Posted June 3, 201015 yr Hello, I am very new to this site. Have read interesting posts here. I just bought a new HDB flat and will move in Sept (hopefully before the chinese 7th month). I have attached the floor plan here. As you can see, the toilet wall is at the living/dining area. Is this OK? I intended to put the family photos on the wall and the dining table beside the wall. Reading some FS basics, I think this is a bad idea right? Where then can I place the dining table. Thanks for your help.

For example; this applies to both Chinese altars of various gods and even some Catholics who have a small "symbolic" altar.3. Otherwise, any other concerns has more to do with personal feelings or personal sentiments: in your case a deep concern of placing family photos say on wall mounts.4. Given the layout plan that you had provided; in-fact, there are many who had placed their dining table next to the toilet wall or sharing the wall - Quote as no other "better" choice. 5. Thus, for practical reasons especially the layout ofyour apartment; the placement ofa dining table isvery common and should not serve as a "shock" or a no-no. 6.Here;if you oryour family member(s) feel very deeply about not having the dining table nor photos there then,really, do findsomewhere else to place them. Otherwise; such placements is not like the "end of the world kind of thing" - commonoccurence.
