Why Peridot Is Perfect For Interior Design

One of the biggest interior design trends of recent times is biophilia, bringing the outdoors in and re-establishing our connection with nature. 

No doubt this was driven in large part by the pandemic, when we were all confined to our homes for a year or so, without much opportunity to go outside and get lots of lovely fresh air.

Ever since then, our homes have very much become an extension of the outside world, with growing interest in house plants, natural colours, fabrics and textures seen the length and breadth of the country, not only making our living spaces beautiful and serene but also helping to support our mental and emotional health and wellbeing at the same time.

If you’re looking for a new addition to your crystal collection that really taps into this biophilic trend, you could certainly do worse than bringing in peridot here and there.

This beautiful yellow-green stone is known as the extreme gem and has long been associated with the sun, renowned for its protective powers, helping to purify the mind, body and soul while relieving emotional burdens and allowing people to overcome depression, anxiety and fear.

Because peridot is considered to be a stone of abundance, it works well when focusing on feng shui at home. If you put it in the south-east corner of your home (also known as the wealth corner), you will be able to harness its energy to manifest wealth and prosperity in all areas of your life.

Alternatively, position it somewhere in the middle of your home, or in your children’s bedrooms, to help encourage a healthy atmosphere and offer everyone at home with this kind of protection.

Wherever you put your crystals, it’s important to clean their energy from time to time. You can do this by putting your peridot gems in the sun, allowing the warm rays to recharge it and increase its vibrations. Then all you have to do is sit back and let it work its magic once again.
