What pictures should not be hung in an apartment according to Feng Shui and why?

Empty walls create a gloomy impression. It seems that the owner of the apartment does not live here or perceives it as a temporary shelter. It is enough to hang a reproduction of a painting, and the space will sparkle with new colors. Everyone perceives art in their own way, so for some, the dark subjects of Lucian Freud or Hans Giger may be more beautiful than the sunny landscapes of Claude Monet and Van Gogh. However, the image, in addition to aesthetic pleasure, also stores energy. We tell you which paintings should never be hung in an apartment according to Feng Shui.

Pictures of unhappy or angry people

According to Feng Shui, someone else’s negativity, imprinted on the faces of people who never existed, can be transferred to the owner. We also unknowingly invite into our lives quarrelsome, materialistic, envious people. Therefore, it is better to decorate the wall with reproductions of pictures whose characters inspire happiness and contentment.

Pictures with only one object

A picture where an object stands apart (a tree, an animal in the desert, a monk on a mountaintop) is associated with loneliness. By the way, we have already written in detail why, according to Feng Shui, you should definitely choose a paired decor in the bedroom.

Pictures of ruins and broken things

Even if the canvas depicts a beautiful, but in places dilapidated castle or a dried-up garden, it is better to admire such a reproduction in a gallery or on album pages than on the walls of an apartment. Any detail symbolizing decline can also bring financial problems. According to Feng Shui, you can not store broken items in the house, even if they are simply depicted in the picture. It is advisable to choose scenarios where there is abundance, for example, a table with juicy fruits.

Paintings and photographs of deceased relatives

You should not decorate your bedroom with photos of deceased loved ones. It is believed that spirits can also feel hungry and resentful, so on certain days they return to the world of the living to make up for the lack of energy. For this reason, an unsuspecting owner may get sick. If you really want to make a photo collage on the wall, it is better to give it a corner in the living room or hallway. But we recommend that you keep your precious photos in an album.

Images containing unknown symbols

Many symbols related to religion or the occult have powerful energies that the owner of the property is not even aware of. You should not keep such a painting in your home or even hang it on the wall. Otherwise, you may come into contact with various astral entities without realizing it. This can also lead to sleep and health problems.

Pictures with plants and ponds

According to Feng Shui, water represents the feminine yin energy, which is responsible for beauty, health, well-being and peace. Too much of it leads to conflicts, so it is not recommended to place an aquarium in the bedroom, especially with an odd number of fish or plants that absorb water. Accordingly, it is better not to hang pictures of flowers, waterfalls and lakes in the place where you sleep.

Pictures you don’t like

There is no need to bargain with yourself by convincing yourself that the painting is good. This may be true, but if you feel uneasy when you look at it, especially if you are buying it second-hand, definitely do not buy it. You do not know what kind of person the painter or the previous owner of the painting was. By the way, we have written about cursed paintings that bring many misfortunes to their owners before.
