Put a Little Feng Shui into the Plan when Designing Your Next Storage Shed

A well-designed storage shed comes in handy at home or for business. However, a cluttered storage shed can also quickly become a booby-trap that interrupts the flow or the Feng Shui of any space.

What is Feng Shui?

Do you know that Feng Shui experts associate clutter with illness or dis-ease? Feng Shui is the Chinese art or practice of deliberately positioning objects, designing buildings, and space arrangements. The purpose is to create a positive energy flow that harmonizes with the environment.

The biggest mistake people make when building storage buildings can be the inability to easily access whatever is inside. Everything just gets crammed in, making it hard to retrieve things – or even to remember what we put in there. When it comes time to sort our piles of stuff, we often procrastinate.

Here are a handful of reasons why we fill our garages, closets, and homes and storage areas with unorganized possessions. Add your own reasons to ours. Then recognize that your new pole building give you the opportunity to change.

• We do not know what to do with everything.
• Refusal to get rid of things that are not being used.
• We have not assigned places for the types of possessions we have and don’t put away things that do have places.
• We don’t make time, hoping to organize later.

Some Basic Feng Shui Principles

So first off, be sure to declutter before designing your storage shed. The art and science of Feng Shui can be applied to any space, any property, any room, homes, buildings, and even storage sheds. The use of lighting, reflection, color, balance, order, flow, access—these are just a handful of tools employed by experts in Feng Shui. Their toolboxes may include putting the bagua over the structure. It assigns special points of emphasis, areas to promote health and happiness.

Here’s are the fundamental concepts in a Feng Shui energy map. Use connecting spaces to improve specific areas of life and flow. Even if it is only a treasure map for you, have fun finding a way to build order. You can try this table format, placing the front of the storage building at the bottom.

Other practitioners add in birth stars, elements, dousing, and much more. For storage buildings, just be sure what you store has value and meaning, it’s useful to your life, and kept in easily accessible and practical positions. Make sure it’s well lighted with windows and/or lighting. Be sure it’s properly ventilated. And doll it up a bit to make your times in the shed happy times.
