Feng Shui Home Tips

Home Tips : Dining Room

Always use your intuition before making changes, consider first how it effects the rest of your decor. Do not just use traditional rules such as painting your front door red, it would cause disharmony if your home was peach or rose.

A mirror facing your table will double your food, the sign of riches and plenty: perhaps the center piece can be a full bowl of fresh, crystal, paper machete (etc), fruitful fruit!

Give the chair of honor (facing the door) to your guest.

Avoid sharp pointed buildings, wall corners, furniture or accessories pointed directly at your house, bed or desk. It is reminiscent of a cutting knife edge or a disapproving finger.

Where natural light is not readily available, especially in corridors and entry vestibules, make sure they are well illuminated.

Use round, oval, or octagonal shaped tables.

Your dining room shouldn't be too close to the front door, guests and family will eat and run.

Always try to eat facing one of your best directions.

Feeling under-the-weather, try to sit facing your Tien Ti.
