Today the whole Feng Shui trend is not nearly as popular as it used to be in the late 90s and a lot of people might consider it completely outdated. However, there still are many people that design their interiors taking into account the rules of positive energy. Having a history of more than 6 centuries, Feng Shui is believed to bring positive energy and prosperity into those homes decorated by the Feng Shui rules.
The idea is that every object in a house contributes to its Chi, so you might want to make sure it is the good Chi and not the bad Chi!
It might sound crazy, if you’re not into this sort of things, but you may as well try and see if it works.
Here are a few tips and reasons to adopt Feng Shui when it comes to the positioning of your windows and doors.
Windows and doors are really important when planning your floor plan because they define the flow of energy, and their purpose should be to focus on channelling light and energy. In ancient cultures they are consider to be very important because both good and bad energy enter the house through them.
When planning to build a house, to buy or to rent a new one, the first thing you should pay attention to is the combined position of the windows and the doors. If they are directly aligned, the good energy comes and goes through the house without entering all rooms. A good Feng Shui floor plan will allow energy to remain inside of the house and this means that no door should face another door or a window.
In this article’s title we mentioned the idea of “arguing doors” and now it’s time to elaborate. The expression describes three or more doors that are located in close proximity. Those doors that touch each other when they are opened. The Feng Shui principles say that this touch creates the inevitable energy of arguments and discords. Windows and doors need space around them to fully open and they should not be prevented from fully opening in anyway, particularly by another door or window. In Feng Shui this is believed to create a chaotic and angry atmosphere in the house.
Another principle states that it’s best to avoid having too many windows in the back of the house because this will weaken its energy.
Finally, when it comes to your bedroom’s windows, in Feng Shui it is believed that there should not be too many windows or for them to be too low, or from floor to ceiling and its best to try to and avoid placing the bed near the window.
