Avoid placing trash cans in the living room
In feng shui, the living room is considered the area that attracts the wealth of the whole family. Therefore, placing a trash can here can easily affect wealth and career. Besides, you should not place a trash can next to the sofa or the display cabinet for cups and saucers because it is related to eating and resting.
Since it is a place to store garbage, it is difficult to avoid the unpleasant smell of the trash can. If not handled carefully, it can easily spread bacteria to humans.
Placing trash cans at the entrance: Blocking the Wealth Gate
The entrance is an important position of any house. It is not only the entrance and exit of the house, but also the place where the airflow from the outside is received. Moreover, the entrance of the house is also the first impression that the homeowner leaves when welcoming guests.
Whether it’s a townhouse, villa, or apartment, placing a trash can in front of the entrance, the corridor leading to the house, or the main gate in an apartment is not advisable. No one wants to see a trash can as soon as they open the door, and no guest wants to see a trash can as the first thing when visiting your home.
Especially for trash cans that have not been cleaned properly, they often have dirty garbage and waste water flowing out. This has a serious impact on the family’s fortune. It not only gives everyone an uncomfortable feeling, but also affects the health of the family members. When you open the door for fresh air to enter the house, the new airflow will purify the old air in the house. But if the trash can is placed in front of the entrance, it will bring the stench with it. This not only pushes the fresh air away, but also brings foul air into the house.
In addition, when guests come to visit, they will feel disrespected or unwelcome in this situation. If a valuable guest comes to visit your home and smells the odor from the trash can as soon as they open the door, it’s like you are driving away the good luck from your home.
Placing trash cans in the bedroom: Sucking away all the good luck
The bedroom is a place for rest and the most private space for us. The bedroom is where very personal activities take place, such as reading before bed, listening to music, chatting, etc. All of these activities require a comfortable, quiet, and clean environment. But if you place a trash can in the bedroom, it will ruin this atmosphere.
Whether it’s dry trash or wet trash, placing a trash can in the bedroom can leave an unpleasant odor, such as leftover food, used tissues, expired cosmetics, etc. These odors will accumulate and spread throughout the bedroom, not only affecting the mood but also gradually affecting the health of the people in the room. Because bacteria and insects can thrive in the trash can, these bacteria are just waiting for an opportunity to spread in the bedroom, disrupting the cleanliness and tranquility that the room needs.
Many people have the mentality of placing a small trash can in the bedroom for convenience, avoiding the hassle of having to go to the trash can in the kitchen or living room every time they throw away the trash. In fact, many families do place small trash cans in the bedroom. If it is inevitable to place a trash can in the bedroom, you should choose a trash can with a lid, which can limit odors and the spread of bacteria, as well as limit the throwing of wet garbage. Ideally, you should clean the trash daily and regularly disinfect and clean the trash can.
Placing trash cans on the balcony: Letting all the luck flow away
In reality, the balcony is the “ideal” place for many families to place trash cans. However, many people hang clothes on the balcony. If you place the trash can below and hang clothes on top, it can easily cause the clothes to be contaminated with a foul smell. Bacteria in the trash can can contaminate the clothes, and they can even cause irritation and allergies to the skin. This is especially important for people with skin problems or sensitive skin.
Moreover, a more important reason is that the balcony is both the entrance and the good exhaust vent of the house. If you place the trash can here, the wind can easily blow the foul smell from the trash can into the house, making the air inside the house stuffy and polluted. Instead, many people plant grass and flowers on the balcony to take advantage of the air purification ability of plants, helping to bring more fresh air into the house.
Therefore, trash cans inside the house are usually placed in the living room or kitchen in suitable positions. Especially in 2024, those who violate the Thai Tue should pay attention to the placement of trash cans in the house. For example, the Northwest and Southeast directions in 2024 are the two directions that are affected by the Thai Tue. In these positions, heavy, broken, or dirty trash should not be placed as it will affect the family’s fortune.
Where should trash cans be placed for good feng shui?
According to feng shui, the best positions for placing trash cans will be Southeast (slightly towards the East), Northwest (slightly towards the West), Northeast (slightly towards the North), and Southeast (slightly towards South).
Placing trash cans in these 4 positions will not have any negative impact on the homeowners and all members of the family, nor will it violate the directions representing the celestial branches.
