The Feng Shui philosophy and practice has Chinese origins.

The bone of Feng Shui is “chi”–the cosmic energy that affects everything and forces life. Chi is present in every little thing around us. And if you know how to make use of it, you will make your living space much better.

One of the ways to control chi is applying Feng Shui design for home.

In recent years, with Chinese culture and practices becoming extensively popular in the West, many people construct and design their houses according to Feng Shui.

If you are interested in Feng Shui design for you house, consider some basic constructive points before you go ahead with Feng Shui modern home plans.

• First you must carefully study the natural features of the area where you want to build. It is important that your house chi and the chi of the surrounding area are in balance and harmony.

• You need to select the best position for your house with the help of the Feng Shui compass.

• When the basics of the house are ready, you need to decide on the main door. In fact, the right position and the color of the main door is something of paramount importance. In Feng Shui philosophy, the main door is the Mouth of chi–the whole energy enters your house through that “mouth.” Only if the door fits the Feng Shui principles, you will have a flow of positive and lively energy in your home and successfully preserve it.

The main concept is to match the color of the door with the color of the element representing the direction that your door faces.

• If the door looks to the south you should paint it red, strong pink, purple or orange, as the element of South is fire. Green and brown colors relate to the element of wood. We get fire from wood, so these colors will also do in this case.

• If the door looks west paint it white, as the element of the West is metal and metal color can be considered white.

• If the door faces north, paint it blue or black–these are the colors of the element water.

Note, if there are stairs facing your main door, put a tall vase there, a plant or a sculpture–something with strong colors, so that to block free flow of energy from the main door. Never place home mirrors facing you main door, because it will send all the energy coming through the door right back out.
