Glam Shui: Decorating with the Metal element at World Market

The other day I went shopping at World Market looking for some chic outdoor entertaining essentials. It's always one of my go to's. However, when I looked around, I noticed just how much they have incorporated more glamour into their buying, which I love. It totally resonates with my personal Feng Shui element, metal. If you don't know your element, you must join my love list, I have a chart for you to find out more info on it. 

Decorating your home using the five elements of Feng Shui helps guide you to bring harmony to your home. You'll find what surroundings most nurture you and your family, you'll also begin to feel energetically alive when you are correctly supported by your elements. It's all about balancing your surroundings. Don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like me to help you work with yours 

Anyway, being a Metal person, metallics are my jam. The best colors for a metal person to have in their home are Silver, Grey, White, Neutrals, Gold, etc. Obviously, this rings so true to me. I feel nurtured by metallics and their glamorous edge. World Market has done a beautiful job of bringing a little glamour to their otherwise more bohemian vibe. Here are a few picks that would absolutely do wonders for a person with a Metal Feng Shui personal element. 

When I first began my design career, I would have tulip table bases, custom painted in gold. Now, they make it and at an affordable price. Hello! Love this chic dining table.

This chic grey and gold dining chair is the ultimate Metal furnishing. Not only is it in the color grey, it also is glam metal. Stunning. These must be in my world. 

This gold bar cart would be such a perfect outdoor entertaining piece, no?

Art frames are a great METAL decorating addition. Metal people feel supported by structure and order, so making sure your artwork is framed in a beautiful frame is very important. I love these Antiqued zinc metal frames. 

I adore this beautiful dark green velvet sofa. The curves are so pretty and the gold legs upgrade the glam factor. 

This brass etagere would be so great for any office or book display system. I even think it could be an elegant way to style the nursery. 

A grey room would be so beautiful with this hammered silver drum table. Boho chic. 

I absolutely love this glam bar cart. I like to keep these in bathrooms too, styling it with towels, bath salts, crystals, tea or bubbly, etc. 

Any outdoor look would be so fabulous with hanging lanterns like these.

Spiritual glamour: why you should use crystal and agate artwork for the home

Decorating well is really all about intention. When we are creating our surroundings, its important that we feel our way to it. I find it so boring when I look around and see people with all the same looks in their home. Same colors, same artwork, same accents, etc. I have come to realize that the people who have these types of homes, lack a sense of purpose or a sense of self. Or they have yet to have the wealth consciousness to invest in hiring someone to help them create the space of their dreams. It's totally fine, as long as life is working for you. However, if you feel like you are missing something, it's time to let your home help you express who you are and all your truest desires. 

I am big on artwork. Art is always going to be one of the best forms of therapy in your home, aside from music. You want to look around your home and see expressions of the things you want to feel. I'm currently working with a Feng Shui client and she is lacking commitment and stability in her current love relationship. Well, when I first took a look at this area of her home, there were all blank walls. No art to visually represent the feelings she wants to experience. She isn't clear about what she wants, therefore isn't receiving it. I have cured several lives this way. Artwork is like a window to your deepest desires. 

Right now, I am crushing on agate, crystal, water artwork. It's a great use of spirituality, color and style. Sure, the actual crystal is MUCH more powerful energetically, but just the art piece can serve as a reminder of that same energy. Don't forget, it really is all about the intention behind the way you decorate. My favorite crystal is amethyst because of the colors and what it represents so naturally, I adore this beautiful amethyst print I found here. 

This MALACHITE is such a beautiful print, too. Malachite is the transformer crystal. Deep energy healing and clearing, its also a good balancer of all chakras. Having this look in your home is also very glam earth energy. 

How beautiful are these blue agate prints in acrylic frames from Wisteria?

These lapiz lazuli prints are a beautiful way to incorporate the color blue, which adds the water energy to your space. Perfect for the career/work area of your home. 

I absolutely love these framed sets of pyrite near the closet. Pyrite is a great stone for wealth, abundance, etc. Why not have that energy in the closet? You can get a similar look with these beautiful geodes. 

This is a beautiful shot of ABALONE shell. Abalone carries healing energies of protection and emotional balance. This would make a beautiful piece for your entryway! That's really good Feng Shui.
