While many of us have heard the term Feng Shui before, many people have only a vague understanding of it. Essentially, the Feng Shui philosophy boils down to designing your living space in such a way as to improve your quality of life.

Developed thousands of years ago in China, Feng Shui is concerned with the flow of energy, or chi, within a space. According to the principles of this ancient art form, our homes provide a mirror to our lives and as such the flow of our living spaces can have a significant impact on our overall happiness. In a more practical sense, by applying this concept of energy flow you can enhance the feel of an interior space.

Decorating tips used in Feng Shui differ slightly from traditional decorating. The first thing you will need is a Bagua Map. This chart symbolically divides the house into nine areas, with each area boasting its own life significance (e.g. wealth, relationships, health). Knowing the Bagua is crucial to successful Feng Shui decorating, as it guides your choice of colours, artwork, furniture and more.
