Feng Shui Tips for Every Room in Your Home

How to channel positive energy throughout your home and reinvigorate your life

By Perry Santanachote

It’s springtime, finally! For many people, that also means it’s time for spring cleaning. But if you haven’t already, consider also applying feng shui principles to your home. You don’t need to buy anything—all it requires is an intentional approach to your surroundings.

Feng shui (pronounced fung shway) is an ancient Chinese discipline that literally translates to “wind water” and focuses on how to optimize the flow of positive energy—known as qi (pronounced chee)—in your home. “It’s basically considering how energy flows through your house as water or air naturally would,” says Jessie Kim, a feng shui consultant in California. “You want your home to be a space where you can relax and retreat, and feng shui is all about creating that space to make you feel recharged and rejuvenated so you can tackle the world the next day.”

The theory of feng shui is that the layout of a home and the placement of objects can maximize energy flow and improve your health, prosperity, and luck. But it’s also about balance. Master Pun-Yin, a feng shui consultant in New York, says that in order to increase the flow of qi, the five elements—water, earth, fire, wood, and metal—need to be in balance with each other. Think of it like a yin-yang quality, but five ways. 

  • Water is tied to intuition, sensitivity, fluctuation, and the flow of emotions.
  • Earth represents practicality, stability, conservatism, and responsibility.
  • Fire is associated with action, passion, ambition, and courage. 
  • Wood symbolizes organization, growth, persistence, and creativity.
  • Metal assists with confidence, creativity, materialism, and making friends. 

“You might realize something is off if you’re lacking clarity, motivation, serenity, or success in life,” says Pun-Yin. A feng shui consultation can offer more personalized insights, she says, incorporating Chinese astrology and an individual’s inherent five-element profile, but a good starting point is to follow some general rules. 

Make Feng Shui Work for You

Talismans, such as dragons, tortoises, and laughing Buddhas, are associated with the commercialization of feng shui and are not necessary. “Unless you get to the root of the energy imbalance within your mind and your space, no crystals or tacky trinkets can alter your destiny,” says Pun-Yin.

“Just because you read somewhere that a golden toad is a great thing to have for prosperity, don’t have one in your home if you don’t like frogs,” says Kim. “Feng shui has to work for your personality and your décor. Creating a good feng shui space doesn’t mean it has to look like a Chinese restaurant exploded in your house.”

The things in your home should mean something to you (they should spark joy) and represent where you want to be in your life—kind of like dressing for the job you want. Some things from your past are fine to display, but don’t let them take over your space. “Be intentional about what you put inside your home and relentless with getting rid of junk,” says Kim. “Looking forward to the future will keep you growing as a person.”

Create Energy Pathways

Think of energy going through your home like a wind current or water stream. Look for potential blockages and leakages. One major leakage would be a front door that lines up with the back door. “You don’t want energy coming in the front door and immediately draining into the backyard,” says Kim. “You want that energy to meander through the house and refuel people living in it before making its exit.” Room dividers, bookcases, and tall plants are all great ways to divide up a room and create clear energy pathways.

Also, open the windows at least once a day to let in fresh air. “Make sure you get good circulation going,” says Kim. “Air conditioners, fans, and air purifiers are fine, but fresh air is better. And don’t let these appliances overrun your space or get in the way. Make sure they’re not blowing directly at you when you’re sitting or sleeping, too. It weakens your energy.”

Feng Shui Tips for the Entryway

Make an Entrance
Level up your front door, especially if you live in a condo or apartment building where yours is one of many. Kim says to make your door stand out so it attracts good energy by hanging a wreath or setting out a fun door mat. If your homeowners association doesn’t allow any fun, at least wash your door, making it cleaner and shinier than your neighbors, and make sure the numbers are clearly marked. “If people and qi can’t find you, it’s like good opportunities passing you by,” says Kim.

Declutter
The front door is the energy portal to your home, says Kim. Proper entranceway feng shui will make it feel welcoming. Make sure the area is clean and clutter-free, as in no pile of shoes or packages. 

Set the Tone
The first thing you see when you open the door sets the tone for the entire home, so have pleasing objects on the major meridian positions to welcome you home with warmth and comfort, says Pun-Yin. These positions include the wall facing the entry, the corner diagonal to the entry, and the end of the hallway. 

Feng Shui Tips for the Kitchen

Safeguard the Stove
Kitchens are seen as the prosperity and health hub of the house. “You fuel yourself and your family in the kitchen, so you want to make sure your flame—in this case, the stove—is protected,” says Kim. “An open window or doorway next to a gas stove weakens the flame, and that’s less energy going into your food.” For the same reasons, you also want to keep your stove clean and in good condition.

Feature Fruit
Place a bowl of fruit in the middle of your kitchen island or dining table to attract prosperity and health energy to that space, says Kim.

Coordinate Your Cookware
Having cookware and small kitchen appliances in coordinated colors or textures tie together and ground the kitchen’s energy field, says Pun-Yin.

Feng Shui Tips for the Living Room

Rethink Your Seating Arrangement
Each room has a commanding position, which is essentially an anchor point that allows you to control the energy in the room. It’s always farthest from the door but not in line with it, so you should be able to see who’s coming without being able to see directly out the door. Your sofa and main chairs should be in this commanding position, says Kim. You want to avoid configuring seating that forces people to have their backs to the door. 

Soften the Edges
Remove anything with sharp edges or shiny surfaces that instantly get fingerprints and smudges on them. “The idea is to make this room soft, comfortable, and welcoming to your family and guests,” says Kim. “Make it conducive for people to gather, not like a sterile museum.”

Clear off the Coffee Table
A clutter-free coffee table is ideal, but if that’s unavoidable, Pun-Yin says to at least include something that soothes your mood. Fresh flowers or a plant, for instance, might induce good relationships in your life.  (Take note: Dried flowers and dead flowers will do quite the opposite. Fake flowers are better, but they’re still not emitting the same kind of energy that fresh blooms would.)

Feng Shui Tips for the Bedroom

Reposition the Bed
Avoid having your headboard under a window or on the same wall as the door. “You want to be in the commanding position, so make sure you can see the door without being directly in line with it,” says Kim.

Only Calm Energy Allowed
Bedrooms should only be for sleeping, resting, and reconnecting with your partner. Electronics, books, bills or paperwork, and plants—anything that produces active energy—should not be in the bedroom. (Plants become active at night to produce oxygen, so they’re considered active energy.)

Even for kids, make sure to create a space for them to recharge and rest so they can grow healthy. Kim says active items, like toys, stuffed animals, and video games should be in the living room or another playroom. If it has to be in their bedroom, put it in a cubby or a cabinet that they can close up and put away at night.

Be mindful of where you place mirrors in your bedrooms, too. Kim says to make sure your body’s not being reflected in the mirror while you’re sleeping because mirrors are constantly reflecting and moving, just like water. “When your body is reflected in the mirror, you’re basically next to a wave that it is constantly crashing into you,” she says.

Propagate Parity
“If you share a bedroom with a partner, create an even ground,” says Kim. “Make sure both bedside tables are the same size, and use the same light fixture. You want to create a balanced relationship of both of you helping each other out.”

Feng Shui Tips for the Bathroom

One-Way Traffic Only
“When you dump things in a bathroom, you don’t want anything to come back out—literally or figuratively,” says Kim. Keep bathrooms clean and keep your toilet lid closed. If it’s a bathroom that is not in use regularly, keep the sink drains closed. Some people put river rocks in the sink and shower to cover up the drain, but it’s still usable.

Clear the Air
Pun-Yin says to avoid stagnant and humid energy in the bathroom by using a dehumidifier. Alternatively, keep the door partially open.

Have Fun With It
“People tend to view the bathroom as the last thing to decorate, or they shut the door and try to hide it,” says Kim. “But it is there, so why not make it fun and exciting? Meaning, energetically colorful, bright, and sparkly. Make it a space that you and your guests enjoy as well. Make it part of your home.” Plants, paint, towels, and decorations are all fair game.

Feng Shui Tips for the Office

Be a Boss
Again, prioritize the room’s commanding position and place your desk there. “Try to avoid having your back to a window,” says Pun-Yin. “If you can’t, counteract the energy imbalance by placing a plant behind your chair or hanging a piece of jade from the back of your chair.” Jade is a stone that is believed to improve the balance of energy.

Keep an Eye on the Prize
Place objects that represent your past achievements behind you, preferably on a bookcase, and place something that motivates you in front of you, so you’re always looking toward the future.

6 Tips to Use Feng Shui to Improve Your Career and Finances

Feng shui can be a powerful tool to help improve your career, which in-turn can improve your financial success. By sprinkling a little feng shui into your home and workspace (even a home office), you can create a supportive environment to help you achieve your goals. Here are six tips that I often give on consultations for how to use feng shui to improve your career and finances:

  1. Activate your Career Area: In feng shui, the area of your home or office that represents your career as part of the bagua is located in the front-center of the space, just as you enter through the front door. To activate the Career Area, try hanging a picture or a painting of calm water that seems to flow into your home.
  2. Enhance your Fame & Reputation Area: The Fame & Reputation Area of your home or office is located in the far back center of the space when you enter through the front door. To enhance this area, add strong symbols like pictures of tall mountains, trees, etc. You can also use the colors of fire like red and orange. This can also be a great spot for other symbols of fire, like a fireplace or candles.
  3. Use the “command position”: In any room, the command position is the spot that allows you to see the door and have your back to a solid wall. You’ll feel more in-control and supported, which can be beneficial for your career, and thus your financial success. Try to sit in this position whenever possible, especially during work or study time.
  4. Keep your desk organized: A cluttered desk can block the flow of positive energy, which hinders your career and financial success. Make an effort to keep your desk organized to allow for a smooth flow of energy.
  5. Add symbols of success: Surround yourself with symbols of success, such as awards, certificates, or mementos of past achievements. You can even put up symbols of future success: pre-print that diploma or put up a fake Oscar award for now! They can help remind you of your accomplishments to provide motivation to continue striving for success.
  6. Invite in positive energy: Keep your home and office well-lit, which invites in positive energy. Open windows to let in fresh air and consider adding a water feature or plants to bring in a sense of abundance.

If you’re already familiar with feng shui, you might be wondering why I didn’t mention the Wealth & Prosperity Corner. We need to walk before we run. Be sure to get your career and basic finances figured out first.

Remember to keep an open mind. Have fun with the process so you can create some positive energy to improve your career and finances. The most important thing is to create a space that feels good to you and supports your aspirations.

Feng Shui Your Holiday Gathering

You may cringe when you think of the arguments that often arise during family gatherings like Christmas.  But, know that such holiday events can actually be harmonious.

Here are my simple tips on adding Feng Shui to your home and table for balance and happiness this holiday season.
Feng Shui Christmas Dinner

Power Positions

When family and friends visit you for several days over the holidays, remember not to give up your “power positions.”  Your power positions include the master bedroom and any rooms in the back part of the house.  By maintaining your power position, you can keep guests from overstaying their welcome or getting overly involved in your life.

You may have to deal with this creatively if your typical guest room is in the back of the house. In this situation, try to swap out the guest room for the home office.  Or set up an inviting area that can be used as a temporary guest room toward the front of the home, making sure guests feel welcome.

Table Setting

When setting the table, don’t let guests sit at the head of the table,  Rather, always the head of the household should sit there.

Pull out your fancy china since you are gathering with family and friends who are your most prized “possessions.”  This is not the time to use paper plates.

Furniture and Decorations

When arranging furniture and decorations, make sure that no sharp corners (poison arrows) point where people sit.  Round or oval tables are best to avoid bad energy.

Keep heavy decorative items below the level of people’s heads.  Having them high up can create nervous energy and encourage heavy conversations.  With all of the recent news, it would probably be best to avoid heavy conversations!

Put all these tips to use and watch your holiday become a lot more harmonious!

Feng Shui Your Holiday Table for Harmony This Season

For those who dread the arguments that tend to come with family holiday celebrations, know that it doesn’t have to be that way.

Here are some tips on how to Feng Shui your home and holiday table for harmony and happiness this season.

When families or friends are visiting for an extended period over the holidays, it’s important not to give up your “power positions.”Feng Shui Christmas Dinner

Keeping your power positions enables you to keep your guests from overstaying their welcome or meddle in your business. The first step in keeping your power position is not giving up your master bedroom or any of the bedrooms that are at the back part of the house.

It might take creativity if the guest room is in the back of the house. If this is your situation, before guests arrive, try to swap out the guest room for the home office or set up an inviting area that can be used as a temporary guest room toward the front of the home so that guests will feel welcome and your power position will be protected.

When determining your holiday table setting, always seat the head of the household at the head of the table. It’s also important to use fancy china because you are gathering with family and friends who are your most prized “possessions,” and who should never be served on paper plates.

Also if possible, avoid decorating with furniture that has sharp corners pointing to where everyone is sitting. The best furniture items would be round or oval tables, which naturally do not have edges. In Feng Shui, if furniture corners point a straight path to someone, we envision poison arrows shooting out of those corners and creating bad energy. You definitely don’t want to seat family and friends in that path of bad energy. Also, make sure there are no heavy decorative items that are above people’s heads because those decorations create nervous energy and encourage heavy conversations to flow.

Put all these tips to use and watch your holiday become a lot more harmonious!

Mirrors in Feng Shui

Mirrors have a very interesting relationship with Feng Shui.  Of course, they’re great at making rooms seem more spacious and seem to amplify light.  In Feng Shui, they are a symbol of the water element and we can utilize their incredible ability to reflect virtually everything, including Feng Shui energy called Chi (or “Qi”).

Often used as a cure for a variety of Feng Shui challenges, mirrors are used to reflect and direct both positive and negative Chi energy however we see fit.

But, where do we want that energy to go?  Well, that all depends on the area of the home we’re trying to enhance.

Using Mirrors Outside

As I have highlighted in previous posts, certain types of mirrors can be used to deflect negative energy coming from a neighbor’s front door aligned with yours, used to deflect overwhelming energy at a T-intersection, and can deflect churning energy on a cul-de-sac or corner lot.

Place your convex Bagua mirror above your door on the interior wall facing toward the street. Yes, you won’t actually see the mirror.

Place your convex Bagua mirror above your door on the interior wall facing toward the street. Yes, you won’t actually see the mirror.

As a quick cure for any of the above, the best choice is to simply place a convex Bagua mirror above your front door facing the street (such that the reflection virtually goes through your wall).

Now, let’s discuss how we use mirrors at various locations inside the home.

Mirrors in the Bedroom

Never place a mirror where it will face a bed.  Think of a mirror as a magnifying glass that will amplify energy flow toward your body as you sleep.  One problem with this is that it causes restlessness.

Mirrors in Bedrooms are Bad Feng Shui

Worse, many of my clients that previously had mirrors facing their bed complained of pain such as headaches, leg aches or stomach cramps — which had been exactly where their mirrors were facing.  Remove the mirror and voila!  No more pain.

Again, never have a mirror that faces those sleeping in the bed, even on the ceiling (sorry guys).  In fact, it is best to leave mirrors out of bedrooms altogether.

Mirrors in the Bathroom

Water is the dominant element in a bathroom.  Mirrors enhance your space and allow you to get a perspective on yourself.  We often look in the mirror to improve ourselves, right?  Well, we might as well improve every part we can.

Feng Shui Full Length Mirrors

Thus, I suggest a full-length mirror in the bathroom, such that its reflection does not cut off any parts of your body.

Mirrors in Bagua Areas

Some Bagua areas will benefit from mirrors more than others.  In particular, mirrors are good to use in the Career & Life Path Area (but not toward your front door), Family Area, and Wealth & Prosperity Corner.

Try to use corresponding colors, materials, and shapes for the mirror and its frame when possible.  For example, use a vertical rectangular mirror with a green and/or wooden frame in the Family Area.

Avoid using mirrors of any kind in your Fame & Reputation Area, as this will extinguish your fire element that is necessary here.

Best Practices

Placing a mirror at your front foyer toward your front door is bad because it pushes back all of the Chi entering your home, preventing it from energizing your house.

Avoid having mirrors that face each other.  This can create a barrier that will stop energy from flowing through your home.

Don’t overdo it with mirrors, especially all in one place.  Sometimes, less is more.

Replace chipped or cracked mirrors.  Relationships are negatively affected by broken mirrors.

Give children full-length mirrors to improve their self-esteem.

Unless your fireplace is in the Fame & Reputation Area of your home, you may want to douse it with figurative water.  Hang a mirror directly over your fireplace to neutralize its effects.

Adding some plants near a mirror will rejuvenate and enhance the flow of Chi energy through your surroundings.

Mirrors should always be framed around their edges.
