Master Feng Shui Furniture for Energy Boost
Feng Shui can help create balance and harmony in your home and workplace. A big part of that harmony is to choose the right furniture, which impacts the flow of energy or “Chi” in a room. This can either make the overall Feng Shui of the space better or worse. Here is some advice I provide to staging companies and new home builders for choosing the right furniture for Feng Shui.
Shapes
First and foremost, it’s important to consider the shape of the furniture. Each shape has its own unique energy. Round or circular shapes promote creativity and balance. Square and rectangular shapes promote health and grounding. Triangular shapes promote fame & reputation. Keep in mind the energy you want to promote in the room and choose furniture accordingly. Also be sure to follow the Bagua when choosing shapes for different spaces.
Size
Another important factor to consider is the size of the furniture. Furniture that is too large for a room can create a feeling of being overwhelmed. Furniture that is too small can create a feeling of being cramped. It’s important to choose furniture that is proportionate to the size of the room and that leaves enough space for movement and flow.
Material
The material of the furniture is also important to consider. Natural materials like wood and bamboo promote a sense of warmth and comfort. Metallic materials can create a feeling of coldness and detachment. Choose furniture made of natural materials that are comfortable and easy to clean. Keep in mind the Five Elements of Feng Shui (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water). Follow the Bagua and place furniture accordingly.
Placement
Placement is also very important when choosing furniture for Feng Shui. Be sure to place furniture in a way that allows for good flow and movement through the room.
Other Considerations
Choose furniture that is comfortable and functional. Avoid clutter and choose furniture that is easy to use and maintain. Place furniture that is comfortable and inviting to promote a sense of balance and harmony in the space.
Choosing the right furniture for Feng Shui is essential to creating balance and harmony in your home and workplace. With the right furniture, you can create a space that is comfortable, inviting, and in harmony with the principles of Feng Shui.
Next Steps
These furniture tips will help you build a calm space. But this is only one small part of the ancient art and science of Feng Shui, however. Remember, Feng Shui is all about creating balance and harmony in your space. Be sure to listen to your intuition and make changes that feel right for you.

Unlock the Magic of Wind Chimes in Feng Shui
Wind chimes are more than just decorative items that produce soothing sounds; they are powerful tools in the art of Feng Shui, and you can use them to enhance the flow of energy in your environment. The gentle tinkling of wind chimes helps to circulate positive energy called Qi (pronounced “chi”). You can strategically place them to attract abundance, peace, and harmony into your home or office.
The Purpose of Wind Chimes in Feng Shui
In Feng Shui, you use wind chimes to activate and enhance different areas of the Bagua map. The Bagua is an essential tool that divides your space into nine sections, each representing a different aspect of life. The sound they produce can dissolve negative energy, attract beneficial Qi, and create a sense of balance and tranquility.
Placement and Purpose
The placement of wind chimes is crucial in Feng Shui:
- Front Door: Hanging a wind chime near your front door can invite prosperity and positive energy into your home. Moreover, they can deflect negative energy from a variety of situations. Consider using a wind chime at your front door if you live on a corner lot, a T-intersection, or a cul-de-sac. I also suggest using them if you live a in high-traffic area like an apartment complex, condominium, or a mixed-use area.
- Windows: Placing wind chimes near windows allows them to catch the breeze and circulate fresh Qi throughout your space.
- Problem Areas: If there’s a space with stagnant or negative energy, wind chimes can help to dissipate and transform it. You should use them, for instance, if you are missing a gua from your Bagua map (typically if our home isn’t shaped like a rectangle) or if your front door opens directly to stairs.
- Backyard: Also consider using a wind chime in your back yard if your home backs up to a heavy traffic area or an alleyway.
Specifics Matter
There’s some debate about the materials and number of rods that you can use. However, I only suggest getting wind chimes with six metal rods.
Personal Touch
Choose wind chimes that otherwise resonate with you personally. The sound they produce should feel calming and pleasant, enhancing your overall well-being.
Wind chimes are a simple yet powerful way to harness Qi. They are only one small part of the ancient art and science of Feng Shui, however. Remember, Feng Shui is all about creating balance and harmony in your space. Be sure to listen to your intuition and make changes that feel right for you.

Fix Your Recessed Door: Feng Shui Made Easy
In Feng Shui, the front door of a home or office is the “mouth of chi”. It is one of the most important aspects of the building. It’s essential that this “mouth” is open and welcoming to allow for the flow of positive energy into the building. However, recessed front doors pose problems in Feng Shui and hinder the flow of chi.
A recessed front door can create a sense of invisibility. This makes it difficult for energy to enter the building. It can also make the entrance feel uninviting, which can deter potential opportunities and good luck. Any rooms even partially forward of the front door are also cut off from the Bagua map of the building. Fortunately, there are options…
2 Primary Recessed Door Cures
- Avoid Recessed Doors: When I work with home builders, I always encourage them to eliminate recessed doors. For my individual clients in the market for a home or office to buy or rent, I suggest they completely avoid properties with recessed doors.
- Move the Recessed Door: If you’re already in a home or office, however, and budget isn’t a concern, the best choice is to move the entry to the outer wall of the home or office.
Failing either of those options, there are other cures that will help, as follows:
6 Backup Recessed Door Cures
- Add Lighting: Adding lighting to a recessed front door can help to increase visibility and make the entrance more inviting. Install outdoor lighting or add a light fixture above the door.
- Add Plants: Adding plants to a recessed front door can help to create a more welcoming entrance. Add a potted plant on either side of the door. Make sure the plants do not get in the way of movement through the entry or block visibility from the street.
- Use a Concave Mirror: Placing a concave mirror near the front door can help to draw in chi energy to the entrance. A concave mirror is a particularly powerful tool in Feng Shui. Place it facing outward on the door, above the door, or on the wall next to the door to attract and amplify the energy. Mount the concave mirror higher than the tallest person who will enter.
- Paint or Change The Door: You can paint the front door in a bright color or change the door entirely to add more visibility and create a more inviting entrance. Red doors seem to work best, but may not be approved by your HOA.
- Swap Rooms: The recessed front door might have some rooms on any floor that are at least partially in front of the door. Only use these rooms for temporary guests or adult children you want to move out! Anyone you want permanently living in the house should be somewhere behind the line created by that recessed front door. At the very least, move their beds back.
- Consult a Feng Shui expert: Feng Shui experts can help to identify specific issues and provide tailored solutions to remedy them.
Next Steps
Recessed front doors can pose big problems in Feng Shui because they prevent the flow of positive energy into the building. If you follow the above tips, you’ll open your door to more positive energy and good luck. That’s only a small part of Feng Shui, however. There is so much more to learn and do to change your life for the better.
In your search for a Feng Shui expert, there are a lot of points to consider. While I would love to be the one you select, make sure you choose someone you are comfortable with.

Balancing Yin and Yang Energy for Harmony in Your Home
You’ve likely heard the term “yin-yang” and have probably seen the symbol for it several times. But, what is it really? In feng shui, yin and yang are about creating balance. These two opposing energies that work together and are present in everything. Their balance is key to creating both a calm and energetic environment. Like the old saying goes, “You can’t have day without the night.”
Yin Energy
Yin energy represents calm, coolness, and passivity. It is associated with the moon, the night, and feminine qualities. Spaces with yin energy are peaceful, nurturing, and restorative. Think of a cozy bedroom with soft lighting, gentle colors, and plush fabrics. Yin energy is important for areas where you plan to rest and relax, where you want to slowly recharge and be at peace.
Yang Energy
On the other hand, yang energy is active, warm, and ever-changing. It is linked to the sun, the day, and masculine attributes. Yang spaces are lively, stimulating, and exciting. Picture a bright, sunny kitchen with vibrant colors, energetic patterns, and plenty of natural light. Yang energy is important for areas where you desire activity and engagement, such as a living room, office, or a children’s playroom.
Balancing Your Home or Office
To create a balanced home or office, it’s important to integrate both yin and yang elements. Begin by identifying the primary function of each room and properly adjust the balance. For example, your bedroom should lean more towards yin to promote restful sleep, while your home office should have a stronger yang presence to enhance productivity and focus.
Incorporate yin elements like soft textures, muted colors, and curved lines in areas that need more calmness. Introduce yang features like bright hues, angular shapes, and lively patterns in spaces that benefit from a boost of energy. Additionally, pay attention to natural light, as it greatly influences the yin-yang balance. Use curtains, blinds, and mirrors to control and enhance the flow of light in your home.
Next Steps
Achieving harmony through the balance of yin and yang energy is an ongoing process and is only one small part of the world of feng shui. Regularly assess your spaces and make adjustments to maintain a nurturing and vibrant environment. By embracing the principles of yin and yang, you can create a home that supports your well-being and enriches your life.

Feng Shui Color Guide: Boost Your Home and Life Energy with the Right Hues
Color plays a crucial role in feng shui, the ancient Chinese art of creating balance and harmony in the home. Different colors represent different energies and can influence our emotions and overall well-being. Choosing the the best colors is important whether you are a home builder, resort hotel, or just looking to add color to your own home or office.
In feng shui, the use of color is an important tool for creating the desired energy and atmosphere in a space. I’ve gone over colors in a previous post, but wanted to dive into the individual colors a little more in-depth here.
Primary Colors
- Red: Red is a bold and powerful color that represents passion, energy, and vitality. Use red in feng shui to bring warmth and excitement to a space. Also use red to attract good luck and wealth, including for your front door. Be sure to use it in areas where you want to promote your fame & reputation. Be careful, though, because too much red can be overwhelming and create a chaotic atmosphere. It’s important to use red sparingly as an accent.
- Yellow: Yellow is a creative color. So, use yellow in artistic spaces or areas where you want to encourage new ideas. Yellow is the color for learning and can be a good choice for a study or library. However, too much yellow can be overwhelming and cause feelings of anxiety, so it’s important to use it in moderation.
- Blue: Blue is a calming and soothing color that represents tranquility and peace. It promotes relaxation and clear thinking, making it a great choice for a meditation space. Blue is the color for communication and can be a good choice for an office or study.
Secondary Colors
- Orange: Orange is a vibrant and cheerful color that brings joy and happiness. Orange promotes good digestion and healthy eating habits, making it a suitable choice for the kitchen.
- Green: Green is a calming and refreshing color that represents nature and growth. Green promotes healing and balance. It is a good choice for a bedroom or relaxation area. Because green is often the color of money, use it when you want to symbolize financial abundance.
- Purple: Purple is a color that represents royalty & luxury, features of prosperity & wealth. In feng shui, purple is a great choice for areas where you want to attract abundance. However, too much purple is overpowering, so try to use it as an accent color.
Alternative Colors
- Pink: Pink is a gentle and nurturing color that represents love, marriage, and intimacy. It is often used in feng shui to create a romantic atmosphere. Pink is a great choice for bedrooms and spaces where you want to promote intimacy.
- Black: Black is a powerful and grounding color that represents protection and career. In feng shui, use black to create a sense of depth and to anchor a space. Because it is associated with the water element, black enhances the career and life path areas. However, too much black can create a heavy or oppressive atmosphere, so it’s important to balance it with lighter colors.
- Grey: Grey is a neutral and balanced color that represents stability, calmness, and sophistication. In feng shui, use grey to create a serene and elegant atmosphere, especially to promote helpful people & travel. Grey is also associated with the metal element and can be used to enhance clarity and precision in a space. It is a versatile color that can be paired with other colors to create a harmonious environment.
- White: White is a pure and clean color that represents clarity, creativity, and new beginnings. In feng shui, use white to create a sense of openness and to promote a fresh start, so it is great to use in areas where children will spend their time. White is also associated with the metal element and can be used to enhance creativity. Because of its versatility, use white in any space to create a bright and uplifting atmosphere.
Follow the Bagua
While the energy of colors can be powerful, please make sure you align them fairly well within your space by observing the feng shui bagua. For instance, if you insert a lot of blue objects in your Fame & Reputation Area, you will figuratively douse the flames of your success.
In feng shui, the use of color is an important tool for creating the desired energy and atmosphere in a space. By understanding the energies associated with different colors, you can use them to enhance the energy and overall well-being of your home or office. Remember to use color in moderation and consider the desired energy and atmosphere when choosing colors for your space.
Next Steps
Keep in mind that color is only part of a holistic view of the feng shui energy of your space, and should be used together with the five elements, materials, the bagua, proper lighting, etc.
