Vastu Shastra presents the importance of placement, especially in the home or workplace. According to this belief, the five elements have to be in harmony to bring balance and a continuous flow of positive energy in a person's life and environment. However, many people, even after following the rules of Vastu can't seem to reap its benefits. One explanation for this is because of clutter. Here is a guide for decluttering the living room, one of the most important places in the home.

Prioritize comfort
Sometimes it is best to forgo aesthetically pleasing but uncomfortable furniture. In the rules of Vastu, a person's comfort is never neglected. Rather than thinking about having a visually attractive home, invest in comfortable and ergonomic furniture especially in the living room where a person should feel at rest. If other things in the room make a person uncomfortable, it would be better to take these items out.
Choose softer colors
Clutter doesn't only pertain to unnecessary objects in the living room. It can also be about the colors and the aura that could make a person feel restless. Red and black shouldn't be used in the furniture and the fixtures. For a tranquil vibe, homeowners should use softer colors such as blue, light yellow, green, and white.
Have a day for decluttering every six months
Clutter can build up without a person noticing it. To prevent positive energy from being blocked, it is always good to take out the things that a person no longer needs. If an object is unnecessary and doesn't contribute to the look of the room, it should be removed. Adding live plants is always a great solution to clear the energy in the area.
Belongings or fixtures that make the room look congested can block abundance and positive energy despite the right placements. To ensure harmony between the elements, it's best to keep a room clean and clutter-free.
