Comfort and Function
 
Feng Shui is grounded on the principles of balance and harmony, and it seeks to bring this into your life as well. 

It begins with your home, where comfortable and functional furniture and decorative pieces take precedence over fashionable but meaningless items. Find joy in the old and familiar; if they have served you well in the past, they will continue to do so in the future. The goal is to make your home a place of languid tranquility and improved productivity; in bettering your home, you can likewise better yourself.

Wide Open Spaces

When good energy flows through your home, good fortune follows. The qi is the invisible energy that governs the universe and all those within it. It is the heart of Feng Shui, like water that flows through everything. When your home is open and unimpeded, good qi can flow into its four corners, and bring good tidings with it.

Ensure that your living spaces are open to the flow of qi. Furnish simply but tastefully, taking care to arrange objects so that they do not impede movement or action in a room. Consider minimalism, decorating your spaces so they have only what they need. In Feng Shui, a clear, uncluttered space makes for a clear, uncluttered life.
 
Commune with Nature

Plants can bring luck and happiness into your life as surely as they bring clear air and a refreshing atmosphere to your space, but be mindful of their placement. Bigger plants, especially those that can reach the ceiling, must not be in corners to avoid crowding the room. Likewise, smaller plants must be carefully positioned so that they are not swallowed by their surroundings.

Other natural elements, such as earth colors and textures, are also bearers of good tidings. Calming hues such as white, beige, or neutrals can foster a sense of serenity in an area, while bold accents like the crimson of a sunset or the cerulean of the ocean can add a touch of liveliness, so long as it is done artfully and minimally as dark colors are not generally considered good luck. A masterly combination of both sets a positive tone to the room. 

Natural textures like streaks in wood or waves of water help to create a sense of warmth and safety and familiarity as well, as these are elements in nature that have been with us since the beginning. 

Furniture Arrangement

Finally, bringing these elements together is perhaps the most crucial step to welcoming good qi and good fortune into your home.

Begin with a sturdy front door. In Feng Shui, your front door is your home’s protector. It is the entrance to your life and should be maintained carefully. Repair any damages your door might have sustained over the years, and always keep the entry clear of any obstacles. The living room must be the first visible place upon entering your home, and it must be a point of pride in the house. Ideally, couches and chairs do not face against doors or windows, but are backed to a wall instead. A neutral position as in an L-shaped couch is also desired to prevent conflict. If couches face one another, a table may be placed between them.

It is important that rooms are designed and maintained to suit their intended purposes. For example, bedrooms should be a sanctuary for their owners; a place where you may relax, without distractions or impediments. Offices are wealth areas, and should not be hindered by clutter that can affect productivity or bring financial loss. Such rooms are also the ideal places to display lucky charms to attract better fortune.
