Feng shui is a traditional Chinese practice that involves arranging the environment in a way that promotes harmony and balance with the natural world. This is done by considering the flow of energy, or "chi," and how it interacts with various elements in a space, such as furniture, colour, and lighting. Feng shui is often used in interior design and architecture to create spaces that are aesthetically pleasing and promote a sense of well-being. It is believed that practicing feng shui can promote good energy, prosperity, and health.


Everything in the universe is connected and that energy, or "chi" 气 flows through everything. By arranging the environment in a certain way, it is believed that the flow of energy can be optimized to promote health, happiness, and prosperity.


At the heart of fengshui lie the principles of energy flow, harmony and balance. Explore key concepts such as yin and yang, the five elements and the bagua map to harness the power of your surroundings. Here are some basic principles of fengshui:

  • The use of the BaGua (八卦) and 24 Mountains (24山) to divide a space into areas, each corresponding to a different aspect of life, such as wealth, health, and relationships.

  • Balancing of Yin and Yang (阴阳), which represent the interplay of opposite forces that create balance in the universe and in fengshui practice.

  • Balancing five elements (五行) of water, wood, fire, earth and metal are essential to fengshui and promote harmony and balance.

  • The importance of balance and harmony, achieved through the use of colour, lighting, and furniture placement.

  • Use of colours and lighting that promote positivity, relaxation and productivity in different areas of your living or working space.

  • Placement, style and symbolism of furniture and objects can influence the energy flow, balance and function of your space.

  • The avoidance of clutter, which will impact the flow of energy or trap stale negative energy.

  • Declutter and tidiness helps to create mental and emotional clarity, enhance focus and productivity, and promote overall wellbeing.

  • The use of natural materials, such as wood, metal and gemstone, to create a sense of grounding and connection to the natural world.

  • The use of symbols, shapes and objects, such as crystals and mirrors, to enhance the flow of energy in a space.

Feng shui is used in interior design and architecture, but it can also be applied to other areas of life, such as business and personal relationships. Applying feng shui can assist house occupants and business owners to improve their chances to achieve their goals and live a more fulfilling life.
