A home is where we spend most of our time, where we seek shelter. Therefore, the feng shui of the house is very important to the wealth of the homeowner. According to ancient traditions, when decorating homes, people often mention the rule of “2 don’ts, 3 dos” to attract fortune.
The 2 don’ts are:
No empty flower vases
According to our ancestors, when entering a house, one should avoid seeing empty vases or flower pots, which means no flower arrangements but displaying empty vases. Empty vases should be stored discreetly in a closed cabinet and placed upside down. Many people like to place flower vases right at the entrance or visible places for convenience. But that is not feng shui-friendly.
Or fake flower vases without fresh flowers are also not good for the feng shui of the house. According to feng shui, when entering a house and seeing empty vases or dried, fake flowers, there is a risk of family conflicts and breakups. According to the belief of our ancestors, an empty vase signifies being alone in an empty house, while fake flowers symbolize bad luck entering the house. Therefore, empty vases or fake flowers are not good symbols.
Therefore, when arranging flowers, it is advised to arrange fresh flowers and place them in the living room, but not directly facing the entrance. After use, the vases should be cleaned and stored discreetly.
Avoid balconies facing the main entrance
Balconies are meant to create additional highlights and spaces for sunlight and wind reception. However, if a balcony directly faces the main entrance, it is similar to the situation of opposite doors, which can cause financial loss, money entering through the front door and exiting through the back door. Consequently, wealth will be lost. Therefore, balconies should not directly face the main entrance. Also, balconies should not be cluttered with items.
The 3 dos inside the house are:
Hanging landscape paintings or calligraphy
In the belief of our ancestors, feng shui and calligraphy paintings create a sense of tranquility, harmony, and intellect. A house with these paintings reflects the intelligence and knowledge, the depth of the people living in it. When entering the house and seeing a good feng shui or calligraphy painting, one would feel that the family values literacy and education. Knowledge is a source of success.
In the old belief, water and ink represent wealth. Therefore, hanging feng shui and calligraphy paintings in the house symbolizes good fortune. Therefore, homeowners can hang them in a place that can be seen first when entering the house, to attract more wealth.
Having festival decorations at the entrance
The entrance is where wealth enters and reflects the face of the homeowner. If there are joyful festival decorations such as red blessings, strings of lucky coins, red items, it will bring a sense of luck and positive energy. Our ancestors believed that a festive atmosphere also has a positive effect on feng shui. When people are happier, good luck naturally comes. The vibrant red color makes people more energetic and gives a feeling of success.
Having green plants in front of the house
Seeing plants when entering a house gives a feeling of life. If the plants are blooming, emitting fragrance, it is even better for feng shui, as it represents abundant and flourishing soil. Green plants symbolize vitality. If the house looks barren and dry, there will be no sense of tranquility and vitality. On the other hand, a house with vibrant and beautiful plants will give people the energy of life, improving their mood.
Green plants also help filter dust and bad air, emitting positive energy for the family, thus attracting lucky fortune.
