Feng Shui for Short and Long-Term Rental Owners
Elevating Rental Spaces
Kerstin Tracy | Feng Shui
Whether you own short-term vacation rentals or long-term residential properties, applying the principles of Feng Shui can profoundly enhance the energy and atmosphere of your rental spaces, creating environments that attract positive experiences, harmony, and abundance for both you and your tenants.
Let’s explore how you can infuse your rental properties with the principles of Feng Shui to attract the right renters and harmonious situations.
Setting the Intention:
Before delving into the physical aspects of your rental properties, it is essential to set a clear intention for what you hope to achieve with your space. Whether creating a sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation or fostering an environment conducive to productivity and success, clarifying your intentions will guide your Feng Shui efforts and ensure alignment with your goals.
Harmonizing the Space:
The foundation of Feng Shui lies in harmonizing the flow of energy, or chi, within a space. Begin by decluttering and organizing your rental properties to allow chi to flow freely. Clear out any unnecessary items or obstacles that block energy flow and create a sense of stagnation. Arrange furniture and décor in a way that promotes openness, is inviting, creates excellent conversations, and encourages the smooth circulation of chi throughout the space.
Balancing Yin and Yang:
In Feng Shui philosophy, balance is crucial in creating harmonious environments. Balance the yin and yang energies within your rental properties by incorporating elements of both into your decor and design. Yin energy is soft, passive, and nurturing, while yang energy is active, vibrant, and dynamic. Balance the two by incorporating soft textures, gentle lighting, and calming colors to evoke yin energy while adding yang energy elements through bold accents, vibrant artwork, and lively plants.
Special tip: keep plants out of the bedroom—they are too yang. A bedroom is for rest and romance, which is more yin. The living room can be more active instead.
Activating Wealth and Prosperity:
One of the primary goals of Feng Shui is to attract abundance and prosperity into our lives. Activate your rental properties' wealth and prosperity area, typically located in the southeast corner according to the Bagua map, to invite positive energy and financial opportunities. Enhance this area with symbols of abundance, such as a wealth bowl filled with coins or crystals, a vibrant plant, or artwork depicting scenes of prosperity. Incorporate the colors green and gold, associated with wealth and abundance in Feng Shui, to further amplify the energy of prosperity.
Special tip: Consider an annual Feng Shui consultation for your personal home and rental spaces to enhance good luck for yourself and attract nice renters every year. The influences change every year, so some changes are beneficial every year.
Creating a Welcoming Entrance:
In Feng Shui, the entrance of a space is considered the mouth of chi, where energy enters and exits. Create a welcoming and inviting entrance for your rental properties to greet tenants and set a positive tone for their experience. Ensure that the entrance is well-lit, clutter-free, and easy to navigate. Consider adding elements that promote positive energy flow, such as a welcome mat, potted plants, or a beautiful piece of artwork. Creating a welcoming entrance invites positive energy into your rental properties and sets the stage for a harmonious and uplifting experience for your tenants.
Special tip: Get a new welcoming mat yearly to attract new energy.
Nurturing Tenant Relationships:
In addition to enhancing the physical aspects of your rental properties, cultivating positive relationships with your tenants is also essential. Approach interactions with empathy, understanding, and compassion, creating a supportive and nurturing environment for your tenants to thrive. Listen to their feedback and address any concerns or issues promptly and thoughtfully. By fostering positive tenant relationships, you create a sense of harmony and mutual respect that enriches the energy of your rental properties and enhances the overall rental experience for everyone involved.
Special tip: Place a ruby-red item in the center of your rental space for harmony—unless the annual flying stars require otherwise. Not sure what the annual flying stars are for you or your rental? I can work through this with you in a personalized yearly Feng Shui Guide.
By setting clear intentions, including clear boundaries, harmonizing the space, balancing yin and yang energies, activating wealth and prosperity, creating a welcoming entrance, and nurturing tenant relationships, you can attract your ideal renters every year and all year round.
