If you feel unlucky in love, maybe your choice of the property has something to do with it. As per Feng Shui, ancient Chinese practice, placement, colours and objects used in your apartment, especially in the bedroom, can affect your love life. Many people from around the globe have adopted this philosophy. Inspired by Valentine’s Day, we decided to explore it. If interested, here are a few simple things to keep in mind while renting a property in Dubai that can help restore love energy in your space. 

Optimise your southwest sector

The southwest compass direction is the most important to have good luck in love. If your bedroom falls in that direction, as per feng shui, it will benefit your love life. The first thing you need to do is activate this sector by using its governing element - earth. If you want to inject sentiment into your marriage or you simply wish to fortify the existing romantic love in your life, there are many symbols and items you can keep in that sector to activate it.

So, if you're about to rent a property in Dubai, keep your compass with you. 

How to decorate your space

While renting a property in Dubai, you can opt for furnished or unfurnished options. With furnished properties, you have less room for customisation. However, as per feng shui, these few earth elements you definitely should or shouldn’t have in your bedroom:

• Clay pottery or similar earth elements that appeal to your personal style. Ceramics pieces represent love, marriage, and relationships.
• Crystals, such as rose quartz or amethyst, activate love energy.
• Square-shaped elements represent earth, and they should be used in your southwest area.
• When it comes to colours, use brown, yellow, and red tones. If you're renting an apartment, make sure that these colours are dominating the bedroom. They reinforce the auspicious love energy in this area of your home.
• Don't choose art for your bedroom that depicts violence, sadness, or religion. Instead, choose those that represent love, unity or intimacy.
• On the other hand, a mirror in the bedroom will cause bad luck. Those who follow feng shui principles believe that either it will attract evil spirits or scare your astral projection while you are dreaming. Either way, it will disrupt your sleep. The same applies to your TV or any other screen.

To ensure a good feng shui for love, you should consider some other things. Some rooms, such as the toilet, kitchen and storage room, should never be set in the northwest corner. Also, your home should never have a missing northwest or southwest corner, which is often the case in L-shaped properties. Once you rent a property in Dubai, make sure to keep it neat. Also, decluttering is essential in feng shui, so follow minimalistic principles in your bedroom.
