Looking for a way to improve the energy of a room while also elevating its design? Look no

further than using crystals to adorn your home. Crystals have been used for years as both

decorative items and to cleanse and rejuvenate a space, but how do you use them beyond their

natural beauty? 

With the help of experts, we put together a room-by-room guide on the best crystals to have in

your home. Whether you're looking to cleanse your new Chicago, IL, apartment before moving in or

manifesting a more peaceful space in your ornate Victorian-style home, read on to find out how to utilize

these crystals in your home design. 

Best crystals for a living area

Lapis lazuli

Amazonite
Himalayan salt
Blue calcite
Clear and rose quartz 
Moss agate

My top two crystals for the living room are lapis lazuli (throat chakra) and amazonite

(heart chakra). Lapiz lazuli encourages you to communicate freely with others, and it also adds

a layer of protective vibes. Amazonite is another useful crystal to balance the Yin and Yang

energies in a room, and it's also a stress reducer. The living room is usually dedicated to family

gatherings, so having crystals sprawled around that can cater to crowds or a faithful few is a

must. Both crystals can be placed in a small container on a table; however, make sure small

hands can't reach them. -Healthy Living Journey

The easiest way to integrate crystals into your home is to install a Himalayan salt lamp.

These lamps are a large orange chunk of Himalayan salt that has been bored out to accommodate

a light bulb. These lights emit beneficial negative ions into the room to provide a soothing effect.

-Emerald Energy Healing

Place a bowl of blue calcite crystals in any high socialized area such as a family room,

kitchen, or workspace. Blue calcite is the perfect stone to promote harmonious communication

and balance between parties. To keep your fruit from decaying quickly, add a few tumbled clear

quartz crystals to the basket, which will amplify their vitality longer. Consider adding tumbled

moss agate to your plant pots to prepare for spring as this will help them in their growth. -Crystal Reiki Center

The best crystal for your living room space would be a beautiful piece of rose quartz. The

living room space is where you entertain and have close family and friends, and rose quartz is a

stone that exudes calming, loving, and positive energies for those close to it. I would even go as

far as pairing it with a piece of clear quartz to amplify those loving energies. -Remember Love Healing

Best crystals for the entryway

Black tourmaline
Smokey, clear, and rose quartz
Selenite

Citrine
Jade
Amethyst
Obsidian

Crystals and gemstones can be placed in the entryway to enhance fortuitous opportunities

to come into your life. When customers ask me what stones to suggest for their healing journey,

I ask what they hope to call into their lives. The same principle applies to placing crystals in your

home, especially the front entrance as it's considered a "portal of energy" according to feng shui.

I suggest placing a large black tourmaline or smokey quartz either outside your front door or

inside your entryway for energetic protection and grounding. Clear quartz and selenite are also

helpful for protection and raising the vibrations in your home.

If you desire to attract love or create more harmony with your significant other, placing a rose

quartz at your entrance will create a loving and compassionate atmosphere. For attracting wealth,

place citrine or jade in a fountain in front of your door (with the water flowing toward your

house). To create a serene vibe, place amethyst as a focal point at your entrance or on the coffee

table in the living room. -Gemma Rose Jewelry

My favorite crystal combination for an entryway is selenite and rose quartz. Selenite is

known as a natural energy shifter and helps clear any negative energy from entering your home.

Once inside, I have rose quartz, also known as “The Heart Stone,” which carries an aura of

compassion, peace, and warmth to welcome in my guests. -Blossom & Stone

Using crystals to keep the energy in your entryway clean, clear, and high-vibe sets the tone

for your entire home. The entryway of your home is so many things: the gateway for energy

and guests to enter, a welcoming committee to you and your family, and most importantly, a

signal for you to leave the outside world and settle into your sanctuary. To create a welcoming

and energetically clean experience when entering your home, place a selenite lamp in this space

to clear heavy, dense, or negative energies and pair it with a black tourmaline over the doorway

to add a wonderful layer of protective energy.  -Sara Bryki Co.

We recommend placing a black tourmaline crystal in your entryway due to its protective

properties, which cleanses negative energy and provides a peaceful welcome home.

Alternatively, we recommend a clear quartz or amethyst crystal for a neutral decor style to create

a relaxing and calm ambiance. -Kiara Crystal

Use citrine for happiness and prosperity, obsidian for stability, smokey quartz to deflect negative

energy, and selenite to encourage peaceful, light, clean energy. Polished or raw, they can be placed

freestanding inside or outside the front door, at the base of a pot plant, on window ledges, or as beautiful

ornaments in any room of the home. Cleanse your crystals using light energy from the sun or moon, water,

incense and oils, sound bowls and music, fire, or earth (but remember that some stones are sensitive to

light and water). To connect with your crystals as you enter your home, just lightly touch them as you walk

past to activate and enjoy their wonderful energy and presence. -Rocky Road Mineral

Best crystals for the bedroom

Amethyst
Rose quartz

Selenite
Tourmaline

My favorite crystals to keep in the bedroom are amethyst (under the pillow or next to the

bed) and rose quartz (next to the bed), selenite (over a doorway or on the four bed corners),

and tourmaline (end of bed or next to the bed). Amethyst brings in calm and allows for sleep,

while rose quartz is a mother nurturer stone for self-love and releasing anxiety. Selenite is an

amplifier, a protection stone, and a bringer of white light and tourmaline is used for protection

and grounding. -Your Reiki Girl

We recommend blue lace agate and amethyst for a tranquil and calming environment. For

resultful sleep, you can try adding selenite under your bed or howlite under your pillow. You can

add rose quartz and ruby on your nightstand for increased romance. -Strawberry Moon

Best crystals for the kitchen

Amethyst
Clear and rose quartz
Selenite
Carnelian
Citrine

Black tourmaline
Black onyx
Shungite

We love having clear quartz crystals in our kitchen, either in clusters or towers. Our kitchen

windows are filled with plants, and they absolutely adore the energy of clear quartz, rose quartz,

and amethyst (which is also quartz-based), and they thrive around them. Selenite is also fabulous

in the kitchen as it helps keep the energy clean, clear, and filled with light. Just be sure not to

place any plants near or on top of selenite as it seems to stunt their growth and lifeforce. -The Sound Of Ashana

Create a joyful ambiance in your kitchen with carnelian and citrine. These are great stones

to inspire creativity in the kitchen because it delivers confidence, boosts creativity, stimulates

motivation, and increases stamina to make great food. These pieces shine bright in the middle of

a kitchen and work great together or separately. Stones that will offer protection against negative

influences and help you maintain a pure environment where you cook and enjoy your meals are

black tourmaline, black onyx, and shungite. We recommend putting this in a position closest to

the entrance of a kitchen where there’s the most foot traffic. -Amethyst Goddess

Best crystals for a home office

Tourmaline
Black onyx

Lapis lazuli
Amethyst
Blue lace agate

Black onyx is a stone of mental discernment, grounding, self-control, and discipline. Place

this healing crystal on the desk or nearby shelf where it will be glanced at often. Having a piece

of black onyx in the work/study area or home office helps with logical thinking and completing

tasks. Plus, it helps you feel centered and focused. -Natural Healing Gems

We love tourmaline as it's a great stone for removing negativity from any place in your

house. While studying, working, or even sleeping, it's important not to be influenced by negative

energy. -Gemstone Wisdom

Have a series of palm stones that you love near your computer so that you can hold one

while you're working – perhaps a lapis lazuli palm stone for tricky conversations, amethyst

for inspiration and creativity, or blue lace agate for keeping your cool. For the home,

selenite is an excellent stone to place near the front door or on window sills to act as a protective

shield, inviting positivity and calm and encouraging negativity to stay outside. -Amethyst Yoga And Healing

Best crystals for the garden

Quartz
Green aventurine
Labradorite
Obsidian

Quartz is like the grandfather of crystals because they help clear obstacles away and are

great for keeping pests from your flower beds. Tumbled green aventurine is also a great

addition to help keep your garden growing and flourishing because of its prosperous energy.

Lastly, raw labradorite, with its organic kaleidoscope of colors, may help your garden embrace

different outdoor conditions so they don't wither away at the first sign of seasonal changes. And

to get these crystals activated to start protecting your garden, simply give them a gentle cleaning

with mild soap and water. Then set your intentions for the crystals with a brief but meaningful

prayer or meditation, and place them in your gardens wherever your heart desires. -Sacredite Crystal Jewelry

Crystals choose you, so go with the crystal you are drawn to the most when picking the best

crystals for your home. That crystal will be exactly what you need at that moment and may be

sending you a message. But if you can't choose, obsidian is a great protective stone to have in the

garden and will suck up negative emotions before you enter the home. If you have a collection of

crystals, we'd recommend doing a few nights in the garden every so often to keep them charged.

-Llio

Green aventurine is an excellent crystal to place in your garden as it carries a powerful

energy of growth and renewal. Try placing it near struggling plants as it helps to overcome

depletion by bringing a great flow of life force and vitality. There's also a bonus that comes with

having green aventurine nearby; it's known as the stone of good luck and can also bring

prosperity. -Crystal Calm Living
