As the world blossoms into spring, it's the perfect time to refresh not only our mindset but also our living space.
In Korean culture, Feng Shui, or Pungsu-jiri, offers time-honored wisdom on how to align your home’s energy for better luck, health, and harmony.
This spring, I tried applying a few of these traditional principles to my home—and the result was a noticeable lift in both mood and clarity.
Let me share what worked for me and how you can easily try it too!
🏡 What Is Korean Feng Shui (Pungsu-jiri)?
Pungsu-jiri is the Korean interpretation of feng shui. It focuses on the flow of energy (Qi) through nature and architecture, and how this energy can influence wealth, happiness, and well-being.
While traditionally used for home placement and architecture, its principles can also guide interior design and seasonal resets.
Spring, a season of new beginnings, is an ideal time to try it out.
🌿 Key Feng Shui Tips for Spring Interior Refresh
Here are five areas where small changes made a huge impact in my home:
1. ✨ Entrance = The Gateway of Energy
- Keep the entrance clean and uncluttered
- Add a green plant near the door → promotes wealth and luck
- Use soft lighting and remove excess shoes
2. 🛋 Living Room = Harmony & Relationships
- Position your sofa so it doesn’t directly face away from the entrance
- Place a moisture-loving plant in the east corner → encourages growth
- Display a family photo on the northeast wall
3. 🛏 Bedroom = Rest & Emotional Stability
- Face your bed north or east for grounding sleep
- Avoid clutter under the bed—let energy circulate
- Add soft pink, beige, or rose tones for peaceful romance
4. 🍳 Kitchen = Wealth & Health
- Keep countertops clear of clutter
- Add a red kitchen towel or a small warm-colored item to stabilize fire energy
- Hang a gold rice scoop for prosperity
5. 🌬 Balcony & Windows = Energy Flow
- Clean window sills and open windows often
- Add rosemary, lavender, or mint plants for air purification and fresh energy
- Avoid blocking light with heavy curtains—try linen instead
🧼 Spring Cleaning with Purpose: The 1-Hour Refresh
You don’t need to spend hours cleaning. Here’s the simple routine I follow:
| 10 min | Wipe entrance + shoe cabinet |
| 15 min | Clean bathroom fixtures and mirror |
| 15 min | Kitchen counter, stove, and fridge door |
| 20 min | Dust living room surfaces + organize remotes/books |
🔑 Focus on:
- Doorknobs, light switches
- Window frames
- Under-bed space
These areas often hold stagnant dust—and qi!
🕯️ Small Touches That Lift the Mood
Spring is all about freshness and softness, so here are my favorite mood boosters:
- 🌿 Yellow cushions → lift mental energy
- 🧺 Rattan baskets → warm, natural feel
- ☁️ Linen curtains → soften light & flow
- 🍋 Citrus diffuser → freshens air & revitalizes energy
- 🍀 Lucky charms like a small gold pig or decorative rice scoop
🌼 Final Thoughts
I personally love the scent of freesia, and every spring, I place a vase full of fresh freesia flowers right at the entrance of my home.
As soon as I open the door, that gentle floral fragrance greets me—and it truly feels like spring is entering straight into my heart.
Try placing freesia in your own entryway.
A single breath of that scent can lift your mood and bring happiness into your day. 🌸
Whether or not you believe in the spiritual side of feng shui, one thing is clear:
how your home feels affects how you feel.
By making small, intentional adjustments this spring, you can create a space that nurtures your energy, refreshes your mindset, and sets the tone for a bright new season.
Let your space bloom with you 💫
You deserve a beautiful start.
