Feng Shui Questions and Answers in Kitchens, Bathrooms and Storerooms

Question: How important is the Feng Shui of the home compared with the Feng Shui of the workplace?

Answer: No matter how important your work or business may be to you, and irrespective of the number of hours you actually spend at home, much of your Feng Shui luck is determined by the quality of Chi in your home. Even when children live away from home (when they are at boarding school, for example) the Feng Shui of their rooms at home plays a big part in determining the quality of the luck they enjoy. So it is worthwhile investing some time in arranging the Feng Shui of your home so that it is auspicious for every member of the family.

Question: Should we choose bedrooms on the basis of the Eight Mansions formula of auspicious locations or should we choose according to the trigrams arranged around the Pa Kua?

Answer: You will find that because there are different Feng Shui formulas offered there is some overlap and sometimes even contradicting recommendations that force you to make a choice between locations, corners, and directions. When in doubt my advice is to choose the recommendation that is the easiest to implement, or represents the least exposure to harmful poison arrows. In the practice of Feng Shui you will often need to make a decision between two or more alternatives. Use your own judgment to make the choices.

Question: If I discover that my main door is in an inauspicious location but I simply cannot change the door direction, what should I do?

Answer: Try to find another door which you can use as the main door. In doing so you may have to compromise a little; you may have to walk to the back of the house for example, or the new door may be made of glass and is therefore less suitable as the main entrance. But if you find that the alternative door allows you to enter your house through your auspicious direction, and if you find you can escape from severe poison arrows or from your total loss direction, then you should definitely accept the compromise. To change the main door all you need to do is to use the new door frequently and close up the old door.

Question: How important are colors in interior decoration Feng Shui?

Answer: Colors are not terribly important. But they do add to the smooth flow of energy when they are combined correctly, and when they blend in with the elemental energies of the different corners of the home. It is more important to know what colors not to use. Thus avoid bright red in the west and northwest; avoid blacks and blues in the south; avoid white and metallic in the east and southeast; and avoid green in the southwest andnortheast. There are many auspicious color combinations: green works well with blue; black works well with white and with green; red works well with yellow; and white works well with blue.

Question: Is there a right way and a wrong way of arranging furniture?

Answer: In Feng Shui interior decoration is less important than room alignments and layout, which control the flow of Chi. Having said that, if you arrange your furniture to facilitate the smooth flow of Chi through the house it adds to the harmony of flow. But remember that if the Feng Shui of your garden or surrounding environment is not taken care of, all the Feng Shui you do for the inside of the home cannot overcome bad Feng Shui from outside.

Question: How bad are the effects of clutter on Feng Shui?

Answer: I have been amazed at how this myth has been perpetuated. Clutter does not bring bad Feng Shui. I can assure you that I have seen perfectly neat houses suffer from the most horrific Feng Shui and I have seen pretty untidy homes enjoy excellent Feng Shui. It is a good idea to spring clean the house once a year to get rid of old tired energy. It is also a good idea to start the New Year with something new. But if you are the the type of person who keeps the home squeaky clean, may I assure you that from a Feng Shui perspective it really does not matter.

Question: How can I use Feng Shui in my small and very cramped studio apartment?

Answer: Use the Kua formula and implement all the recommendations of this Eight Mansions formula technique. When you have used this formula to improve your finances, find yourself an apartment that is less cramped. So focus on sitting and sleeping, directions and protect your main door.
