Cecil,
What is your opinion on open living. I've noticed alot of the modern houses have them.
If you don't know what it is, it's maybe the kitchen, dining and living area combined without walls.
The kitchen could be seperated from the dining or lounge from using maybe a breakfast table, the lounge and dining can be seperated by the sofa's or whatever you please.
It's quite effective. But feng shui wise, is it too much yang?

Dear Daniel,
In open living, ideally, (under Feng Shui conditions) there is still some `partitioning'.
It may not be a full wall. It can be something like an eating or storage counter separating the cooking area from the living room.
In the living room, the act of placing furniture to segregate the living room from other locations is as effective as using walls.
Therefore, there is really no issue here.
For an `L' shaped room even if it is an open space can effectively be segregated into two whole rectangles. This is a better FS configuration that leaving the house as an `L' shaped. (This is based on Shapes and Form Feng Shui.)
Warmest Regards,
Cecil Lee
