Principles of Feng Shui in home design

When applied to home design, Feng Shui principles emphasize balance, orientation, and the strategic arrangement of furniture and decor. Key principles include:

1. Chi flow: Ensuring an unobstructed flow of energy through the home by decluttering and arranging furniture to create open pathways.
2. Five elements: Balancing the elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water to enhance different aspects of life. Each element is associated with specific colors and materials.
3. Bagua map: Using this energy map to divide a space into nine areas, each corresponding to different life aspects such as wealth, health, and relationships. Aligning these areas with the layout of the home can enhance specific energies.
4. Yin and yang: Achieving harmony by balancing opposing forces. Incorporating both soft, calming elements (Yin) and bright, active elements (Yang) creates a balanced environment.
5. Command position: Positioning key furniture pieces like the bed, desk, and stove so that you have a clear view of the room’s entry points, promoting a sense of security and control.
6. Natural light and air: Maximizing natural light and ensuring good air circulation to create a vibrant and healthy living space.
