Fengshui Tips For Interiors

By applying simple Feng Shui principles to your own lifestyle, your home can become truly ideal for you and can have dramatic effects on your life.

            There should be no footwear lying around outside the main door of the house. Allow that space at the main door to be free and clear. Keep passages and entrances as open and airy as possible to ensure the flow of good energies into the house. Other points

1.  Place an indoor water fountain on the northeast side. This position is a favorable area to attract whatever you want inn your life.

2.  If you already have an aquarium, fishbowl or similar water feature in your house, place them carefully. Feng Shui advises you to avoid them in bedrooms. Since the north is ruled by the water element, a fish tank placed correctly can bring about greater fortune, as you will tap on the "Divine Water Dragon's Den". But if you tap wrongly, it can cause you to have lawsuits, bankruptcy, work pressure, troubles and problems. If you noticed any of these after placing a fish tank for approximately four months, shift your fish tank to another location.

3.  Your bed should always have a solid wall behind it. A secure headboard backed by a solid wall, wnough space under the bed for air to circulate and no stored clutter beneath will ensure that you wake up in the morning feeling fresh and well rested.

4.  There should be no exposed beam above your bed. Such a beam is oppressive and divisive. Therefore, don't place any furniture underneath it. In fact anything hanging over a bed is a disturbing influence.

5.  Modern interpretation of Feng Shui say there should be no television sets, stereo sets or computers in your bedroom. Electromagnetic waves generated by such appliances will disturb the sleep patterns of sensitive individuals. If you must keep them there turn them off well before bedtime and cover with a heavy cloth.

6.  There should be no mirrors reflecting your bed. A turned off television screen also has a reflective surface like a mirror. Mirrors relecting a sleeping couple are thought to create discord between them. Therefore position them elsewhere or have them build inside wardrobe doors.

7.  Don't sleep on a double bed with two separated single mattresses because this creates friction in a marriage. (Two separate single beds are not a problem however). Also never sleep with your feet directly facing the door, because this was the traditional position to lay out a dead person before the funeral.

8.  use restful colours in children's rooms. Provide storage for toys and books so that they can be put away at night. A rrom in the east which receives the sunrise is perfect for a growing child.

9.  Use natural material to furnish a child's room. A study desk should be placed so that the child doesn't sit with his back to the door, which would tend to make him restless. The child should face the door with a solid wall behind him. A picture of a mountain hung on that wall will provide extra support. 

10.  Do not allow children to sleep on bund beds even it means saying space. They depress the chi of both children. The one on the top bunk is too close to the ceiling and the one below is cramped by having another child, often a fidgety sleeper, directly above him. Canopies over children's beds are also avoidable for the same reason. It hampers the free flow of chi. Hanging up wind chimes and crystal globes will encourage good energies.

11.  Always open your bedroom windows for at least 20 minutes a day. We do this so that it allows frest new chi to circulate in your bedroom; if not, you would be sleeping with stale chi every night. So open that window and never mind if dust comes in.
