Placement & Usage Tips
Position your bed so you can see the bedroom door from the bed without being directly in line with it. Keep the area under your bed clear for energy circulation. Place your desk in the commanding position of your office. Ensure the front entrance is well-lit and unobstructed to welcome positive chi.
💡 Pro Tip
The most impactful Feng Shui adjustment is also the simplest: declutter. In Feng Shui philosophy, every unused, broken, or unloved object in your home creates stagnant energy that affects your well-being. Before making any other changes, thoroughly clear out items that no longer serve you. This single action often creates more positive change than any amount of furniture rearrangement or decorative adjustment.
