3 Feng Shui Elements for a Lucky Homeowner

Gates and Front Doors

Gates and front doors are the focal point of air conditioning for a house, so their design requires meticulousness and careful calculation. According to the classical feng shui principles of Vietnam, the most suitable direction for the door is usually the south or southeast to welcome cool breeze and fresh air. Particularly, the east direction symbolizes the “gas energy”, bringing luck, health, and prosperity to residents.

Avoid doors facing west, where the glaring sun and sunset can create a gloomy feeling.

Avoid placing obstacles such as large trees or electric poles in front of the door to ensure smooth airflow. Also, avoid the “cross-flying negative energy” when the front door is directly opposite to a hallway, as it may bring bad luck to the house.

Bedrooms

Bedrooms play a central role in personal life, where positive energy needs to be nurtured for rest and recovery. The arrangement of the bed should be suitable for the age and good direction according to the feng shui of the homeowner, while avoiding placing the bed near electronic devices, which significantly improves the quality of sleep.

Pay attention not to place sharp, heavy, or metallic objects in the bedroom to keep the space refreshing and peaceful. Decoration should maintain simplicity and minimalism. Avoid placing the bed under house beams or opposite the bathroom door. There should be no mirrors directly reflecting onto the bed, and avoid placing the bed in a position where the feet are straight toward the door.

Stairs and Skylights

Stairs and skylights both play an important role in regulating the vertical airflow of a house. Skylights should be designed to allow easy airflow, keeping the space ventilated and bright, while not being too narrow. Square shapes are preferred to optimize the air circulation.

Considering the lighting in the house is also crucial to reinforce positive yang energy. Natural light should be prioritized to keep the house full of vitality. However, avoid using overly bright sources of light, as they can generate excessive yang energy, which may not bring benefits to the living space.

These feng shui principles aim to build a balanced, convenient, and healthy living environment for the whole family. However, feng shui is still subjective and depends on each individual. Therefore, to achieve optimal results, seeking advice from a feng shui expert is a wise choice before starting the design of one’s own home.
