciousness.

Go through your Wealth Corner and clear out anything you no longer need. Remember, out with the old, in with the new!

Step 2: Remove any negative images or symbols that block the flow of wealth.

Negative symbols can dampen the positive energy of abundance and prosperity that you're trying to cultivate in your home. Remember, Feng Shui is about creating a harmonious environment that supports positive energy flow. By avoiding these images associated with negativity or stagnation, you will free up space for abundance energy to flow in.

Here are a few you want to remove from your money corner asap:

1. Broken Objects: Broken or damaged objects can represent stagnation or decline in finances.

2. Barren Landscapes: Images of dry or barren landscapes may symbolize lack of growth and opportunity, which can hinder the flow of wealth energy.

3. Empty Vases: Empty vases or vessels can signify a lack of sustenance and abundance. It's better to display vases with fresh flowers or fruits.

4. Dead plants or flowers: this can symbolize a dried up financial status or dead business.

5. Low vibe Books: books with topics on debt or saving money keep you stuck in that energy. Surround yourself with books on growing your wealth.

6. Clutter: Cluttered or chaotic spaces can reflect disarray in your life, including your finances. Especially mail, you don’t want stacks of unopened mail or bills. Keep your environment organized and clutter-free.

Step 3: Add in Earthy elements for prosperity

The Wealth Corner is associated with the Wood element. The Wood element represents wealth, family, health, and prosperity. To activate the wood element energy, you want to introduce Earth and Water elements into the space.

You can do this by decorating this space with…

• earthy colors like brown and green

• adding crystals & gemstones, like citrine, amethyst & pyrite. I have an entire book on how to feng shui your home with crystals to manifest everything. It will rock your world.

• or by adding a small indoor fountain. These elements harmonize with the Wood element and promote wealth and abundance.

• use suncatchers to amplify positive energy in your home: Read my crystal suncatcher guide here.

🎨 Best Colors and Elements for Wealth Energy

To truly energize your wealth corner, decorate it mindfully using supportive colors and elements:

✅ Colors:

• Purple — the traditional wealth color in Feng Shui.

• Green — symbolizing growth and vitality.

• Gold — for richness and abundance.

✅ Elements:

• Wood — furniture or decor made of natural wood promotes growth.

• Water — gently moving water (like a small fountain or an aquarium) symbolizes flowing wealth.

• Living plants — lush, healthy plants amplify vibrant, prosperous chi.

Step 4: Keep It Thriving with Plants

Living plants symbolize growth and vitality. You can add healthy green plants to your Wealth Corner to infuse your space with positive energy and prosperity.

I have filled my wealth corner with my favorite indoor plants and I am sure to always keep them thriving and growing so that my wealth energy is always expanding.

Plants that are especially helpful in this area:

• A money tree (a symbol of wealth and prosperity)

• A lucky bamboo plant (8 stalks represents wealth)

• The Rubber Plant (Ficus Elastica) attracts wealth, prosperity, and good luck.

Step 5: Keep it lit 🔥 💡

This is our bliss

When it comes to activating your money corner, lighting plays a crucial role, especially if you have plants. My money corner gets lots of natural light so I have a rattan floor light that lights up my plants at night.

To keep the energy flowing, you want to make sure to keep your money corner well-lit with natural light and artificial sources such as lamps, plug in floor lamps, chandeliers, or ceiling lights. By incorporating the right home decor style, you can create a harmonious and prosperous space that supports your financial goals.

Step 6: Use Mirrors

mirror meditation space

This might be my favorite tip of all because I absolutely love mirrors. Mirrors energetically move energy and not only do they expand the space of the room, they also expand the energy of whatever it reflects.

So, mirrors can actually be used to double your wealth energy.

However, make sure you don't place a mirror where it reflects clutter or anything negative. Instead, position it to reflect something beautiful, like an image of abundance or all of your beautiful plants.

You can create an environment where your home not only reflects your impeccable taste but also acts as a powerful attractor for the energy of abundance. Imagine walking into a space that not only looks great but also feels like it's radiating wealth, success and good fortune.

🌼 Seasonal Money Corner Refresh

Energize your money corner to align with the seasons:

🌸 Spring: Deep clean, open windows, and add fresh flowers.
☀️ Summer: Use bright flowers, fresh water in your fountain, and keep plants hydrated.
🍂 Fall: Decorate with gold accents and warm wood tones.
❄️ Winter: Add cozy lighting, candles, and perhaps a touch of festive gold or evergreen decor.

3 symbols that represent wealth, success and good fortune:

Place these items mindfully to attract financial fortune:

01 | IMAGES OF RUNNING HORSES

Horses office art

Embracing the energy of running horses signifies incredible success and boundless progress. Placing art or sculptures of running horses in key areas of your home, such as the entrance or the wealth corner can bring in good fortune and financial gains. These symbols remind you to keep your ambitions high and your momentum strong.

02 | IMAGES OF CRASHING WAVES

The cascading energy of crashing waves mirrors the flow of wealth and abundance into your life. As water descends, it symbolizes a continuous stream of opportunities and financial growth.

03 | IMAGES OF MOUNTAINS

Mountains have long been revered for their unshakeable stability and their ability to stand tall against the elements. In Feng Shui, mountains represent support and protection, creating a secure foundation for prosperity to flourish.

How to Balance Yin & Yang Energy in Your Home with Feng Shui

As women, our homes are never just “places we live.” They’re extensions of our energy, our mood, and our daily rhythm. The spaces we create hold us, shape us, and influence how we move through the world.

When our environment feels off — too cluttered, too chaotic, too sterile, or too heavy — it impacts us on a soul-deep level. Suddenly, rest doesn’t come easily, our creativity feels blocked, and even our relationships can feel the strain.

That’s why understanding Yin and Yang energy and Feng Shui is such a gift for women. It gives us a language for what we already intuitively know: that the energy of a space is just as important as its style. And when you learn to read and rebalance these energies, you’re no longer just decorating — you’re creating a sanctuary that nourishes your body, mind, and spirit.

And here’s the beautiful part: when you feel balanced in your home, you naturally show up as the best version of yourself for your family. Your children feel calmer, your partner feels more supported, and the entire household flows better. Your energy sets the tone — and when it’s in harmony, the people you love thrive too.

For women juggling careers, motherhood, relationships, and personal growth, this is vital. Your home becomes the backdrop of your life, and when it’s balanced, you feel more capable, inspired, and aligned. That’s why this work isn’t “extra” or frivolous. It’s self-care at the deepest level.

What Are Yin & Yang Energies?

In Feng Shui, Yin and Yang are the two forces that bring balance. They’re opposites, but together they create harmony.

• Yin energy is the feminine force — soft, cool, calming, and nurturing. Think moonlight, cozy corners, and quiet moments of reflection.

• Yang energy is the masculine force — active, fiery, expansive, and bright. Think sunlight, movement, and bold, open spaces.

Every room, just like every woman, needs a little of both. Too much Yin can leave us feeling stagnant, while too much Yang can leave us overstimulated. Balance is the key.

How Too Much Yin or Yang Shows Up in Women

If you’ve ever felt like your home was working against you — making you feel more anxious, drained, or uninspired — that’s Yin and Yang imbalance at play.

Too Much Yang Energy in You:

• Feeling anxious or always “on”

• Constantly busy but lacking focus

• Trouble slowing down or resting

• Overplanning and worrying about the future

Too Much Yin Energy in You:

• Feeling tired or unmotivated

• Emotional heaviness or holding onto the past

• Avoiding socializing, wanting to hide away

• Stagnant in body, energy, or even creativity

When you start noticing these patterns, it’s not about blaming yourself. It’s about tuning into your space — because your home mirrors what’s happening within you.

How Your Body Reacts

Our nervous systems are always reading our surroundings. Even when you don’t consciously notice it, your body knows.

• Too much Yang in a space: you may feel restless, tense, and have trouble sleeping.

• Too much Yin in a space: you may feel sluggish, unfocused, and unmotivated.

When Yin and Yang flow together, your home feels nourishing. You rest better, you feel more inspired, and you naturally align with your intuition.

Yin Elements in the Home

If your home feels too intense, busy, or overwhelming, it’s time to soften it with Yin:

• Layered lighting: lamps, candles, dimmers

• Cozy textiles: plush rugs, throws, cushions

• Deep blues, jewel tones, earthy hues

• Rounded, curved furniture and heavier décor

• Drapery, curtains, or fabric that holds you in

• Matte wood finishes

• Low seating, alcoves, and nooks

• Carpeting or grounded textures

Think of these elements as the embrace of your home — the things that invite you to slow down, breathe, and restore. Perfect for bedrooms, meditation spaces, or anywhere you want to feel held.

Yang Elements in the Home

If your space feels heavy, uninspired, or stagnant, it needs more spark. Bring in Yang through:

• Bright overhead lights and natural sunshine

• Sleek, structured, or minimal furniture

• Whites, reds, brights, and reflective surfaces

• Sharp lines, angular shapes

• Bare windows or open shades

• Glass, metal, and shiny finishes

• Open floor plans, high ceilings, expansive views

Yang lifts the energy and helps you feel motivated and productive. Use it in your office, kitchen, or areas where family gathers and energy flows.

How to Balance Yin & Yang in Your Home

When you look around a room, ask yourself:

• Does this space feel too heavy? → Add Yang.

• Does this space feel too harsh? → Add Yin.

Balance doesn’t mean equal parts; it means harmony. Bedrooms and bathrooms should lean Yin, while offices and kitchens can thrive with a little more Yang.

The beauty of Feng Shui is that it gives us tools to work with energy intentionally — so that our homes become sanctuaries that nurture us, not stress us.

Room-by-Room Guide to Yin & Yang Balance

Every room in your home serves a different purpose, which means the energy needs shift too. Some spaces thrive with calming Yin energy, while others need activating Yang energy. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s creating harmony that supports how you actually live in each space.

🛏️ Bedroom – Mostly Yin

Your bedroom should feel like a sanctuary for rest, romance, and restoration. Yin energy helps you slow down, soften your nervous system, and sleep deeply.

• Use soft, layered lighting (lamps, candles, dimmers).

• Choose plush bedding, cozy rugs, and rounded furniture.

• Decorate with calming colors like blues, creams, or muted pinks.

• Keep electronics and harsh lighting to a minimum (too Yang).

🍳 Kitchen – Mostly Yang

The kitchen is the heart of activity, cooking, and family energy. It benefits from lively Yang to keep things vibrant and nourishing.

• Bright lighting, both overhead and natural.

• Bold colors like red, orange, or yellow accents (all food-related, Yang colors).

• Sleek surfaces and reflective finishes (glass, metal, tile).

• Balance with some Yin textures (wood, plants, soft textiles) so it doesn’t feel too harsh.

🛋️ Living Room – Yin & Yang Mix

Your living room needs to hold both rest and social activity, so a balance works best.

• Layer overhead lighting (Yang) with table lamps (Yin).

• Pair structured furniture (Yang) with soft throws and pillows (Yin).

• Include a mix of colors — a calm neutral base (Yin) with pops of lively accents (Yang).

• Plants add life force energy (Yang) but also bring grounding nature vibes (Yin).

🛁 Bathroom – Mostly Yin

Bathrooms are cleansing, reflective spaces, and they naturally lean toward Yin. But because water dominates, you’ll want to sprinkle in a little Yang for balance.

• Use soft lighting, candles, and calm colors (Yin).

• Add Yang with mirrors, shiny fixtures, or a pop of warm color in towels or décor.

• Keep clutter minimal to avoid stagnant Yin energy.

💻 Home Office – Mostly Yang

Your office needs to keep you focused, energized, and productive — Yang energy helps drive action and clarity.

• Bright, natural light or crisp task lighting.

• Structured desk and chair with clean lines.

• Motivating colors like white, green, or red accents.

• Balance with Yin touches like a cozy rug, soft curtains, or a grounding plant so it’s not too intense.

🍷 Dining Room – Yin & Yang Mix

A dining room holds both nourishment and connection. You want it warm and welcoming (Yang) but also comfortable for long conversations (Yin).

• Use a strong dining table (Yang) with soft upholstered chairs (Yin).

• Light the room with a chandelier or pendant (Yang) and candles (Yin).

• Incorporate grounding colors like earthy neutrals with pops of vibrant hues in artwork or table décor.

🌀 Entryway – Mostly Yang

The entryway sets the tone for your whole home. This is where you want vibrant, welcoming energy to greet you.

• Keep it well-lit, open, and uncluttered (Yang).

• Add mirrors or shiny finishes to bounce energy.

• Balance with Yin details like a rug, artwork, or fresh flowers to soften the space.

✨ Tip: When in doubt, lean Yin in private spaces (bedrooms, bathrooms) and Yang in social or active spaces (kitchen, office, entryway). Mixed spaces (living and dining rooms) thrive with both.

Creating a Home That Supports Your Feminine Energy

For women, especially, tending to Yin and Yang in the home is more than a design choice — it’s a reclamation of power. Our feminine energy thrives when we feel supported, safe, and inspired by our surroundings. A well-balanced home isn’t just beautiful to look at; it feeds our nervous system, heals our spirit, and allows us to show up in the world with clarity and grace.

When you choose to nurture your home in this way, you’re reminding yourself that your energy matters. You’re affirming that rest is sacred, joy is essential, and beauty is medicine. That’s the heart of feminine energy — the ability to create spaces that not only hold life but elevate it.

So as you balance Yin and Yang, remember: you’re not just shifting furniture or choosing colors. You’re writing the story of how you want to feel in your own life. And that story is one of harmony, radiance, and feminine power.
