As world-renowned Chinese metaphysic consultant, Joey Yap puts it, you don’t have to sacrifice your home’s style just for good luck. Here, Joey shares some simple Feng Shui rules to follow that won’t cramp your home’s look.

Interior Firm: Space Atelier

“Feng Shui is all about harnessing the 'Qi' (flow of energy) in your home, which are the natural energies found in your surrounding environment. Rather than overwhelming your space with artwork and items, focus on finding and circulating the good 'Qi'. Pay attention to the location and directions of your home, its rooms and the important furnishings used in it,” he says.

For the Overall Home:

Don’t get caught up with Feng Shui ‘decorations’

The market is flooded with objects claiming to emit negative or positive 'Qi'. This is superstition. Good energies come from the environment and hence, decorations and objects cannot do much to the overall Feng Shui of property.

For the Foyer/Living Room:

Don’t align the main door with the kitchen door/back door

When you have the two doors aligned, this means that the good energies are simply passing through. Instead, install a partition to ‘block’ its path and allow it to circulate and disperse to the rest of your home.

Don’t obstruct the main door

Good 'Qi' enters the home through your main door. Keep it free from obstructions both inside and outside to allow positive energies to flow smoothly into your space. On the outside, leave adequate space for 'Qi' to collect before entering your home.

If possible, add a water feature

If possible, get a gentle, flowing water feature outside the main door to facilitate the collection of 'Qi'.  Though, do consult a Feng Shui expert first before installing one!

For the Kitchen:

Interior Firm: Ascenders Design Studio

Keep your stove and sink at least 1 feet away (and not opposite) each other

Have at least 1 feet of space between a 'Fire' element object (e.g. stove, cooktop, oven) and a 'Water' element object (e.g. sink). This is to prevent a ‘Fire and Water clash’ which could promote health problems like high and low blood pressure or heart-related conditions. It is important to not have them located directly opposite one another as well.

Locate your kitchen at the side of your house

If possible, try to align your kitchen to the side sectors of your house. Do not have your cooking area in the centre of your home, as this creates instability and long-term health issues.

For the Bedroom:

Interior Firm: Image Creative Design

Keep your bedroom bright and airy

Keep your bedroom well ventilated and lit. A stuffy, dim bedroom negates any good energies. Regularly open the windows in your bedroom to facilitate the flow of good energy.

Have sharp edges from other furniture point away from the bed

Sharp edges from tables, cabinets and other furniture and décor should not point towards your bed. These edges are like ‘arrows’ that weaken your energy and affect your health and well-being.

Ensure your door is not directly facing your bed

For a better night’s sleep and improved relationships with your other half, make sure your bedroom door is not facing the bed, and that you are not sleeping underneath an exposed beam.

For the Bathroom:

Interior Firm: Adroit ID

Keep it clean and organised

It’s a common misconception that toilets ‘flush’ away wealth and emits negative Qi. Instead, it is important to keep the bathroom clean and hygienic. As long as it does not emit an unpleasant odour, it should not pose much of an issue.

Avoid having the room door facing the toilet door directly

Having the toilet and bedroom doors aligned facing each other will allow positive energies to simply pass through, instead of circulating within the room.

For the Study:

Interior Firm: Fineline Design

Avoid using a dark, small and windowless room

The study is where you take important steps to improve your financial position in life, whether it be work, studies or reading. Try to keep this area bright and well-ventilated.

Interior Firm: The Local INN.terior

Avoid aligning the desk with your door

Don’t have your seat (and therefore back) facing directly towards the door. Doing so might affect the flow of 'Qi' and cause distractions in the study.
