LAYOUT AND FENG SHUI TABOOS IN RESIDENTIAL DESIGN
Feng shui, an ancient art and science from China, focuses on creating balance and harmony between people and their surroundings. In home design and layout, applying feng shui principles not only helps optimize space but also positively affects health, wealth and harmony in life. This article will analyze in detail the layout and important feng shui taboos in housing, helping you build a balanced and positive living space.
1. House layout according to feng shui
1.1.
Direction of house and main door
- House direction:
House direction is considered an important factor in feng shui, affecting the reception of energy and prosperity of the homeowner. According to feng shui principles, each direction is related to the five elements and has different impacts on health, wealth, and other aspects of life. Choosing the house direction based on the homeowner's year of birth and five elements helps optimize positive energy (chi) and limit negative energy.
- Main door:
The main door is the place that receives energy into the house, so placing the main door in a reasonable position is very important. The main door should not face a large window or the back door to avoid energy loss. Furthermore, the main door should be kept clean and unobstructed by furniture or items, as this can prevent positive energy from entering the house.
1.2. Arrangement of rooms
- Living room:
The living room is the most important space of the house, so the living room layout will greatly affect the prosperity of the house. The worst thing about living rooms is that they are not square. Because it is the place where energy gathers in the house, the living room needs to be square without sharp corners. In addition, corridors or internal roads of the house cannot be arranged through the living room. If the room is inherently not square, place a potted plant at a sharp corner so that the air does not get stagnant and compressed in one place.
In modern houses, there is often a basement. For home feng shui, the basement is a damp place with no sunlight and no air circulation. Therefore, placing a living room here will affect the health and fortune of the homeowner.
Stairs should also not be located in the living room, especially spiral stairs. This type, when seen through like a cork, will cause insecurity for the homeowner and cause loss of air flow in the house.
In addition, if there are stairs in the living room, you must avoid leaving the foot of the stairs facing the living room door. Because the stairs are a "skylight" and an intersection between floors, if arranged opposite the living room door, the airflow from the door will move strongly along the stairs without converging in the living room.
The living room is often the central area of the house and should be arranged to receive positive energy. Place the living room near the main door to make the most of the energy. However, avoid placing your living room in direct sunlight for long periods of time, as this can cause stress and discomfort.
- Bedroom:
Sleep accounts for 1/3 of human life. If you want to have a good night's sleep, one of the influencing factors is having a suitable sleeping place. According to feng shui, the location of the bedroom and bed also greatly affects sleep and thereby affects the health of the homeowner. If you are in a good position, you will sleep well. Otherwise, if you sleep soundly, you will often have nightmares that affect your health.
The first is the location of the bedroom in the overall house. According to experience, the Northwest azimuth is usually the appropriate place to place the homeowner's bedroom. With this position, the owner will be healthy, wise and decisive.
Just like the living room, the bedroom should not be placed in the basement because the negative energy is heavy and the air does not circulate, so sleeping there will be harmful to your health.
After choosing a good position to place the bedroom, the issue of how to place the bed is the second important point in bedroom design. According to the Feng Shui book for home buyers, it is forbidden for the bed to lie directly in line with the walkway. If the head of the bed is facing the bedroom door, the bad energy will go straight to the sleeper's head, affecting his health.
Bedrooms should be designed to provide optimal relaxation and rest. Avoid placing the bedroom facing the main door or bathroom door to avoid being affected by negative energy. The head of the bed should be against a solid wall, not directly under the beam to avoid feeling compressed and affecting sleep.
On the other hand, it should not be placed close to the wall towards the door because the activities of people outside can affect the person sleeping inside or dream, causing nervous breakdown.
The most modern houses are high-rise buildings that often have large concrete beams. If the bedroom ceiling has horizontal beams, you should not put the bed under the beam because when you lie down and look up at the ceiling, you will see horizontal beams, which will create a feeling of constant pressure. Feng shui calls this situation "fierce". Horizontal beams located above any position of the bed are not good. If you lie on the head of the bed, it will cause the person sleeping in that bed to have headaches.
- Working room:
The office needs to be arranged in a quiet location to optimize concentration and work efficiency. Avoid placing your office near large windows or main doors to avoid energy dispersion. The desk should be placed in a position that can observe the entire office space, creating favorable conditions for handling work and making decisions.
1.3. Kitchen and bathroom area
1.3.1 Kitchen:
In rural Vietnam, the kitchen is often separate from the main house and is a place to store rice, agricultural tools... and is overlooked. However, in feng shui, the kitchen plays a very important role. People often use the kitchen as an organic tool in the house to repel murderers.
This is used very thoroughly by the Bat Trach Feng Shui sect. This sect often advises placing the stove in what is considered the worst location; in the earth to prevent bad luck in the manner of "treating poison with poison".
According to that point of view, the most taboo kitchen is placed in the Northwest direction. In the Compass, the Northwest direction belongs to the hexagram Qian, which is "Can vi thien"; That is, this direction has fire at the gate of heaven. If you place the stove in this direction again, you will violate the so-called "Cremation of the Heavenly Gate"; will bring bad luck into the house, making it easy for the homeowner to lose their job, money, and power.
In arranging the kitchen, choosing the direction for the kitchen is of utmost importance. This often requires relying on the Compass and the Bat Trach table according to age to check. Directions with "Extreme Fate", "Five Demons", "Six Kills", "Disaster" are not used.
The kitchen is a place associated with the family's health and fortune. The stove should be placed near a window for good light and ventilation. Avoid placing the kitchen opposite the main door or near the bathroom, as this can affect the family's health and fortune. Make sure the kitchen is always clean and organized to maintain positive energy.
Note:
In addition, in relation to other parts of the house; Kitchen arrangement in home feng shui also has other taboos:
For example, a house facing South but the kitchen facing North is very taboo. This applies to both separate kitchens and kitchens in the house. If the kitchen is inside the house, the kitchen door must not face the opposite direction of the main door.
In terms of hygiene and safety, the kitchen is the place where food and drinks are cooked; So it needs to be kept clean and should not be placed near the toilet to avoid bacteria. In terms of housing feng shui; The kitchen represents fire and the bathroom, bathing and washing represents water.
Placing water and fire opposite will cause conflict. Also in this taboo of conflict; Avoid placing the stove mouth opposite the faucet, refrigerator, or washing machine.
The sun's rays carry many harmful ultraviolet rays; If the kitchen has a window opening to the west; If the sun shines at this time, you will have food and drink; may be harmful to health.
- Bathroom:
The bathroom should not be placed in the center of the house, as this can reduce positive energy. Avoid placing the bathroom near main areas such as the living room and bedroom so as not to affect the health and comfort of family members.
2. Feng shui taboos in housing
2.1. Main door and windows
- Main door opposite the window:
Placing the main door opposite a large window or the main door of another house can cause positive energy to be lost. Measures such as curtains or space partitions should be used to regulate the flow of energy into the house.
- Main door is obstructed:
Placing items such as plants and furniture in front of the main door can block the flow of energy into the house, leading to stagnation and difficulty in life. Make sure the main door is always clear and unobstructed by items.
2.2. Furniture arrangement
- Mirror facing the bed:
Placing a mirror opposite the bed can cause anxiety and disrupt sleep, as it reflects the image of the person lying in bed. Mirrors should be placed in other positions so as not to affect rest.
- Beams above the bed:
Beds located under rafters can create pressure and affect health. Make sure the bed is placed in a position without rafters to create a feeling of security and relaxation.
2.3. Colors and lights
- Color is too dark:
Using colors that are too dark or gloomy in the bedroom and living room can reduce positive energy and create a feeling of stagnation. You should choose bright and gentle colors to create a fresh and comfortable feeling.
- Lighting is too strong:
Placing bright lights directly above your bed or desk can cause stress and discomfort. You should use soft lighting and adjust the brightness to suit each area.
2.4. Location of kitchen and bathroom
- Kitchen near bathroom:
Placing the kitchen near the bathroom or opposite the bathroom can affect health and fortune. The kitchen and bathroom should be located in different locations to maintain energy balance.
- Kitchen opposite the main door:
The kitchen facing the main door can cause loss of financial energy and affect prosperity. The kitchen should be arranged in a reasonable position to ensure stability and prosperity.
