Trying to work out some of the key feng shui ID which should be fundamentally similar for high rise since the layouts are all so generic nowadays.

1. If entrance looks straight into balcony, put up a partition or something to obstruct the direct path.

2. Sink should not be directly opposite stove. If it is, put in some kind of rug? (Not sure about this one)

3. Whatever quadrant of bagua you’re missing in the layout, you double up on the elements in your decor.

4. Don’t use blue colour or water features in your bedrooms?

5. Don’t have mirror facing entrances or the bed. Conversely, have a mirror reflecting your dining table.

6. Don’t have doors facing each other or the toilet. Fixable with crystals etc?

7. Always adopt command position layout for beds and desks.

8. I see some dispute about having ceiling fans in your bedroom but it’s not possible not to have them in our climate.

9. Use high energy art work in corridors and hallways.

Any other common issues that others are aware of?

It’s still big business in SG and HK.

Take control of what you can and not rue what you can’t fix.

Nonetheless I don’t believe in being slavish to anything. But some of the basic principles are widely adopted in ID anyway. You’re gonna spend the money anyhow so why not just do an additional layer of assurance. The whole philosophy of good energy flow is almost universal and is now even big business in Western markets.

Aduh. Getting completely off track. All I’m saying is one has to furnish their unit anyway so all I’m pointing out is that there are minor things you can do with an eye towards feng shui compliance. It’s an additional tick on a checklist for those who are so inclined.

Thanks. I’m just looking to compile some tips of common layout things like not having your bed face the door for example.

Exactly I’m looking at it from the more superficial ID angle to promote energy flow and to have vitality in the space rather than the full on superstitious mumbo jumbo.

Yea the idea is to create walk ways that flow around the whole place. If you see enough ID, you get an idea of commonly done Feng Shui compliant designs that are simple and inexpensive.

The local feng shui masters are damn predatory. Pretty much told my friend their brand new 1500 sqft condo is a harbinger of doom. And the recommendations were so impractical and expensive like reorienting an entire bathroom.

It’s a hard one and a real test on your belief system when an authority figure effectively tells you your family will be afflicted by disease, marriage breakdown, career go nowhere etc. if enough people repeat this nonsense then it can really impact a property’s value.
