Feng Shui Tips & Guidelines

A triage is important to find out the root cause of the problem. Then, apply the fix or cure(s)...

This is the 1st Stage review and recommendations before architect works provide proposals to fine tune the interior of the home.

1. Often, a client who owns a penthouse unit that has a roof garden; would ask me: 1.1. Can I install a piece of roofing on my penthouse roof? 1.2. Many penthouse roof tops do have trellis. And most trellis are made of wood and are not enclosed. This is perfectly OK. As there are sufficient openings and if the trellis wood pieces are secure, no amount of wind would affect it. 1.3. BUT... if we are considering to install e.g. a piece of roofing SHEET: When we install e.g. such as the Dupont 2ply roofing material, if it is not secured properly and/or if there is an unusually large wind; may just blow the roof off. 1.3.1 And just imagine, the roof flows down and it may ina…

You wrote: "Since we moved here (one year ago) my husband and I have had many problems at work" Often, if one does not work from home or equally have an office away from home; then one may have to look at the Feng Shui of both locations. If, you feel that ever since you moved in to this new home and feel that most of your problems at work is a result of this; then, if one were to DIY using Feng Shui, can start looking at the home (first). However, it is not as simple as "pinning" or placing the entire blame on just the placement of the current workstation. In fact, if one were to truly try to apply Feng Shui concepts; it has to be as shown or highlighted in YELLOW in th…

You wrote: I am new to fengshui but i like to seek some advice from you about new house. 1. Is it appropriate for a property to have a protruding wall directly outside the bedroom door? If not, what can be done? In my opinion, quite a lot of "issues" has it's origins in common sense then Feng Shui. And because it is common sense, some may not see the association and then proclaim it to be related to (or in the name) of Feng Shui. For example; why common sense? Here, one must use some imagination: How often we see someone running or dashing out of a door (be it a room or even a bedroom). And instead of running into an open h, the child could not stop in time or the floor…

Most homes in general fall between a hidden gem vs a rotten apple... To assess this; and in Feng Shui, a triage is required to find out the home's rating: Good, the bad, the average or the "ugly"...

Please see illustration showing two common practises or options: 1. Option 1: Many Geomancy Practitioners recommend this method i.e. the placement of a hulu as shown in the attached. 2. Option 2: Practical approach, today. If the kitchen/service yard has a casement window; the window is either fully closed or open-to the max at around 45 degrees or less. 3. Frankly, personally, I am not in favour of installing a roller blind as a partition. As often, it moves when windy and can eventually get dusty. And I would not want to have my face touch such blinds as in time, it will be covered by dirt and even bacterial or germs.

Attached is the planning of Villas, Hotel and Country Club to the North-East of this project. The planning takes into consideration: entry into the resort, parking spaces; individual buildings, site of clusters of villas etc... for a full functional Country Club facility.

From young all of us have an innate ability to use our instincts. Some may get it 100% right. Some may not. Some may get additional aid (e.g. Feng Shui) so that later, then can make an informed decision.

My home has the same spelling as other HOMES. So, please tell me WHY, I always have the WORST damned LUCK as compared to my neighbour next door. I am unable to get out of the vicious cycle of poverty loop! Worse still, every ANAL (sorry) I mean ANNUAL stars brings me further BAD LUCK!

Do remember that when one comes across such a description when buying a new or resale home: "Large uncovered drain behind a house" Be prepared to exercise CAUTION when buying such a home. CAUTION? Implies further investigations should be made or contacting a geomancer to review it.

Chinese belief that "spirits" move in a straight (line) path. Thus, because of this belief, it is better to have foot-paths or landscaped paths in a home that is winding...

In my opinion, this is worth considering if you DIY Feng Shui. Again, this concept is based on common sense as well as doing it step-by-step in an orderly fashion:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Customer_Engineer_Concept

It is never to late to approach Feng Shui using the three-step-approach:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Three-Step-Approach The saying goes: "Get it right the first time by having good fundamentals!"

A client followed the instructions to do a semi-circular arch for the main entrance of his factory in Jurong.

Hmm... the mother of all water features? I mean water position...

In many instances, even if we try to build our perfect dream-Feng Shui home; there are often compromises to be made. Often, for convenience, we have toilets that are located at no longer choice location in the home. Or that kitchen stove could be viewed from the main entrance door. Thus we can try to build a near-perfect Feng Shui friendly home. But not always 100 percent perfect!

Applying Feng Shui be it by a geomancer of D.I.Y. is the same as an orchestra conductor....

Only if one has done a Feng Shui Triage (investigations) can then determine whether the home is a unpolished gem or a sour grape....

The Eight House concept is "as what it is". It is nice-to face one's good direction. BUT if can't; than too bad... Either you face your good directions or you cannot. It is like ebony and ivory: BLACK or WHITE no in-betweens, here.

1. Very often, many clients would asked me where should they or rather; where should they NOT hang "sensitive" photos (husband & wife wedding photos) and family portaits? 2. Again, one should think about whether is it related to common sense or not? 3. For example, if one is living on the ground floor and close to the "ground". 4. In the attached photo; of course, I merely use an outdated Iphone 4 with low resolution; and yet, I am able to take a photo of a 2nd storey apartment room. And if one can see, there are some pictures / photos hanging on the wall. 5. Thus, if one is living close to the ground and often, many don't fully close their windows; In such a situatio…

In Interior Design, many Chinese prefer not to use circle or circular designs for just anything e.g. cabinet doors; feature walls and even false ceilings with "holes" in it... P.S. Luckliy, this design is in a public toilet (Depot Heights Shopping Complex)

Often, one has an odd wall or a focal point (space) but do not know how to decorate it? Well, Chinese painting(s) of flowers will brighten that wall; without having need to change real flowers on a daily basis nor have the headache of how to clean those articifical flowers or throw them away?

Hey! They are two different paintings... BUT what is your interpretation of each of the paintings? Mine are......

Here are some considerations. 1. Please refer to attached photo: 1.1. Marking "A" is the house on the left side. While Marking A1 is the fencing of house A. 1.2. Marking "B" is the house on the right side. While Marking B1 shows the house B having a concrete wall. 2. This ONE-WAY street has two lanes: One lane for vehicles turning left. And another lane for vehicles turning to the right. 3. Both houses avoided their main gate directly facing the straight path of the one-way street. 4. The red dotted line is the imaginary line if a vehicle could have loss control and veer into either homes. 5. Overall, house B did a great job by placing the concrete high wall. House A ai…
