What Is Feng Shui?
Feng shui is the ancient Chinese practice of arranging your living space to encourage the flow of positive energy, or chi. It’s about creating balance, comfort, and intention in every room. When applied during your move, feng shui can help turn a chaotic process into one that’s calming and meaningful.
At ESV Removals Ltd, we’ve seen first-hand how incorporating feng shui into Brighton and Hove removals helps our customers feel more grounded and relaxed in their new space.
The Power of Secondhand Furniture
When it comes to furnishing your new home, secondhand furniture isn’t just a budget-friendly option, it fits perfectly with feng shui principles and Brighton’s eco-conscious lifestyle. Choosing quality preloved pieces means you’re surrounding yourself with items that have character, warmth, and history.
Secondhand furniture also gives you the chance to be intentional about what comes into your home. With Brighton removals on the rise, more people are downsizing or simplifying their lives. We often help customers transport vintage treasures from local markets or Facebook finds, adding unique charm to their new homes.
Sussex Removals with Care and Intention
As a trusted Hove removals company, we go beyond loading and unloading. We know how important it is for your furniture and belongings to arrive safely, and in the right place. If you’re setting up your home based on feng shui ideas, we’ll work with you to ensure items are placed purposefully, beds with strong wall support, desks facing the door, sofas in balanced positions.
We can also assist with dismantling, reassembly, and even furniture builds, which is especially helpful when integrating secondhand furniture into your setup. Our goal is to make your Brighton and Hove removals experience as seamless and personalised as possible.
Feng Shui Tips for Your Move
If you’re planning a move, here are some simple feng shui tips to keep in mind:
- Declutter before you pack. Only bring items that reflect who you are now.
- Clean your new space before moving in. It clears out any stagnant energy from previous occupants.
- Let in as much natural light as possible. Use mirrors to amplify it and create a brighter flow.
- Place key furniture in command positions. Beds, desks, and sofas should face the door without being directly in line with it.
- Use natural elements. Wood, water, metal, earth, and fire can all be represented through secondhand items like a wooden chair, a terracotta pot, or a brass lamp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you position furniture according to feng shui on moving day in Brighton and Hove?
Yes. If you want your bedhead on a solid wall, your desk facing the door, or your sofa positioned for better flow, just tell us when we arrive or share a quick room plan. We will place the key items first so you can build the room around them without constantly shifting heavy furniture.
Do you collect and deliver secondhand furniture from Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree, or Brighton vintage shops?
We do. If you have found a vintage sideboard, sofa, or dining table locally, we can collect it and deliver it to your new address in Brighton and Hove, including tight stairwells and narrow terraces. We will protect corners and wrap delicate finishes so older pieces arrive safely.
Can you move vintage or mid century furniture without damaging the finish?
Yes. Older furniture often scratches more easily than modern pieces, so we treat it differently. We use protective wrapping, corner protection, and careful loading so items like teak sideboards, display cabinets, and solid wood tables do not get knocked or scuffed in transit.
Local Pro Tip: Moving Mid Century Furniture Around Sussex
If you are moving teak, rosewood or veneer mid century pieces around Sussex, avoid wrapping them in plastic straight away. Our coastal air can trap moisture and create “blooming” or cloudy marks on finishes, especially if a piece has come from a cool storage unit. We recommend letting the item sit indoors for 10 to 15 minutes to acclimatise, then using a soft blanket wrap with corner protection. Also, remove any drawers and tape doors shut using low tack tape over a protective layer, because old catches can pop open on bumpy roads like the A27.
What if my building has tight stairs or no lift, like older Kemptown or Hanover flats?
That is very common in Brighton. We are used to narrow staircases, awkward turns, permit zones, and limited loading space. If you tell us the floor level and access details, we can plan the safest way to move larger items and reduce the risk of wall or bannister damage.
Can you help if I am downsizing and only want to move the “good energy” items?
Yes. A lot of Brighton moves involve downsizing or simplifying. If you are choosing what comes with you and what goes to storage, donation, or a buyer, we can help move only what you want to keep, plus transport selected items to storage if needed.
Do you reuse moving boxes and keep the move eco friendly where possible?
Yes. We reuse and recycle boxes where we can, offer a take back option for clean reusable boxes, and keep quotes and invoices paperless by default. We also prioritise Esso Ethos fuel where possible and plan routes to reduce unnecessary mileage.
