i believe in walking in the freely and do not knock my shin against the coffee table edge becos it has to be in the way for fengshui reasons

ditzy SG

I need a geomancer to tell me about fengshui, not some young punk of an interior designer. Laughing

interior design.

some interior designers subscribe to the feng shui principles.. but on the whole, i have found that feng shui is more a matter of the feng shui's practitioners ideas rather than a set dogma or principle. If you ask ten different feng shui people, you will get ten diff answers.

I am an architect by profession, and a lot of what feng shui is, is taking what we learn about designing for the environment and adding a supposed "spiritual" dimension to it like if you do this or put the door here or do something else, it will bring you good luck... hmmm

basically they have the same aim, to make the place look good and make u feel good or serene, but u wun see most interior designers intentionally place 9 dragons statue facing northwest..

breytonhartge SG

lets get this straight, interior designers are concerned with aesthetics, what looks good, the feel, the ambience etc...

all the fengshui people are concerned with are getting the right "spiritual" feel to the place, they have no clue about design what so ever... Evil or Very Mad all the fengshui deals with is superstition

these two professions are totally unrelated. One is a professional, with qualifications, they other could well be a quack with nothing to back up his claims.

I studied Feng Shui personally. What actually important is the flow motion of chi.

Talking about building: First is outside of the building. If it is no good, forget about everything. Cause - In feng shui, they say the chi is no good. You can tell by your own feeling if you are a human.

For Interior design, mostly concern the design of the room and placement of furnitures. As mention is the flow mothion of Chi. (keep it simple, convenient for you and you won't trip when walking. sleep peacefully that kind of things).

Other things will be placing of feng shui items, you name it - they have it. Most importantly, peace of mind when you step into the place.

Little can be done for houses here, unless you live in a private house.

Note: I am no a practiser.
