Dear cecil,
Is having white colored furniture bad. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
We can look at it from two angles:
1. As you are aware, majority of the Chinese and overseas Chinese equate white with death.
Here there are two camps:
a. Those that are superstitious and have always believed that white furniture is not auspicious.
b. The modern and trendy especially the young do not have this taboo.
2. With the above in mind, it is hard to answer you based on beliefs.
3. Under Feng Shui, there is also no taboo associated with colour white as inauspicious.
Rather, white is equated with the Metal element. Therefore, if we are using the Five Elements relationship, we can check our personal suitability with white.
4. Another factor is the 33.3 percent rule. The furniture usually does not take up more than 33.3 percent of the living room and really has no impact on the home.
On a commonsense approach, many married couples with children always avoid white furniture. It is understandable because, their newborns or the young could easily dirty the furniture.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
