Dear Anon,

Fu Lu Shou figurines are not traditionally part of Feng Shui, but their popularity has led to frequent recommendations for their placement in homes.

1. They are typically displayed on one side of a cabinet, facing into the living room.
2. Avoid placing them where they face a toilet.
3. They should not be on the same wall as a toilet.
4. Do not place them in bedrooms.
5. Avoid positioning them in the kitchen.
6. These guidelines are rooted in the belief that Fu Lu Shou represent deities and should be treated with respect.
7. Suitable locations include the living room, such as overlooking a window or facing the sofa.
8. If you have an altar, keep the figurines separate—either a short distance away or on a raised platform to maintain distinction.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Fu Lu Shou figurines are often seen as decorations, but their real importance comes from how respectfully and thoughtfully they are placed in the home. This is more about following good customs and respecting tradition than about religious rituals.

It is smart to think carefully before buying Feng Shui items. Some people who call themselves “Feng Shui Masters” may just be selling things for profit, not offering real advice. Before you buy anything, consider if you truly need it or if you are being persuaded to buy something you do not need.

Real Feng Shui is about creating harmony, setting intentions, and arranging your space thoughtfully. You do not need expensive decorations or special figurines. The respect and thought you put into each item matters most. Asking yourself questions before buying helps make sure your choices are meaningful, not just made for shopping.
