How to Design Your Home With Feng Shui
To design your home to achieve a perfectly balanced state using feng shui requires a feng shui practitioner. Balancing your home to generate positive chi (or energy) that brings health, luck and prosperity requires taking into account your birthday, along with the birthdays of family members. What is a lucky direction for the front door to face varies on your birth. It changes the orientation of the rooms. It affects everything. However, there are a few generalities you can easily incorporate into your design. For houses already built, there are a few design options you can try to improve your home's feng shui.

Avoid straight paths in designing your house. Add curves to your front walk. The path from the front door should not have a visible straight line path to the back door. Stairs should have a bend or curve and should not come down straight at the front door. With straight paths, good chi will move too quickly out of the house.

Add a water feature to your back yard, such as a pond with a small waterfall. Keep goldfish or carp in the pond. Waterfalls are especially fortunate in the back left corner of your yard. Do not keep fish in the bedroom, bathroom or kitchen.

Hang a flat, octagonal mirror (a bagua mirror) over the entrance. This protects your home from negative chi. And for luck and prosperity, tie three Chinese coins with a red ribbon and hang them from your doorknob, on the inside.

Choose a house lot that does not have another street forming a T with your house. Having a road lead directly into to your house generates bad chi.

Add flowers and lights along your front walkway. For flowers, red is best. Plant them in clumps of threes. During the day, the flowers lead good fortune to your house while the lighted path will do the same at night.
