Are you ready for a new beginning in your space and your life? Finn Design’s Feng Shui expert Riitta Ylonen says it’s not too early to prepare for the clean start of spring. Soon we’ll see the end of the Winter Yin season and the start of the Spring Yang season.

It’s time to start spring cleaning if you haven’t started it already. Finn Design’s Riitta Ylonen is a state licensed interior designer and certified Feng Shui consultant, and she has tips to help you make the most of your space and give yourself a fresh start this season.

If there is no meaning or use for them, get rid of them. Also, Riitta says, broken items should be fixed or eliminated. Start from one closet or a cabinet. Clean, reorganize and remove items that gather and hold stagnant energy. From there, it’s good to do a thorough cleaning in the whole room or space.

This kind of thorough spring cleaning will have a direct effect on your well-being.
