Decorating with crystals is an amazing way to make the most of your space. Crystals are, let’s face it, stunning! Add to that the wonderful benefits of having crystals in your home and it’s a no-brainer!

Last week, I spoke about what crystals work best in the personal spaces of your home—your bedroom, office, and bathroom. This week, we’re going to dig into the communal spaces in your home—your kitchen, living room, and entryway—and look at the crystals that will bring you the most benefit in each space. 

Let’s get started with the first room in every home, the entryway!

Entryway

What could be better than being welcomed into your home with warm, cozy energy every day? 

The entryway makes the first impression for everyone who enters your home and it also sets the energetic tone for the entire home. With a few well-placed crystals, you can fill your entryway with safe, welcoming vibes that will permeate your whole home. 

Black Tourmaline

Black Tourmaline is one of the most powerful protection crystals, making it perfect for the entryway of any home. Place it above the front door or on your entryway table to bring protection to your home. It also filters out negativity. When you come into your home, Black Tourmaline helps you leave the negativity at the door—literally.

Obsidian

Another wonderful crystal for protection, Obsidian guards against negativity and brings cleansing energy to any environment. It can be placed in your entryway to keep negative energy from entering your home. Obsidian also encourages personal growth and inner balance—wonderful energies to bring into your home.

Citrine

Bring some sunshine into your home with Citrine! This crystal will bring positive energy into your entryway and fill the space with happiness and a care-free spirit. It is also a motivational crystal—it empowers you to bring joy, creativity, and prosperity into your home and your life. 

Hematite

Hematite absorbs any negative energy that is in the vicinity. This is wonderful for the entryway, as it can help to keep your home free of negativity and instead bring positivity into your space. This stone is very versatile when used in the home—really it can be placed in every corner of the home to protect against negative energy. 

Kitchen

While every home is different, I’ve always found that the kitchen is the heart of the home—it’s the space where we share food, where we gather, where we spend time with each other. It’s time to invest in creating a welcoming, nurturing environment and crystals are here to help!

Jade

Known as the stone of eternal youth, Jade can bring health and vitality into your home—and your life! Place a piece of Jade among your fresh herbs or plants to promote a healthy environment in your kitchen. Not a green thumb? Keeping Jade on your window sill or kitchen counter will bring abundance, love, and happiness into your home. 

Selenite/Satin Spar

With its calming and purifying energy, Selenite—or Satin Spar—is a wonderful addition to any kitchen. It helps keep the energy healthy and happy in the space, creating the perfect environment for spending time together as family and friends. Want to amp up the protective, cleansing properties of Selenite in your home? Place it in every corner of your home to wrap your home in protective energy. 

Rose Quartz

I mentioned before that the kitchen is the heart of your home, so it makes complete sense to bring a crystal into the space that can speak to the heart! Rose Quartz creates a loving, welcoming environment that brings something special when added to the kitchen. People will be happy to spend time and cook in a kitchen emanating the loving energy of Rose Quartz. It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “made with love”!

Citrine

The crystal of happiness, Citrine is another wonderful choice to bring into your kitchen. The sunshiney, upbeat energy of Citrine is sure to bring a smile to your face while you’re cooking. It also helps to get your creativity flowing—those new recipes don’t stand a chance! And bonus, it can help to boost your metabolism as well!

Living Room

A warm, inviting environment is what you want to cultivate in your living room. With crystals, you’ll be able to foster positive energy and benefit from the stunning decor—everything from clusters and geodes to freeforms and carvings can make a gorgeous addition to any coffee table and shelf.

Amethyst

A calming crystal with healing properties, Amethyst can help to create a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere in your living room. It also makes a beautiful piece on any bookshelf—its beautiful purple tones are beautiful and bring a sense of calm to your space. It is one of the most powerful healing crystals and its cleansing properties can help to keep your living room a wonderful place to hang out and relax.

Shungite

Living rooms often become a catchall space in the home—we eat there, we work, we hang out, we watch television. So having a crystal that can help to restore the emotional, spiritual, and physical balance to such a versatile space is very valuable. That’s why I love Shungite for the living room. It also blocks electromagnetic field (EMF) emissions which makes it perfect for any room where you keep your phone, television, and computer. 

Agate

There are many types of Agate, and they can all bring great energy to your living room. My favorite Agates for the living room are Green Moss Agate and Blue Lace Agate. Green Moss Agate has a peaceful and grounding energy that can help keep your living room a calm and inviting place. If you spend time talking or chatting in your living room, Blue Lace Agate helps facilitate authentic communication. 

Petrified Wood

Keep your living room cleansed of negativity by incorporating Petrified Wood into the space. Petrified Wood will also imbue the space with grounding energy and can help to physically rejuvenate you after a long day at work. 

It’s important to remember to clear crystals that are in the communal areas regularly—because these spaces are frequently used by multiple people, they can carry a lot of different energies. Keeping them cleared ensures that they will continue working wonders in your home.
