At first glance, it might seem like feng shui for a studio apartment would be more complicated than feng shui for a house.
But you couldn’t be more wrong!
A studio apartment is actually a great space for feng shui because everything counts!
Feng shui for a small apartment is a bit easier because if something is “off” with the energy, it’s a lot more obvious and (I would argue) easier to fix!
Reasons Why It’s Easier to Feng Shui a Studio Apartment
Smaller spaces mean there are fewer places where issues can hide.
It’s a lot harder to have hidden clutter or even hidden maintenance issues, which means it’s a lot easier to have great energy flow throughout your apartment.
Small changes make a huge difference.
With studio apartments, making a small change actually makes a huge difference in your apartment’s feng shui.
You’ll notice an immediate difference in your energy and therefore your life!
It’s easier to figure out bagua placement.
Using the bagua in a studio apartment is much easier than trying to figure out a layout for a huge home.
That makes it a lot easier to figure out which areas of your apartment correspond to the different areas of your life.
How to Feng Shui a Studio Apartment
Apply the bagua.
Align the bagua map so that your front door aligns with the bottom of the bagua.
That means your front door will fall either in the Knowledge & Wisdom Area, the Career Area, or the Travel & Helpful People Area.
For a picture of the bagua and how to use it, see this post: What is the Feng Shui Bagua Map? The ULTIMATE guide for applying it to your home!
Decide where you want to start.
To keep things simple, choose ONE area of your studio apartment to start feng shui.
You don’t have to do the whole thing at once! Choose one area and focus on it.
You can start with an area where you’re struggling and want to make an improvement, or you can just start with your front door and then work your way around.
Whatever makes the most sense for you is best – use your intuition!
Make one or two changes at a time.
Feng shui for a studio apartment will work best if you only make a couple of changes at a time.
That way you can prove to yourself that it works.
You’ll get results and that will give you the momentum to make more changes!
Of course, if you’re a person who likes to go “all in” and do everything all at once, you can do that too.
But don’t feel like you HAVE to. If your life is working pretty well, you don’t have to up-end your entire apartment just to make it “good feng shui.”
Four Important Areas for a Studio Apartment
The Bathroom
Bathrooms represent draining energy (not to mention germs.)
But they are also important areas in feng shui because they represent health and self-care.
Having a clean, organized bathroom space helps to keep good Chi circulating.
You should also keep the door shut as much as possible to keep Chi circulating in the rest of your apartment. See this post for more information: feng shui bathroom tips – how to create a spa-like experience at home!
The Kitchen Area
Kitchens represent health and wealth in feng shui.
They are responsible for nourishment but also abundance (health is true wealth!)
Keep your kitchen area as neat and tidy as possible.
If you have a stovetop, use all of your burners to keep the fire element (activating energy) going! See this post for more information: 7 feng shui kitchen tips for creating a healthy & wealthy home!
Your Bed
In feng shui, your bed represents rest and romance.
Ideally, it should be separated from the rest of your apartment, by either a screen or curtain or some other kind of separation.
That way it can be protected from the active energy of the rest of your apartment.
Of course in a small studio apartment that isn’t always practical, so just make sure you have a well-defined sleeping area that is as neat and tidy as possible!
The Front Door
Your front door is one of the most important areas of your apartment.
It is where fresh Chi enters and it’s how the Universe sends you the things you ask for!
If you can create a defined entryway in your apartment it can help enhance this area and greet the Chi when it enters.
But if you don’t have room for a defined entryway, just keep your front door and the area around it neat and tidy!
And make sure that your door opens freely without anything blocking it (so that the good Chi can enter easily!) See this post for more information: how to feng shui your front door to attract new opportunities and good fortune!
