Chances are that you have probably spent the better part of the year searching for fun and creative ways of achieving a balance between your personal life and work. At the end of an energy-charged day, you most likely want to seek refuge in a tranquil sanctuary where you can drown out the noise of the busy day gone by.

Have you ever walked into a room and automatically felt like you are at home there and never want to leave? You found a comfortable corner to sit in, felt your body start to relax and the pressure from your daily grind just seemed to effortlessly flow out of your body. The space just resonated well with you on every level and it felt like your soul knew no limits and were free to dance your worries away…

If you know that feeling, you will understand why we are super excited to share some design tips with you that we implemented in one of our latest design projects.

Over the summer, 3 Purple Feathers was commissioned to create a series of custom visuals and a store layout for Stones of Africa, a crystal store located in vibey Johannesburg, South Africa. And, of course, we loved every minute of it!

It was a treat to work with a client whose career is built on helping others achieve the balance and harmony that designers strive to portray in their work. The best part is that you can learn how to do this too and have just as much fun along the way.

The energy that exists in the Stones for Africa store moves throughout the space with unparalleled ease.

Since the store caters to customers who are deeply in tune with their spiritual side, it was important to create a layout and corresponding visuals that simultaneously appealed to three or more of the clients’ 5 senses as well as provide an obvious link to nature. This is where Feng Shui principles played a major role.

Feng Shui loosely translates as Wind-Water. These are the 2 elements that are believed to transport Chi from one point to another. As both of these elements allow for Chi to be carried in a free-flowing fashion, the concept for the store layout was based on a similar approach.

So how can you amplify the energy in a space?

The best way to start to develop a fluid concept is by implementing what you have already learned. In the previous post, you learned that creating a clutter-free space is the first step to achieving harmony. The same principle was applied to this design.

The Stones for Africa store is extremely clean and neatly arranged. All items are categorised and labelled, making it very simple for clients to quickly find what they need. This automatically brings peace into the environment as customers are not feeling frustrated while browsing through items.

You too can create a clutter-free space by following the easy steps mentioned in the previous post. And if you have already done that, then the handy tips below will provide you with quick tips to further amplify the energy in your space.
