Feng Shui Tips: Bring Luck & Prosperity to Your House

1. Protect your home from bad luck

If your front door can be found facing north, you’ll want to have stone-carved lion ornaments to protect your home from unwanted troubles. A pair of qilin ornaments can do the job too.

Buff up the Feng Shui with a red or purple blanket. Then, you can attract wealth to your door with pi xiu items. The same applies to bedrooms and offices in this area.

While you’re at it, make sure your beds, office tables, and other things you plan to use in the long term are not facing north this year.

Avoid green or blue plants like succulents and blue ternates for now. If you own some of these plants, consider selling them on Carousell if you want to be on the safe side.

2. Have a calming environment for study

If there are students, whether grade school or post-graduate studies in your home, you’ll want to give them an environment conducive to learning. Breathe some life into their study areas by placing evergreen plants like boxwood or juniper bonsai near their desks. It would be more advantageous if you were to put all these in the southwest part of your home.

A Wenchang Pagoda or a writing brush holder will improve Feng Shui while upping the scholastic vibe of the study area.

3. Keep the house organized

If you want to attract more wealth in 2020, then you have to make sure you make room in your home. If you’re finding your home cluttered, it’s high time to get rid of some things that you don’t need anymore.

In fact, if you sell these items online, you’re literally inviting wealth into your home already. You make room in your home for new things while making money.

Don’t put mirrors, clothes hangers, and metal products in the south east area of your home to avoid bad luck. Instead, put a bagua to attract good luck.
