Furniture placement and feng shui are closely linked as the former is a key element in the positive or negative flow of chi. It is crucial that furniture placement would not interfere, block, force, or even distort the positive flow of energy. Since this is so, you wouldn’t want to cram furniture pieces and accessories in a very tight place. If you need breathing space, so do does every room in your home.

Simple Feng Shui Rules

Now let’s get down to business. The first rule that you’ll have to remember is to raise the chairs, beds, and couches off the floor – but just a few inches, of course. This will allow the chi to flow freely throughout the room.

The best design approach is minimalism. Position every piece of furniture so that they face the entryway. Keep in mind that the entryway controls the chi as it flows into the room. This is true for desks, couches, stove, sink, beds and chairs. If this is a tad more difficult to achieve, then at least there should be no less than three feet of space between furniture pieces. This is also true with the night stand next to your bed and that couch paired to the coffee table.

Accessorizing can add your personal touch in any room. Place stuff that you usually use at eye level. This isn’t just great for chi, it is also functionally awesome since you can reach for them whenever you need ‘em.

Place your framed pictures at a level when they are not too high above eye level when you are seated. Hang huge pictures over an equally large furniture.

Furniture arrangement can bring about good fortune into different aspects of your life.

Here are some areas believed to be affected by feng shui –

This is the area where you want to be the luckiest. In essence, this is the west. The colors that you are supposed to use here are dark blue, white, or yellow. Fill your home with family photos, toys, framed awards and certificates, stones, crystals and any round-shaped accessories.
