The right atmosphere with Fengshui 

Home Decor


Fengshui for doors 

Doors should open opposite each other. They should not be offset. If doors are offset use a mirror remedy. You should position the furniture as far away from opening doors as possible. Doors should open and close easily. They should be in proportion to the room size. If the door is too large it will allow the chi to escape fast. If the doors are too small it restricts the chi access. 

Fengshui for desks 

Never sit with your back to the door. If there is more than one door you need to position your desk so that you can see all the doors. Do not sit with your back to a west facing window. To attract fame and fortune have the desk facing south, south-east. To the left is your health area. Keep your out-tray here. To the right is your wealth enrichment, so keep your in-tray here. The right hand edge is your education, so keep reference books here. The left hand edge is where you should place your coffee. 

Fengshui for windows 

Windows should open outwards. Octagonal and arched windows are good fengshui. If windows open inwards you will need to establish the type of chi being let in. Opening inwards to the West may be a problem, so take action by blocking excess chi with an outward facing mirror or a plant on a windowsill.

Fengshui for curtains 

During daytime, the curtains should be pulled back. However, at night keep all the curtains closed. It is bad luck to have an exposed window looking into the black night. Blinds should only be of natural material such as wood. Chi filtering through blinds will take on the resonance of the blind colour. Curtains that hang limply each side of a window are bad fengshui. Curtains should have a little curve to them and should reach the floor. When the curtains are drawn together there should be masses of fabric hanging in pleats and folds. Curtains should be kept clean. Heavy fabrics for winter and lighter fabrics for summer are recommended. Plastic rings are bad fengshui. Always use natural products. Curtains should also open and close easily. 

Fengshui for staircase 

Chi flows both up and down a staircase. If the stairs are too close to the front door then the chi will flow straight out. The flow of chi can be broken by using a well positioned plant or wind-chime. Stairs with bends help the chi flow smoothly. However, too sharp a bend will block the chi. Place a mirror at the bend in the stairs. 

Fengshui for front door 

The front door should be in proportion to the house. If it is too large then too much chi escapes every time the door is opened. To prevent this hang a wind chime to reflect the chi back into the house. The front door should not face a lamp post or tree. The front door should not face the direction of the driveway. The interior of the front door should not face the back door. If the front door is too small you should hang mirrors on either side of it. 

Fengshui for bathroom 

A toilet with its seat left up will allow chi to drain away. Therefore it is important to keep the lid closed. Try to make sure the bathroom is not in your 'wang tsai' area which covers prosperity and wealth. The bathroom door should be closed as much as possible. Hang a mirror on the bathroom door facing outwards. If there is no window in the toilet hang a mirror above the toilet. 

Fengshui for living room

If your dining or kitchen area opens off the living room you will need to screen these off with a plant covered trellis or partition. Furniture should be arranged so the honoured guest faces the door. Be aware of corners or alcoves which are dead areas for the flow of chi. Use colour and light to lift these areas. You may also place a pot plant with round leaves there. The layout of seating is very important. Preferably seating should be arranged in a circle or octagon. The living room should not be cluttered with furniture. A large mirror in the room will help create the feeling of space. Avoid giving the television a place of importance in the room. The television should be enclosed in a cabinet. The room should be warm and cozy with pictures and ornaments.

Fengshui for dining room 

The honoured guest position should face the door. The door should not open too close to any chairs. Preferably the table should incorporate the octagonal 'Pa Kwa' shape. Make sure there is plenty of room to walk around the table. Mirrors will make the room feel larger. Don't locate the dining room to view the front door.
