How To Feng Shui Your Bookcase
By MCKENNA KOBOSKO
As a classic addition to any room, books have limitless design potential. One great way to organize your books is the Chinese practice of feng shui, which seeks to harness energy and establish harmony between yourself and the natural world by balancing the elements of wood, water, fire, earth, and metal.
Applying feng shui to your bookshelves can be a bit tricky, so a good place to start is decluttering. Remove all of the books from your bookcase, clean the shelves, assess what books you own, and consider the location of your bookcase in your home.
Once you've sorted through your books and found an ideal location, you can go about reshelving. Although there isn't a recommended way to reshelve books according to feng shui, you can still utilize the energy that your books give off and find a balance that works for you.
