How to Incorporate Crystals Into Your Home

Our homes are where we go to recharge and regroup. They are a place of relaxation after a long day of work, a hub of positive energy when friends and family visit and a safe-haven to escape to with the people you love. 

There are many ways that people go about making their home into a healing and rejuvenating space. Some choose to embrace minimalism. Others do as the Danish do and include hygge decor in their space to enjoy the simple pleasures. 

One of the latest home decor trends has been decorating with crystals to create a rejuvenating space. Crystals come in many sizes but are generally smaller, so they can be embraced by any sized home. Not only are these gems beautiful to look at, but they’re believed to hold  certain healing energies that can positively impact your living space.

Popular crystals for the home

Amethyst is a popular stone, known for its deep purple color. This crystal represents clarity and is used to ward off the intoxication of deception. To promote truth and clarity, keep amethyst in your living and entertaining room, where people tend to gather.

Rose Quartz is known as the crystal of love. Its soft pink hue radiates a heartwarming energy that can help resolve anger and eliminate disappointments. To embrace eternal love towards others and yourself, use rose quartz when decorating your bedroom.

Calcite is popular in shades of emerald and orange. The orange hue has the power of the sun, shining through any darkness or negativity. Try incorporating orange calcite into your kitchen for a warm welcoming of nourishment.

Selenite is unique because of its cloudy white color. Selenite represents balance, harmony and peace. To create a peaceful place to rest your eyes, add selenite to your bedroom decor.

Shungite is dark gray in color. It is known as being a protection stone against electric and magnetic fields. Place shungite by the electronic devices in your home such as computers, microwaves, cell phones and televisions.

Black tourmaline is dark in color but has a translucent quality that makes it appealing. It’s used to protect while also energizing. Place black tourmaline by the entrance of your house to provide protection and turn any negative energy that may enter into  positive energy.
