I worked with a wonderful client yesterday who hired me for a color consultation for the interior of her home.

In my design work, I look to the external environment to provide me with deeper messages about who is living and/or working in the space to support healthy changes.

My client had also expressed an interest in feng shui and interior design, and although today’s session was mainly dedicated to a new color palette, there were certain patterns reflected around her home that I noticed and shared with her.

One  had to do with her mirrors. The majority of them were simply hung too low and reflected back a neck and body (but no head) which is not-so-good for our self-esteem. It is important to see ourselves as whole beings at least with a full head reflection.

Of course my client was open to this subtle but powerful symbol and will shift it accordingly to support a more positive self-image. That combined with her new colors will be a powerful transformation indeed.

Got a feng shui or design question, just ‘Ask Cheryl’ and I’ll post the answer here.
