Try Round Kitchen Table

Try Round Kitchen TableIn the modern days, new designed kitchen tables are the new hit. The round kitchen tables are in by kicking out sharp angular kitchen tables. Do you follow Feng Shui manual? If then, no need to tell you the reasons.  You may better know that your kitchen will be that much more in harmony if your kitchen table is either round or oval. Now if you already have a rectangular kitchen table, then at least try to have its corners rounded.

Taking Feng Shui a little further, try to get your round kitchen table colored in yellow. So in that case pine or another light colored wood seems like a better choice.
Now if you are not a Feng Shui fan, then also we have options. Don’t worry.  In such a case we can consider the other very practical advantages of round kitchen tables. Primarily you can always find room to seat one more person around a round kitchen table. At times you may have a large family or many people to visit and this table will be much helpful. The long as you have enough kitchen chairs, you could squeeze one more person in.

As there are no sharp corners that protrude from the table, these round kitchen tables are a better bet if you have small children running around. You can always try putting padding for protectors on the right-angled corners of the square table. Another advantage of round table is that it will stay beautiful as it won’t need for any further protection. The few soft curves and circles on the table will make a welcome visual break as well.

There is also a social aspect to these round kitchen tables that makes it a welcome design. There is no “pecking order” in terms of who sits where. Escape from hierarchical protocol. If you need to get people involved in discussions and feeling fully part of the coffee meeting, the round tables will be the best option.

Directional Feng Shui

Directional Feng ShuiFeng Shui involves setting the environment in such a way that one can get the best of energies from all the directions. For doing so, you need to get a regular old compass and find the four major directions within the place you want to reposition:

North: Black is the color of north. Water is its element and turtle is its animal. The Feng Shui, if balanced, brings in a refreshing energy of calm, purity, freshness and ease. 

South: Red is the color of south. Fire is its element and phoenix is its animal. The element of fire brings in a supporting energy in your career efforts. This element helps you to achieve recognition in your professional life. 

East: Green is the color of east. Wood is its element and dragon is its animal.

West: White is the color of west. Metal is its element and the fierce tiger is its animal. The metal element brings the qualities of efficiency, precision, clarity and sharpness once the element is balanced. Feng Shui metal element will help you live with lightness and clarity.

The key is to determine which direction(s) best matches your goals and visually enhances that corner of your living space with its corresponding color, element or animal.

How to design your Feng Shui garden?

How to design your Feng Shui garden?Feng Shui is the art of directing the energy of an environment. Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of placement. The Chinese believe that “by placing things to encourage the beneficial flow of Chi (Energy Force) you can create harmonious change which affects your health, wealth and relationships.”
The art is gaining its popularity in West. If you want to create the beneficial Chi in your environment, then here are a few tips about how to blend the fundamentals of Feng Shui in your garden with your own creativity.

The path: When you are planning your Feng Shui garden keep in mind that the path should be NEVER straight, otherwise chi energy would tend to run too quickly towards your home. Chi energy requires slow and free movement. Hence, make sure that the path in your garden has curves. To realize this, grow plants over the curved path so that the chi energy moves slowly and freely.

Living spaces: Since the basic principle of Feng Shui is to provide a sense of relaxation to you, the garden should have living spaces where you can chill-out with your friends and enjoy the sunshine and cool breeze.

The Wood: Your Feng Shui garden should have large trees and shrubs to provide privacy and protection at the back of the garden.

Mix and match: The Wood in your garden should not be dominated by a single species. So, mix the colors, shapes and sizes of the plants.

Boost up the “Yin” energy: water features such as ponds, pools and fountains are beneficial chi. Don’t forget to add this element because this adds the yin(feminine) energy to your garden.

Boost up the “Yang” energy: “Yang” stands for masculine energy. So, boost up your energy by using garden lights to add light to the garden’s dark areas.

Balance and harmony is the key word of a beautiful Feng Shui garden. Get inspired by your unique Feng Shui garden and spread the positive energy in you!
