Seats should also be placed following an octagonal or circular shape. The arrangement should be never in a straight line.

Lighting:

Throw light in the corner and dark areas of your living room. That would attract chi to them which otherwise wouldn’t flow through those areas. Use decorative lighting arrangements which are neither too strong nor too dim.

Colors:

Warm colors are always preferable for cozier atmosphere in your living room. Color the walls of your Feng Shui living room with warm colors, colorful and comforting accessories and soft fabrics.

Use of cool colors such as blue and lavenders brings calm and restful feeling to your Feng Shui living room.

Mirrors:

Large mirrors create an illusion of space. If your living room is small, use large mirrors to open up the space.

The focal point:

The focal point in your Feng Shui living room should never be electronic equipment like Television. Keep the electronic equipments in a single furniture. Although you like much of entertainment, enclosing your television in a closed cabinet is preferable for your Feng Shui living room. Fireplace is an ideal focal point. Hence, arrange your furniture keeping in mind the centre of your living room that is the fire place.

Music:

Music symbolizes harmony and soothing effect. Create the desired effect by playing soothing music and let it vibrate all around your living room.

Feng Shui kitchen denotes health and prosperity. Kitchen is designated as the heart of the home, where healthy and nourishing food is cooked. Make sure that your Feng Shui kitchen is designed as to spread the chi all over your home. Here are a few tips on how to decorate your Feng Shui kitchen.

Keep the clutter away from your Feng Shui kitchen. Dirty kitchen will spread dirty energy which will in turn interfere with your ability to cook healthy and thereby affecting your health. Your ability to work hard and earn a good income will suffer as a result of poor nourishment. Hence, keep your kitchen free of clutter which is the very first step to design a Feng Shui kitchen. To realize this, clear the stored stale food from the freezer. Clean your food cupboards and refrigerator regularly.

The key element of your kitchen is undoubtedly the stove. Stove symbolizes wealth. If any part of the stove in working badly (burners, fan, oven light), replace it ASAP!

Make sure your stove placement allows the cook to have full view of the entire room. The cook should not face the wall while cooking. Place a mirror over the stove burner. This allows the cook the cook to have a full view of the kitchen, and can see all who enter without having to take her eyes off the stove.

Fresh cut flowers uplift the energy to your kitchen. A vase of fresh flowers on your kitchen table, windowsill is always welcoming and gives a positive energy to the cook to make delicious and nourishing cuisine. A bowl of fruits, preferably big oranges are also energizers to your kitchen. Place them in the kitchen table.

A very important thing in Feng Shui kitchen is the placement of the stove and sink. Since fire and water fight each other, place something green between the sink and the stove, say a live plant on a table in the centre of your kitchen. This ensures that arguments and conflicts do not occur in your family because fire and water are directly opposite each other.

Open up your kitchen space. Add mirrors above and around the stove. This will expand the appearance of the area. Hang a plant or a wind chime in the doorways, and place mirrors at opposite ends of the kitchen walk-through, to enable chi to flow unhampered through the narrow kitchen and into your home.
