In home decoration and arrangement, some items—while seemingly harmless—can negatively impact the energy of a household. So, what kinds of objects might bring trouble if kept at home?
1. Broken or Non‑functioning Clocks, Appliances & Mirrors
Broken items signal stagnation and broken cycles. A stopped clock symbolizes frozen time—a halt in progress. Cracked mirrors distort energy and can reflect negativity back into your surroundings
2. Dead or Dying Plants / Dried Flowers
Even dried flowers lose their Qi—they’re reminders of lifelessness. Similarly, wilted plants block the natural flow of energy. Replace them promptly with thriving greenery
3. Sharp Objects & Blades
Leave knives, scissors, or pointy décor out of sight. Their sharpness disrupts energy and can cause subtle tension in rooms meant for relaxation
4. Electronics in the Bedroom
TVs, routers, or other electronic gadgets by the bedside radiate distracting energy. They disturb restful sleep and block calming Yin energy. Only keep a minimalist alarm clock—as needed
5. Strong Emotional Memorabilia
Photos or mementos tied to painful memories can hold onto sorrow or tension. These items may keep energy stuck in the past rather than inviting joy and growth
6. Outdated or Oversized Furniture
Bulky pieces or obsolete decor overwhelm space visually, obstruct energy flow, and may weigh down your mood. Aim instead for harmony in scale and simplicity
7. Rocking or Unstable Items
Items like rocking chairs or unstable décor create imbalance and insecurity in your space. In Feng Shui, constant motion without grounding energy leads to disruption
8. Unmade Beds or Clutter Under the Bed
An unmade bed symbolizes chaos and unsettled rest. Additionally, storing clutter beneath the bed disrupts restful energy flow throughout the night
9. Cacti, Spiky Succulents & Green Paint
Spiky plants like cacti can produce harsh energy. Even house colors matter: green paint may, in some Feng Shui schools, be associated with imbalance or unwelcome change
