Feng Shui Art: Harmonising Energy, Aesthetics & Well-Being...

What Is Feng Shui Art?

Feng Shui — literally “wind and water” — is an ancient Chinese practice focused on arranging people’s surroundings to optimise the flow of positive energy (chi) and enhance life areas such as health, wealth, and relationships. It does this by balancing the five elements (water, wood, fire, earth, metal) through colour, shape, placement, and symbolism. But Feng Shui isn’t just about avoiding clutter or sticking objects in certain corners. It’s a sophisticated philosophy that can be expressed through thoughtfully designed artwork, turning walls and spaces into energetically supportive environments.

Feng Shui Art in Practice: The Spires Art & Nicholas Sunderland Collaboration

On the NS Interiors “Feng Shui Art” web page, interior designer Nicholas Sunderland explains a collaborative project with Spires Art — an established bespoke International art provider. With over 40 years of experience in Interior Design and Feng Shui, creating site-specific designs for hospitality, residential, and commercial interiors, Nicholas is well qualified to create in Collaboration, these unique artworks.

Rather than generic décor, Nicholas uses Feng Shui theory to inform and create artworks tailored for specific sectors of a building — including locations associated with career, health, prosperity, and relationships. Each piece is crafted not only for aesthetic appeal but also for energetic alignment.

Why Feng Shui Art Matters in Interior Design

1.    Enhancing Chi Through Art Placement

Spires Art pieces are designed with specific directional sectors in mind — such as North (career), South West (relationships), or East (family/health). By placing the right work in the right zone, the artwork isn’t just decoration — it becomes an active enhancer of chi in that life area.

For example:

·         North (Career): Water element themes, using blues and blacks to support flow and opportunity.

·         South West (Romance & Partnership): Earth tones like yellows and browns enhance stability and connection.

These colour and element choices align with classical Feng Shui principles that associate each compass direction with certain elements and life aspects.

2.    Feng Shui Art as Custom, Functional Pieces

Rather than stock artwork that might clash with your energy map, Feng Shui art is bespoke and calibrated to work within the Architecture, Design and purpose of a space.

Each Limited edition artwork is:

·         Designed for a specific location

·         Created in harmony with the Five Element system

·         Printed on quality materials with acoustic backing to soften sound

·         Numbered as limited editions for authenticity and intention

This means they function as both aesthetic and energetic tools — improving visual appeal while supporting wellbeing.

3. Beyond Decoration: Art as Energy Architecture

The Spires Art collaboration highlights something crucial about Feng Shui Art: it’s integrated energy in architecture and design.

Where typical art may simply fill a blank wall, Feng Shui art is strategically considered:

·         It can help balance or enhance Chi in specific areas

·         It uses appropriate shapes and colours for the sector it occupies

·         It supports the flow of positive energy throughout the space

·         It engages with interior design as a holistic experience

This approach transforms artwork into a functional design asset — not just decoration.

4.   Feng Shui Art for Well-Being and Success

Art pieces created under these principles can support:

·         Health & harmony: calming imagery and colours that soothe the nervous system

·         Wealth & prosperity: dynamic elements such as flowing shapes or auspicious symbols

·         Career & ambition: water and metal elements that encourage movement and clarity

·         Relationships: warm, balanced tones that enhance emotional connection

The intention is that the art not only looks beautiful but feels right in the way it interacts with energy.

5.   Art + Feng Shui: A Holistic Design Philosophy

This blend of Feng Shui with bespoke art — as seen in the NS Interiors and Spires Art collaboration — effectively turns interior spaces into curated energy environments. Rather than relying solely on traditional décor principles, this method embraces psychology, symbolism, colour theory, and spatial dynamics for a deeper impact on wellbeing and experience.

Final Thought

Feng Shui art — especially when crafted with expertise and intention — is more than décor. It’s a bridge between ancient energy, wisdom, and contemporary interior aesthetics, designed to support your life paths and enhance environments on both visual and energetic levels. Want to explore your own space’s energy through Feng Shui art? Consider how artwork interacts with direction, element, and space — and how thoughtful choices can shift the feel of a room. Nicholas offers full advice and direction in choosing a specific piece of work, and in collaboration with Spires Art can create a totally unique collection for your project.
