However, it is also necessary to know some Feng Shui considerations and taboos for home decoration. What are the Feng Shui common sense and taboos for home decoration? Let’s take a look together! Feng Shui terminology is important knowledge in Feng Shui. Let’s take a look at it below. 1. Home decoration Feng Shui: Feng Shui inside the house 1. The ground inside the house must be flat without any bumps or uneven areas, and the same applies to outside the door. 2. Avoid using square or straight line patterns on the ceiling; circular patterns are best. 3. The color of the ceiling must be lighter than that of the surrounding walls to avoid a sense of oppression. 4. If you lay carpets in your house, you should not lay carpets of different colors just because the styles of the doors are different. 5. If there is partial damage to the wallpaper or floor, dig out a piece and add another one. Be sure to cut it into a square. Do not just cut it into an unequal shape along the damaged part and fill it in. 6. If a house has too many triangular decorations, it is unlucky. 2. Home decoration Feng Shui: Feng Shui of the door 1. Do not use round arch doors (tomb doors) in square houses. Exceptions include mosques, the Legislative Council, etc. 2. The function of the door carpet is to wipe the dirt off the soles of shoes when entering the room or the door, so it can only be placed outside the door, not inside the door. 3. Do not place tall potted plants on both sides of the entrance, as this arrangement will give people a sense of oppression. 4. Decorative screens should not be placed directly opposite the front door as they will block the entry of earth energy (except for feng shui arrangements). 5. The main door is on the left, and the door leading to the inner room should not open to the right. 6. If you see a kitchen or toilet first when entering the house, it is unlucky and will lead to failure. 3. Home decoration Feng Shui: Bedroom Feng Shui 1. Avoid using round objects in the bedroom, even if it is a round object. Mirrors, dressing tables and chairs should also be square in shape as much as possible. Otherwise it will be difficult to relax and fall asleep. 2. If there are two doors in the same room, avoid having one opening on the left and one on the right. It is best to open the doors in the same direction. 3. Single round windows are not allowed in the bedroom. 4. The height of the bedroom window must be higher than the door. 5. It is inauspicious if the bedroom door faces the bathroom. 6. The bedroom should be square in shape and should not have a bathroom suite. If there is one, it should be placed outside the square bedroom. 7. The floor height of the bathroom suite should never be higher than the bedroom floor. 8. It is taboo to place the bed facing the door. 9. The bedroom should be square or nearly square in shape. Avoid a long and narrow one, otherwise you will not be able to sleep soundly. 10. The heights of windows in the same door should be roughly the same. 11. In the same room, the opening direction of the door should not be opposite to that of the bathroom suite. 12. Regardless of whether the bedroom is rectangular or not, it should not have an oblique pattern, and the mirror on the dressing table should not face the bed or the door. 13. It is not advisable to add a ceiling in the bedroom. The ceiling must be clear and pure, without any bumps or suspended objects. 14. It is best not to place altars on the walls connecting the bedrooms, and wooden boards are even more taboo. 15. Use less special items such as iron beds, tripods, etc. in the bedroom because the bedroom is original. Thick, warm and soft materials should be used instead of cold, hard and strong materials. Wood is preferred. 4. Home decoration Feng Shui: Living room Feng Shui 1. The living room should have good visual effects and should not have furniture that is eyesore (obstructs vision). 2. If the living room uses a chandelier, it is not appropriate to add lighting of other shapes. It’s okay to add some relief decoration on the ceiling. 3. Reflective items cannot be used in the living room, otherwise it will fill the living room with evil spirits. 4. Avoid opening an indoor palace opposite the door of the living room. 5. There should not be a spiral staircase (similar to an electric drill) in the hall, especially in the center of the hall. 6. The number of sofa sets in the living room cannot be repeated. One set is enough. It is best not to have one and a half sets or two sets of unrelated tables and chairs. It is also best not to use two different sets of sofas, tables and chairs at the same time, one square and one round. 7. If the living room is too large at first, avoid dividing it into a bedroom. 8. If a house has two living rooms, their areas should not be similar. One should be larger, and the other smaller. The front hall should be larger, and the back hall should be smaller. If a small living room is too close to the kitchen, or if the dining room is too close to the kitchen, it will be very unlucky. 4. Home decoration Feng Shui: Kitchen Feng Shui 1. The gas or liquefied petroleum gas stove should not be aligned with the water head. 2. The kitchen should not be adjacent to the bedroom, toilet, or altar. 3. The kitchen should not be connected to the toilet or face each other, otherwise it will affect health. 4. The kitchen floor should be flat and should not be wider or higher than other rooms in the house. 5. It is better to use light colors in the kitchen and avoid dark colors. 6. It is best not to have the kitchen open to the air (because a lot of dirt falls from the sky). 7. The kitchen should not be located in front of the house or living room. 8. There should be no room behind the kitchen, which means that the kitchen must be located in the back half of the house. 9. The kitchen should not be round or crescent-shaped. 10.
