The Chinese burial ritual, or Feng Shui, has been transformed into science over the six thousand years of its existence. Today it includes a number of rules and foundations. The theoretical basis is based on the energy that exists in everything. Energy flows are located in the earth, water, living and inanimate nature, in all objects surrounding a person. Together they affect our standard of living. Feng Shui furniture will rid the room of negative energy flows and make it comfortable. Arranging furniture according to the rules helps to establish harmony in the home and ensure well-being.
Furnishings in the hallway
The Chinese pay attention to all interior details. The entrance to an apartment, or the “mouth of the house,” has special significance according to Feng Shui philosophy. The financial well-being of the family depends on the correct organization of the doorway. A minimum number of objects are placed in the corridor, which will allow the chi energy to move freely. There should be no objects near the front door. You can place incense sticks in the right corner. The list of acceptable interior items includes:
- hooks for street clothes;
- umbrella stand;
- wardrobe or shelves (they are located in the corridor at the maximum distance from the entrance).
Furniture arrangement according to Feng Shui
When choosing an interior design, they are guided by their own inner voice. The location, color, size, design of parts and furniture should please every family member. Otherwise, it will not be possible to achieve harmony and comfort. Under no circumstances should you strictly follow the instructions outlined in a book on Chinese philosophy. First of all, you yourself should feel home comfort and peace. Attention is also paid to further maintaining cleanliness.
Feng Shui love zone in the room
To activate the zone of love and marriage, it is necessary to arrange the western direction of the room as correctly as possible. This is very important for those who are lonely or want to strengthen their relationships.
The main colors when arranging the love sector are pink and red, indicating the energy of Fire. This element evokes the Earth element, which has a beneficial effect on our relationships. Its main colors are yellow, terracotta and brown. Therefore, by adding such shades to the western side of the room, you can achieve a stable and long-lasting relationship.

To improve the atmosphere in the room, you need to use paired items when arranging it:
- scented candles;
- sofa cushions;
- lamps;
- images of mandarin ducks, doves or cranes;
- sculpture in the form of a pair of butterflies;
- chocolate candies.
In a room arranged according to Feng Shui, you can place a photo that shows a joyful couple. If there is no other half yet, then an image of another happy couple will do.
On a note! Experts who know a lot about the teachings of Feng Shui advise lonely hearts to write on red paper the character traits and qualities that they would like to see in their future soul mate.
Melodic music is an essential attribute for attracting love. Aromatic oils and plants - jasmine, geranium, cedar and ylang-ylang - also direct energy into love.
When it is not possible to arrange a love zone, it is filled with a mirror located on the west side
To prevent the love zone from becoming filled with negative energy, the following recommendations must be taken into account:
- Keep the western direction of the premises clean and tidy.
- As with the money zone, you need to avoid antiques, used and broken items.
- You cannot store photographs with your ex-passion or single relatives or acquaintances.
- Elements of Wood, Water and Metal (aquarium, fountain, wooden and metal products, furniture) cannot be placed in this zone.
- Eliminate contact between the love area and the toilet, bathroom or closet.
If the area does come into contact with one of the listed rooms, you need to keep the doors to the bathroom or toilet closed. In this case, talismans are not used.

When it is not possible to arrange a love zone, it is filled with a mirror located on the west side. But it should not display the front door, otherwise the favorable energy will leave the house.
In the living room
The qi energy should not encounter any obstacles along its path. The main task in this case is to think through the arrangement of furniture and individual interior details so that they do not block or block the way for energy flows.
Finding the right place for each item is not the hardest part. You should start working with the most important and large-sized interior items. Living room furniture usually includes a sofa and armchairs. It is required to correctly place even these most familiar interior details. The sofa should be placed with its back against the wall; it is important that it does not face the window. Otherwise, an obstacle will arise in the way of the flow of qi.
When organizing communication areas, you should pay attention to the recommendation to place the table in the center of the room. Chairs, armchairs and a sofa should be in a semicircle. This arrangement enhances the positive energy of the apartment and blocks negative flows. According to the philosophical ideas of Feng Shui, preference should be given to a sofa with legs, so energy can move freely around the room. Wardrobes and bedside tables are located further from the interior doors, along the load-bearing walls. If the cabinet has glass surfaces, they should not reflect doorways or stairs.

How to arrange furniture in a studio apartment
If a one-room apartment has one common room, not separated by walls, it is usually called a studio. The photo shows that in such a home it is important to initially decide on the purpose of each zone, make partitions, and then arrange the furniture:
- First you need to determine where the bed will be;
- You can use a bookcase or screen to protect the bed;
- the furniture body must be adjacent to the wall;
- the kitchen separated from the sleeping area can have a round table;
- the table should be placed near the window so that maximum light falls on it;
- if it is possible to place a sofa, it should be done so that the person sitting can see the front door.
The apartment should radiate the energy of warmth and comfort, not cloud thoughts, and create a great mood. By adhering to the laws of Feng Shui, you can quickly and correctly arrange the furniture in your home so that it is pleasant to be in.
In the office
For organizing an office, a room with a regular square or rectangular shape is better suited. It is better if a large amount of sunlight enters the room. If the apartment does not have a room of the desired shape, you can “level” it by using mirrors. To create a favorable working atmosphere and attract positive energy, it is not recommended to choose bright colors for wall decoration. Preference should be given to calm tones.
Brown or yellow would be a better color. The design can be black, gray or white, always monochromatic. Feng Shui experts advise avoiding the purple, green and blue palette.
According to the laws of Chinese philosophy, the northern location of the office promotes favorable and productive work. The desktop should be oriented to the northwest or east. A person should be able to approach it from any direction. When sitting at the table, the owner should not have his back turned to the window or door. If the size of the room does not allow you to avoid this arrangement, you should resort to tricks. Place a turtle figurine on the windowsill. She will protect the rear while working. Thick curtains can also reduce the negative impact.
Feng Shui cardinal directions in the room
When arranging a Feng Shui zone in a room, it is very important to know which side of the world it belongs to. To clarify this issue, you first need to take a compass and determine where the north side of the room is.
However, as a result of the complex design of an apartment or private building (metal reinforcement or other building materials), compass needles do not always show accurate results. Therefore, you can use special maps that schematically explain the cardinal directions - north, south, west and east, as well as their intermediate directions.

Next you will need to determine the center of the apartment. To do this, take a housing plan and find the center at the intersection of the diagonals. If the apartment does not have the shape of a regular rectangle, you need to complete it yourself and do the same manipulations.
Then the housing plan is divided into 9 regular rectangles, also dividing the opposite sides into 3 equal parts and drawing straight lines through the points.
The last step is to check the floor plan and the special map. It is necessary to determine the angle of rotation of the apartment, which will indicate the correct direction of the room, corresponding to the parts of the world.

This will help determine the zone of love, wealth and other desirable things. The Bagua grid is designed to strictly distribute 9 vital categories. It is applied to the marked housing plan in order to understand how to properly arrange it according to Feng Shui. According to the Bagua grid, each cardinal direction is responsible for one category:
- North (Water) is responsible for career.
- Northeast (Earth) – for knowledge.
- East (Tree) – for the family.
- Southeast (Wood) – for wealth.
- South (Fire) – for glory.
- Southwest (Earth) – for love.
- West (Metal) – for creativity.
- North-West (Gold, Silver) – for assistants.
Guided by a compass, a special map and the Bagua grid, you can determine the north and other cardinal directions where the entrance to the room should be, arranging it according to Feng Shui.

Organizing space in the bedroom
The success of your holiday depends on how correct the arrangement of furniture is according to Feng Shui. Qi flows should move freely from one point to another. According to the Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui, furniture in the bedroom should be placed strictly around the perimeter and outline the boundaries of the room. It is recommended to place sleeping areas and wardrobes along the walls. It is better to avoid the presence of niches that become places where negative energy accumulates. It is recommended to keep the amount of furniture in the interior of a room to a minimum.
Organizing space in the bedroom
The central place is occupied by the bed. It should be with the head facing the wall, next to the doorway. When lying down, a person should be able to see the door to the bedroom, but not look directly at it.
Furniture with streamlined, rounded edges will help create a warm, comfortable atmosphere in the room. When purchasing, you should avoid sharp interior parts.
If there are mirror surfaces in the bedroom, they should not be located opposite the sleeping person, otherwise he will be vulnerable. Experts recommend not placing more than two mirrors in a room, and also avoiding cabinets with glass walls.
Feng Shui wealth zone in the room
Eastern wisdom says that favorable energy - qi - should circulate freely in the room. Therefore, it is recommended to walk around the entire perimeter of the room and if there are no closets, chairs, tables or other objects along the way, then there is a positive aura in it. Otherwise, you will have to remove unnecessary items and free up space in the room in order to attract success.

After all the furniture and objects are in place, you need to determine the southeast zone in your room. The following items should not be in this area:
- Broken appliances and broken items. Their presence in the wealth zone nullifies any human undertakings, since, according to Feng Shui, they emit negative energy and do not allow qi to function.
- Antiques and second-hand items. They not only bring “poverty” into the house, but also preserve the energy of the former owners. Having persistent negative energy, such objects disrupt the harmony in the apartment.
- Bin. This is a kind of abyss that will absorb all positive energy along with luck and wealth. The location of a trash can in the money area indicates that the owner does not need them. In this regard, they will simply leave.
- Fireplace. This interior element is directly related to wood. Placing a fireplace in a room to attract money is dangerous, because it will “burn” new opportunities and prospects.
- Withered or dry plants, cactus. “Dead” plants bring bad energy, which takes away all the wealth.
- Fridge. There are different opinions about its placement, but most agree that it “freezes” all our plans. If it is not possible to remove it, you need to make sure that it does not freeze and is clean.
To attract wealth and success, it is important to constantly maintain order in the southeastern area of the room
To properly arrange a room according to Feng Shui to attract money, you need to place:
- objects made of metals and precious stones;
- an aquarium where goldfish will swim;
- a silver vessel filled with water;
- small indoor fountain;
- tubular bells;
- potted indoor plants, especially the money tree.
To attract wealth and success, it is important to constantly maintain order in the southeastern area of the room. It is necessary to regularly ventilate the room and light it. And if the wealth zone comes into contact with the toilet or bathroom, you need to “neutralize” it. For this purpose, tubular bells or figurines of guardian deities will help, which will cleanse the qi from all negativity.

In the nursery
The children's room is a particularly important room in the apartment. The comprehensive spiritual and physical development of a young person and his health will depend on the right environment. Furniture installed according to the rules of Feng Shui will help develop the child’s creative and mental potential and instill responsibility.
The organization of the sleeping area is of paramount importance. It should be located as far as possible from the doorway and the headboard should be facing the wall. When choosing, you should avoid a bunk or combined bed. The bed should not have lower drawers, which will become an obstacle to the flow of qi energy and a place for dust accumulation. It is recommended to zone the children's room using shelves with toys or cabinets. It is best to separate the baby's resting place from the place of study. Such separation contributes to a calm and complete rest.
You should choose furniture according to the age of the child. It should not be too bulky and dark. Shelves are not placed overhead, and the space in the center of the room should be free.
We
Yes, yes, and the energy field of our home, the health and well-being of its inhabitants, that is, our loved ones, largely depends on you and me. If you've had a hard day, mentally shake off all your worries on the way home.
Don't bring sad thoughts and discontent with you home. After all, your relatives are waiting for you there, those to whom we must give only the best.
To maintain positive energy in the house, you need to cleanse yourself of negativity, mentally letting go of grievances to others and praying. Then your inner harmony will spread throughout the house, and the house, in turn, will recharge you with strength and positivity.
In the kitchen
The importance of a properly organized kitchen interior is no less important than other rooms in the house. This room is not an easy space to organize. Two opposing elements meet in the kitchen - fire and water. Experts in Feng Shui philosophy advise separating them with neutral objects. The following is suitable as a separator between the sink and the stove:
- compact cabinet;
- fashionable shelves.
The refrigerator should be located next to the sink. The stove should not stand close to the wall; in general, it is advisable to choose the south-east side for its installation.
It is good for the chairs to be arranged in a semicircle. Having taken a seat at the table, a person should not have his back to the doorway. In interior design, it is better to refrain from using mirror surfaces; storage shelves should not be hung above a person’s head.
Expert opinion
Melnik Dmitry
feng shui master
One of the main rules in creating an interior is functionality. The room should contain only necessary items that a person uses at least twice a week. Items not related to cooking or storing food should be removed from the kitchen.
Recommendations for choosing furniture elements
From the point of view of this ancient teaching, the correct selection and arrangement of furniture elements have a positive effect on the nervous system of all residents of the house. An important component of furniture is the color scheme. Each side of the world has its own spectrum. For example, if the kitchen is located in the southern part of the house, then its element is Fire. In this case, when selecting furniture, it is advisable to abandon the colors of Water - blue, light blue, and also black.
If the room is located in the south-eastern or eastern part of the home, then it is not recommended to use metallic colors in furniture and decoration. The main thing is that there is no conflict of opposing elements in the situation.
