What is chakra activation and why is it needed?
Chakra activation has recently become a trend. However, you should not devalue this process and look at it superficially. First of all, you should understand that activation or opening of chakras is not always pleasant, and can be accompanied by both symptoms of physical ailments and cardinal changes in life. After all, the external world is nothing more than a reflection of the internal. When we change from the inside, our surroundings change too.
So is it worth activating or opening these chakras at all? In my opinion, yes. This process occurs in parallel with our spiritual development and is an integral part of it. In turn, spiritual development is the main purpose of our stay on earth. Moreover, the activation of each chakra is accompanied by the removal of blocks from it that prevent us from realizing ourselves in certain areas of life.
Now we will consider what the activation of each chakra can lead to, and at the same time, how to choose home decor for such activation.
Home Decor for Each Chakra Activation
Can such a material thing as home decor really influence such a spiritual process? 100% yes. Surely, it is only one of the factors, and if you completely ignore spiritual development, then home decor alone is unlikely to awaken your Kundalini.
In addition, it is important to consider how much time you spend at home. If you only sleep there, your decor will have less of an effect on you.
How does it work? Each chakra has its own corresponding color, mood, feeling, theme, element. Using these correspondences in your interior, you can contribute to its activation.
Root Chakra Activation Home Decor
The Root Chakra is associated with the color red, is responsible for vital energy, as well as for the lower layer of Maslow’s pyramid, a sense of security. Its activation brings a sense of stability and security into a person’s life, increases the level of vitality. Home decor for opening the Root Chakra should give a sense of security and stability.
It is good to use a carpet for these purposes, which will symbolize grounding; various blankets in which you can wrap yourself; a canopy over the bed, behind which you can hide. In addition, do not forget about color! Red is better to use as an accent – few people can feel safe in a room with red walls. This can be a red teapot, vase, chairs, sofa cushions, and, of course, art on the walls!
I often use red in my artworks. You can easily buy a digital version from my Etsy shop, print it out, choose a suitable frame, and voila – your decor now works for your spiritual development! 🙂
Svadhisthana Chakra Activation Home Decor
Svadhisthana is associated with orange, creativity, passion, sexual energy. Its opening increases libido, charges with inspiration, promotes the realization of talents. Home decor for opening Svadhisthana should inspire and give scope for creativity.
Open shelves with pencils, stickers, handicraft tools will be relevant for those who have the corresponding hobbies. Do not hide them in dark corners, make them part of the interior!
Pay attention to the bedroom – it should be, first of all, warm and pleasant to the touch. Sexual energy is present not only in the process of intercourse but also in all the sensations that we enjoy – a soft bedding, delicious coffee, the smell of flowers, etc. Use candles – a living flame resonates with the energy of this chakra. And, of course, do not forget about orange accents, which will also help activate your Svadhisthana.
Manipura Chakra Activation Home Decor
Manipura is associated with yellow, the sun, our ability to experience emotions, self-confidence. Removing blocks from it naturally leads to healthy self-esteem, better relationships, emotional health.
To activate Manipura, your home decor should evoke emotions in you. You can achieve this effect with the help of various things brought from your travels or gifts from significant people, and, of course, photographs. Let sunlight into the windows when possible, and take care of electric lighting. Lamps, floor lamps, garlands of bulbs are perfect. Also, do not forget about the yellow color in the decor.
Anahata Chakra Activation Home Decor
Anahata is the Heart Chakra, associated with green, love, trust, service, maternal principle. There is nothing better for its activation in the house than live plants in pots – green, lush, twining around the furniture, large and small! They not only help to open Anahata with their appearance, but also encourage you to take care of them, to nourish them, which is a manifestation of love and service in its purest form.
The heart chakra is associated with the element of water, so a bathtube in which you can lie down will also help to activate it. Soft chairs that seem to hug the person sitting in them, heart-shaped decorative items, and green accents are also suitable.
Vishuddha Chakra Activation Home Decor
Vishuddha is the Throat Chakra, associated with the color blue, the element of air, speech, voice, the way we declare ourselves in the outside world. Its activation helps to realize ourselves in society, career, defending our boundaries and interests among people.
For Vishuddha, it is good for the room to be spacious and well ventilated. If your home is small, no problem, just make sure that it is not cluttered and that there is as much “air” as possible.
Use posters on the walls with inscriptions that resonate with your opinion – this way they will “speak” for you around the clock. In general, choose decor that you personally like and that reflects your character, not something “fashionable” and “trendy”. The blue color in the interior will also help remove blocks from the Throat Chakra.

Third Eye Chakra Activation Home Decor
The Third Eye Chakra is responsible for our intuition, vision, knowledge, and is associated with dark blue. It is good for this chakra when there are large windows in the house, and even if they are not large, then clean, with open curtains. The same applies to mirrors, keep them clean and watch what they are reflecting.
Use spiritual things in the interior – dream catchers, statues of deities, tarot cards or oracles, gemstones, books on spiritual development. Actually, any books will help activate the Third Eye Chakra, so it will be great to make open bookshelves or a whole library. In addition, dark blue elements will not hurt, for example, a bed linen or a neon lamp.
Crown Chakra Activation Home Decor
The Crown Chakra is responsible for our connection with the Higher Powers. They say it is activated automatically when the other chakras are worked out. Sometimes it is attributed with a purple color, sometimes – neutral, or none at all. In my opinion, only one factor in the interior can really affect this chakra – it is the presence of a place for privacy. After all, to connect with the Higher Forces, we need the silence of the outside world and space to immerse ourselves in contact.
Well, that’s all I have! I hope this article will help you in two directions – working through chakra blocks and arranging a cozy and happy home.
