why It is Important to Use Feng Shui in Design
As a lot of new homes are going up, I think this is an opportune time to show how Feng Shui in design can make a huge difference – the difference between a home where you'd feel great and that would support your health and wellbeing, and a home where you'd be uncomfortable and likely to get sick in the long run.
The difference lies in the underlying energies in a home. In Feng Shui we are working with these energies, and how these interact with the design elements and people there.
These energies are determined by the compass orientation of a place and the time period, in which it was built. They are set, and the best thing we can do is work with them rather than against!
A design example
Here is a simplified example of the qualities of Yin energies affecting a building – (it is an example only, each home is different). We will look at the Yin energies here, as they support you, your health and wellbeing, and for that reason are most important in a home.
The dark green areas, in this example, have very good Yin, and would be the most desirable areas to have your bedroom. The light green ones are OK, given that we decorate them right and place persons in them that are compatible with the relevant energies.
The red areas have very negative Yin. This is where you’d compromise your immune system if you'd slept there. You most likely would not to sleep well there. I have seen many people get sick with such energies in the long run – and have seen them get better after moving the bed out of such an area!
Our main objective is to avoid the negative areas and utilise the great Yin energies as much as possible. In a bedroom it is the energy in the wall behind your head that influences you while you sleep there for many hours every night.
a bad home
Let’s say this is your chosen design layout for a four-bedroom home. As you see, you could end up having placed some of the bedrooms with negative Yin (there are three terrible bedrooms in this example).
The good news is that you can fix such potential trouble very easily in the design stage. Even if you were restricted to a particular house plan, flipping it, can in some cases be a very good solution - as it is here.
a good home
In this example we flipped the plan. This made all bedrooms relatively positive. And with just one more small change, moving the bed onto another wall in the right bedroom, we were able to give this bed the very best Yin energies – creating an ideal bedroom.
If we wanted to take this further we could place the walk-in robe in a narrow room behind the bed in the bedroom on the left. That way the bedhead would benefit from the best Yin energies as well.
As you can see, it is important to appy Feng Shui in the design. I am available for design consultations in Melbourne, and remote design consultations around the world. Let me know if I can help.
