Feng Shui Design for Wedding Venues: Creating a Harmonious and Romantic Atmosphere
Weddings are a joyous occasion, but planning one can be quite stressful. A lot goes into making a wedding day perfect, including the choice of venue. While it may seem that many couples choose their wedding venue based on location and cost alone, they can truly fall in love with the positive energy and atmosphere of a space — making everything else seem less important. This is where feng shui design principles come in. Feng shui can help create the harmonious and romantic atmosphere in a venue that they can’t resist for their big day. I know this from firsthand experience!
Feng shui is an ancient Chinese practice that seeks to balance the energy, or “chi,” in a space. By applying feng shui principles to the design of a wedding venue, we can create an environment that promotes feelings of love and romance.
An important aspect of feng shui design for wedding venues is the use of natural elements. Appropriately incorporating plants, water features, and natural materials like wood and stone can help to create a soothing atmosphere and connect the couple with nature. These elements can also promote feelings of tranquility and harmony, which are crucial for a successful wedding ceremony.
Proper feng shui design for wedding venues should also include other features such as comfortable seating, romantic lighting, and art that promotes feelings of love and passion. The goal is to create an environment that promotes feelings of love and romance for the happy couple and their guests.
The application of feng shui principles in the design of wedding venues can create a harmonious and romantic atmosphere. With the appropriate integration of nature and other feng shui elements, the wedding venue can add to the special day for the bride and groom.

Is it Good Feng Shui to Have a Fireplace in the Bedroom?
Fireplaces can add warmth, aroma, and ambiance to your room, but is it good feng shui to have a fireplace specifically in your bedroom? My short answer is generally no. In fact, when I work with home builders, I always suggest they remove plans to automatically include a fireplace in any bedroom.
Here are a few reasons why it is bad feng shui to have a fireplace in your bedroom:
- Fireplaces provide exciting energy. In feng shui, fire is associated with passion, excitement, and transformation. These can certainly be positive qualities in some areas of your home, but not here. Your bedroom is a space to get some rest and relaxation.
- Fireplaces can be a safety hazard. A fireplace increases the risk of fire in your home. Even if you don’t actively use your bedroom fireplace, it can create an unconscious sense of stress, which certainly doesn’t help you relax. Certainly never fall asleep with a fireplace on.
- Fireplaces can disrupt sleep. Heat and light emitted by your bedroom fireplace can interfere with your precious sleep. Your bedroom should be cool, dark, and quiet to help promote sleep. Fireplaces, however, can disrupt this balance.
So, what are some cures? Removing the fireplace altogether just isn’t usually practical. When I consult with my individual clients who already have a fireplace in their bedroom, we work together to try to mitigate its negative effects. A couple of suggestions include using a fireplace screen and keeping it turned off when not in use. I also suggest balancing the energy of the space by using other feng shui techniques, such as incorporating natural elements, a carefully-placed painting of calm water, or the use of soothing colors.

How to Feng Shui Your Bathroom
The bathroom is often overlooked when it comes to feng shui, but it’s an important space in the home that can greatly impact your energy and well-being.
Historically, homes didn’t have indoor bathrooms because there was no indoor plumbing. Try as I might with my home builder clients, there’s no avoiding indoor bathrooms now. If we don’t feng shui them appropriately, positive energy called chi could be drained, causing problems with your health, finances, career, etc.
Here are some tips to feng shui your bathroom:
- Choose the right colors. Select a color scheme appropriate to the section of the Bagua where your bathroom is located. There’s no need to paint the whole bathroom – simply accenting the area with décor should be fine.
- Use natural elements & shapes. Incorporate elements and shapes appropriate to the Gua where your bathroom is located.
- Use soft lighting. Bright lighting can be stressful, so it’s best to use soft, indirect lighting in the bathroom whenever possible to create a soothing space. You can use dimmable lighting and vanity mirrors with focused lighting when necessary.
- Keep the bathroom clean and clutter-free. Clutter can create a sense of chaos. It disrupts the flow of energy, so it’s important to keep the bathroom clean and organized.
- Choose comfortable and relaxing materials. The materials you use in your bathroom can have a big impact on the energy of the space. Plush towels and rugs can create a sense of relaxation and comfort. Avoid hard, cold materials such as marble or concrete that can feel uninviting.
- Add the element of fun. Be creative and have fun when decorating your bathroom space. All of the energy coming into your bathroom is designed to go down the drain. Counteract that by creating an uplifting environment.
- Redden the drains. Wrap red duct tape or string around drains in the bathroom or even paint them red if they’re hidden by a cabinet. Doing so slows down chi energy that is escaping your home through the drains.
- Use bagua mirrors. Further slow escaping chi by reflecting it back up your drains with a flat bagua mirror placed underneath each drain.
Follow these tips and use the principles of feng shui in your bathroom design to improve your energy flow and stop the loss of uplifting energy in your home.

- Choose colors and materials that align with your desired energy. In feng shui, different colors and materials are believed to have different energies and properties.

- Incorporate natural elements. In feng shui, incorporating natural elements like plants, wood, and stone can help to bring a sense of balance and harmony to a space. In a small studio apartment, consider adding some natural elements to bring a sense of the outdoors inside.
- Use the bagua map to guide your design. The feng shui bagua is a map that helps practitioners understand how different areas of a space correspond to different aspects of a person’s life. By using the bagua map as a guide, you can create a space that supports your well-being and goals in each of the eight areas.

Choosing the Perfect Business Location with Feng Shui
Thinking of starting a new business? Talk about exciting and scary at the same time! Well, choosing the right location for your new venture is serious business. And feng shui can help!
Location, location, location is not only important for real estate, but also where to place your business. Here are five feng shui tips that I often give to my business clients to help them choose the perfect location for their business:
- Consider the main entrance. In feng shui, the main entrance of a building is where feng shui energy and your prosperity flows in. To attract positive energy, it’s best to locate the main entrance in a way that is good for your business. As a fairly obvious example, you’d want a retail store’s main entrance to be in an area with lots of foot traffic rather than hidden in a back alley. The main entrance of a therapist’s office, on the other hand, should be a little more discreet, though not hard to find.
- Look for a location with good energy. Find a location with good energy by looking for a place that is well-ventilated and has plenty of natural light. Look at locations near sources of positive energy, like parks and bodies of water. Avoid locations that are located near negative elements, such as busy highways, cemeteries, hospitals, or areas that seem disorganized.
- Choose the right building shape. The shape of a building in feng shui is important because it can affect the flow of energy. For example, square or rectangular buildings are considered stable and grounding, while round or oval-shaped buildings are thought to promote creativity and flexibility. Choose a building shape that aligns with the goals and values of your business.
- Pick your numbers carefully. In feng shui, address and unit numbers have a symbolic meaning that can affect the energy of a location. For example, the number 8 is considered lucky and is often associated with abundance and prosperity. On the other hand, the number 4 is considered so unlucky in feng shui that most buildings in Asia skip the 4th floor. The numbers in your address should align with your business goals.
- Look for the right elements. The surroundings of and the materials used in the construction of your building are quite important to the success of your business. Understand the Five Elements and their meanings. Then, look at the elements around your prospective building’s location (bodies of water, trees, etc.) and the construction/elements already in your building (steel, wood, fireplaces, etc.). You’ll want to complement and balance what already exists there with appropriate elements in your tenant improvements and interior design while slightly favoring the element(s) that most aligns with your business goals.
Choosing the right location for your new venture is serious business! We haven’t even talked about your logo, yet, have we? While we’re at it, don’t forget to put some feng shui focus on your personal career path.

Using Convex Bagua Mirrors in Feng Shui
Convex bagua mirrors are a tool often used in feng shui to deflect negative energy. By deflecting negative energy, they may help prevent accidents, protect against theft, and calm overwhelming feelings.
Convex bagua mirrors are specifically shaped like an octagon. Each side and the center of the octagon represents one of the nine areas of the bagua, which in turn represent different aspects of life, including wealth, career, relationships, and health.
When I work with home builders, I advise them on creating housing developments that are most auspicious for future residents. We’ll work together to avoid or minimize homes located at T-intersections, the end of a cul-de-sac, corner lots, and in other situations where a home has poison arrows pointed at it.
If you already live in a home with any of these situations, however, there are often remedies. When I consult with homeowners, we’ll identify areas of concern and I will advise specific cures, which may include a convex bagua mirror.
There are several ways to use convex bagua mirrors in feng shui. One common placement is to hang the mirror just above the front door, facing outward. This is believed to deflect negative energy and protect the home from negative influences. If you have poison arrows facing toward your window, you may hang the mirror above the window, again, facing outward to deflect negative energy from the outside. Whether with a door or window, the mirror could be inside or outside of the wall as long as the reflective part of the mirror is facing outwards towards the negative energy.
Please ONLY use convex bagua mirrors for protection and NEVER use them to intentionally harm or bring negativity to others. Use them with caution, as they can be very powerful and can even reflect or amplify negative energy back at you if used incorrectly.
If you’re interested in using convex bagua mirrors for feng shui in your home or business, it’s important to consult with a feng shui expert to determine the best placement for maximum protection. When you use and place them appropriately, convex bagua mirrors can provide you with powerful protection by bringing positive energy to your space.
