For Your Living Room: A Mini Elephant
Some see elephants as sacred animals, and we think they’re pretty cute, too. Place a small elephant figurine on a shelf to help the good vibes flow in (and enjoy the well-traveled look it instantly adds to your living room).

For Above Your Door: A Hanging Horseshoe
Keep evil spirits far from your doorstep by hanging a horseshoe above the door. No matter which way you choose to hang this rustic décor piece (heels up or down), secure it tightly with seven nails for some extra positive energy.

For Your Nightstand: A Laughing Buddha
Popular in feng shui, a little laughing Buddha represents happiness and plentitude. Keep it in your bedroom and give his belly a rub whenever you want a little more luck on your side.

For Your Tabletop: A Four Leaf Clover
What better way to add some greenery to your home than with a lucky plant? Four leaf clovers may be hard to find, but if you manage to spot one, display it in a mason jar for a charming centerpiece. Otherwise, drop some serious hints for a desk-size bamboo plant – receiving it as a gift seals in the luck. (Just remember to thank us if you finally get that raise!)

For Your Porch: A Red Door
Amp up your curb appeal (and your personal forecast) by giving your front door a bright new colour coat. Since red often symbolizes luck and wealth, roll up your sleeves and paint on a fresh shade to kick start the good fortune.

For Your Bedroom: A Dream Catcher
