The beauty of crystals and precious gemstones have for centuries been key pieces of décor in homes across the world, but they have so much more to offer. Crystals have energies and vibrations that can transform a space from a negative to a positive, and having them strategically placed around the house will help to create a calming, ambient home.
Many people have crystals as ornamental elements for their aesthetic, design contours, or even to add a pop of color to an area, but with a few minor placement changes, you can draw on their energy and harness their healing powers. All the while maintaining their bespoke creative appeal as you embrace the new metaphysical trend.
Let's take a look at the how and where within the home you can begin to place your crystals to ignite your auric field from the moment you walk in the front door, and to be enveloped by their vibrations as you go about your routine. When form meets function you have the best of the metaphysical world.
How To Arrange Crystals: The Great Outdoors
Use Your Intuition When Selecting The Crystal
There are subtle energies that a crystal will use to communicate so you must pay attention. It may draw your eye or when you hold it you can feel its energy. This is different for everyone so trust your gut feelings when choosing a crystal to place outside.
Try A Wooden Wind Chime In Your Garden Made With Crystals
You can hang a wind chime pretty much anywhere outside your home. Most important is that the chime is placed north or west to maximize feng shui or a northwest position is fine too. Using a big chunk of rose quartz or amethyst in your garden is also a great healing vibe for your plant life.
If you have a garden, placing Moss Agate with its natural green color amongst the bushes and plants will not only blend seamlessly but it promotes grounding energy around the garden while energizing foliage roots for stimulated growth. They also make great accent pieces so your garden still looks bespoke.
How To Arrange Crystals In The Entryway
An entry space in the home is as important, if not one of the top 3 most used spaces, as the rest of the areas. You arrive there, you leave there, and this moment of lingering helps set the tone moving forward. And when the area is decorated simplistically, yet functionally, you already feel better.
If you are coming home after a long day there is nothing more you want than to unwind, relax, and be surrounded by a calming energy, this is easily initiated with a few well-placed crystals as you come to the front door. You may have a small bench or side table where you can place your handbag while you search for your keys, by adding in a pot plant or humble décor tray you invite the calming energy into your soul.
Cleanse Your Homes Aura
Black Tourmaline: Negative Vibes Not Welcome Here!
Placing a crystal such as Black Tourmaline with a potted plant will help you take your mind off the day, and the crystals help to absorb the negativity you have attracted while out in the world so you always enter the home with good vibes. If you can place two pieces of this stone on either side of the doorframe you immediately create a protective barrier against external evil spirits.

This black stone along with Clear Quartz is the perfect combination of protection needed before entering the home. Together they dispel all negativity, release blockages in your crown and root chakra, and offer a healing vibration for any issues you may be experiencing whether physical, spiritual, or mental. Clear Quartz is also great in plants to promote growth.
Labradorite: Magical Force Field
Add some multi-colored labradorites into your entryway and create a force field around your aura. Labradorite protects and strengthens your energy and prevents others from tapping into your power. This blue crystal is pure magic and synchronizes opportunities that arise when we are in harmony.
Placing Crystals In Your Entryway Creates An Energetic Field Preventing The Chaos Of The World From Entering Your Home
Before putting your crystals in the foyer of your home be sure to do a detoxification of the space, both from material objects and stagnant energy. Clear all unnecessary items and put them in their correct places, we know how quickly things tend to pile up, and then take a moment to burn a sage smudge stick (at least once a month) to clear the air and create a cleansed area to walk into.
Once your entrance has been simplified, using the following crystals will bring balance to the space and invite a soothing essence as you enter your home.
You Must Be Intentional About Where YOu Place YOur Crystals
Selenite – A powerful stone that promotes peace and calm, by drawing on its nurturing vibrations you bring renewed mental clarity into your life and overall well-being. Place it in the corners of the room for maximum exposure.

Smoky Quartz – This gem is needed in high-traffic areas. It helps to keep the space grounded with the constant flow of energies in and out, and helps to disperse them away from our aura to keep us feeling light.
Thinking about where you put your crystals and finding the optimal spot for them to be both elegant in décor yet close enough to harness their metaphysical properties will take some time and practice. As you arrange the rooms from time to time you will get a sense (most likely from your guardian angels communicating with you from a higher realm) of where you feel its pull the strongest.
As you build your crystal collection with stones that speak to you, that you feel connected to, or have implemented to aid healing you can begin to place the stones in a crystal grid formation.
