Feng Shui Tips & Guidelines

This is one of the many considerations under Can or Cannot Buy this home or that home?

Question: Master, may I do a quick check? Can son's bed be pushed back all the way to the wall where the window is? Reply: More to do with common sense then Feng Shui: 1. Installed grille? If not child can climb onto the window. 2. If windows open; strong winds and even some rain may come in. 3. If cigarette butt from top floor. If window always shut; no issue. Thus this has more to do with cow sense then Feng Shui.

So……………..THINK!

Can we use vertical bar window grilles? This has more to do with common sense then Feng Shui. For example, if one's grilles are casement windows; it does not matter that much if the window grille bars are horizontal or vertical. However, if the one has sliding windows; then it makes more sense if the window grille bars are horizontal. Why? Pure common sense. In order to open or close sliding windows, the most efficent grilles are those that are horizontal bars. This allows for swift motion to slide the windows unobstructed with horizontal grilles. But if vertical grilles were to be installed, one may have to frequently remove the hands and place it into one or more vertic…

Case Study: Do you know that even if a geomancer says that the site is excellent, all sites are still govern by the concept of the Bell Curve 1. Remember, even if a geomancer says that this is a good development. However, a good unit also depends on where it is within the development: 2. Is your potential unit under the Good, the Bad or the Ugly? 3. Often if one is lucky, even if the unit is not so fantastic superficially. Some units are like an unpolished gem.

Without Prejudice: The Lanai at Hillview Avenue and termite infestation. It just T.O.P. Not too long ago in 2015. (A mere three year old development). In my opinion, as this development is at the foot of Hillview Avenue; Most likely with poor drainage has led to termite infestations especially at the lower block(s). Thus unfortunately, such a situation would affect the resale vale. Unless the new potential buyers are unsuspecting of it. The suspect has to do with the drainage or water retention of this development that is on the foot of the Hillview avenue hill:- Once termites appear, it is much harder to repel especially if the design …

Case Study: The table leg is a X shape, is that ok? 1. Feng Shui does not micro manage this. 2. It has more to do with common sense = centre-of-gravity and safety. Such that if a toddler were to stand on the corner of the table, will it topple or not. 3. However, another area is about SYMBOLISM (technically this is a standalone concern but some link this with Feng Shui). As we all know an "X" is not exactly a popular symbol to many people. What more to some, a dining table is considered an important piece of furniture in the home!. 3.1 If you have busy bodies who tell you that it is bad luck to have this type of table. 3.2 The owner may start to…

When we discuss fire element, usually, lighting is not taken into consideration in this caution note! Although Red is considered an auspicious colour, the following need to be taken into consideration:- If one is not sure, or had not properly consulted a Feng Shui practitioner, it is best not to use fire (red, pink or purple) liberally because: 1.

Fire element is also a destroyer or the metal element especially if it is used as a cure. Besides, this, there are more considerations with regards to fir…

These are further considerations: 1. As this layout plan has an "unusual" pistol like grip (main entrance narrow corridor) and other quirks like a protuding balcony and some missing corner to the left side of the balcony; 1.1. Thus based on the ART of determining the center of this layout; one must take note that in such a situation; particularly the "pistol grip"; it is not practical to apply what I had mentioned; the idea of matching missing corners with protusions. 1.2. In many purely rectangular and squarish layout plans without unusual protusions like the above pistol grip; using eye-ball; often I would try to visualise to make sure that the missing corners is nearl…
