Do you have any good Feng Shui tips for home decorating.?

Question

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Decorate with pillows, plants, and pots, hide everything else. Choose colours that YOU like and keep it simple, clean and remove offensive clutter. :)

Answer 2

first, i think i need to ask you what fengshui is to you?

there is so little known about fengshui that is considered to be the authentic thing. most people refer to it as a feel, vibe, being cozy that uses colors, textures, furnitures, etc. - this is not fengshui.

even what most western fengshui writers write about clearing the space or clutter, or having a ba gua laid out putting things on the love section, career, etc. - this too is not fengshui.

next, what is fengshui all about? fengshui is a compilation of several concepts that uses the 5 elements (not beliefs, not philosophy, thus, you do not have to believe, and it will still be in effect): water, wood, fire, earth and metal to attract good health or more money into the lives of the occupants of the house.

it is difficult to talk about fengshui without you knowing the concepts. you can only learn them when you attend seminars offered by fengshui masters/ teachers. there is a book called a master course in fengshui by ms. eva wong, it teaches flying stars concept; while ms. lillian too wrote many books on 8 mansions or the east-west method. you need to note that though these authors wrote and explained 2 concepts, they failed to include the secret use/s of these concepts, which for me, can be learned from a fengshui master.

what is fengshui like, when you have your house audited? first the facing degree of your main door (of the house) is taken and used to calculate the different energy in the house. then if the house is not yet built, the main door, living room and bedroom goes to the areas with good energy; while the toilet, kitchen and storage rooms are located at the areas with bad energy. if the house is already built, then it will be adjusted accordingly.

most fengshui concepts are cross referenced with each other, so that at least 2 or more concepts supports what you did in certain areas of the house. the more concepts it supports, the more powerful and effective it can be.

this is just a simple sample. because it can be complicated when you use special methods to draw in money/ wealth with the use of water.

i am sorry, but there is just no shortcut to fengshui. and it is not a decorating tool. a house can have a very good fengshui, yet you won't see anything chinese in it, and you won't see a misplaced mirror.

people who uses mirrors, ba guas, and chimes can actually make matters worst. but they do it, because most fengshui books preach these.

i know, that fengshui can sound impossible and silly - i mean, how can water make some people rich? well, rich chinese businessmen consults a fengshui master whenever they are building their new skyscraper in hongkong. so, i guess there is truth in this when some people use this to make themselves richer.

fengshui do work. the best thing about it is that you don't need to believe in it. when a house has good fengshui, good money will flow into your life right away.

Answer 5

When friends come to my house, they comment that it is "cozy". Fen Shui is just a buzz word for the same effect.

When I design, I follow my heart with colors, shapes and textures. I think people get caught up in trends and forget their own vision.
