Feng Shui for Dining Room

What are The best locations for the dining room In a home?

Ideal positions for the dining room are East (a more lively atmosphere), South - East (best for conversationalists), West (great especially for newly weds or singles looking to be a newly wed as this location is good for pleasure, romance and entertainment) and North – West (the best location for serious entertainers who want a more formal, serious atmosphere) of the center of your home. At all costs try to avoid a dining room that is North - East from the center of the house as this is known to produce fast-changing sharp chi energy and is not the ideal place to have a relaxing meal. Also try to not locate it within sight of the front door. As in most Feng Shui rooms it is best to have two doors that allow chi to circulate, but if doorways on opposite walls are directly in line with each other chi will move straight through the room.

What are the best furnishings and accessories for a Feng Shui dining room?

The following tips should be reflected upon when creating a perfect dining experience.

1. Floors:

If at all possible use natural wood floors. (They have a neutral effect on chi energy and are easy to clean.) Some experts say to avoid rugs and carpets. Others seem to think that a thick rug or carpet adds a soothing texture.

2. Flexible Lighting:

Dimmer switches are a must! (They offer low lighting for romance, brighter lighting for parties and everyday use in between.) Candles have long been added for energy, which helps to produce a warm vibrant atmosphere for any occasion.

3. Furniture:

Easy-to-clean surfaces are essential. Wood is ideal since it doesn't speed up chi energy. Different woods affect chi energy differently. (Softwoods such as pine and elm are more yin and are best for everyday relaxed family meals - dark hardwoods such as oak, mahogany and teak are more yang, which is more appropriate for formal occasions such as dinner parties.) Hard surfaces like marble and glass speed up the flow of chi energy across the table, making for a more stimulating but also more edgy atmosphere. The shape of a dining table can be more yin or more yang - a round or square table is more yang and carries dynamic chi energy. An oval or rectangular table induces a more gentle energy, which is better for relaxing dinner. (Although many Feng Shui experts say to avoid square and rectangular tables as they limit you to only four directions. An oval shape is recommended as the best for Feng Shui design.) The dining room is an exception to the Feng Shui guideline of aiming to leave some open space in the center of every room. Here the dining table itself should occupy the center position. It is also very important to choose a table that fits the size of your area to make sure there is enough room to walk around the table (equal space around the whole table works best). It has been said to avoid any sharp corners that face your guests. Too much heavy, dark, old furniture - especially when it is squeezed into too small a space – also creates a heavy, dark feeling and blocks the flow of chi. The door should not open too close to any chairs and the honored guest position should face it.

4. Limit the accessories:

A mirror on the wall or sideboard, reflecting the table, enhances the healthy chi energy produced by the food. Mess is death to any Feng Shui room, minimize as much as possible. A crystal chandelier over the center of the dining table will help to balance chi in the room. Remove all clocks and calendars so none of the time pressures from the day carry over into the meal. One definite mistake is to have a television in view of where you eat. Using a tablecloth, rather than individual placemats, is a great way to encourage closeness among your diners.

Beautify Your Home

• The furniture of the living room should be placed in such a way that family members can communicate easily. If the living room is big enough then do not place the sofas and chairs along the walls, place them around the center table.
• If any space if left then arrange desk and chair for sitting individually.
• Keep a masterpiece like wall unit or picture frame in the living room at an eye-attracting place.
• Do not keep furniture of different dimensions with each other.
• If any article is small in height then keep a hanging art work above it.
• In a small house bedroom is used not for sleeping but for reading or performing exercise also. The bedroom with dim light is good for sleeping. But for reading and exercise, the you must illuminate bedroom. Make different arrangements for different activities.
• If television or computer is kept in bedroom then make sufficient lighting arrangements with overhead and portable lights.
  
• If any of the partner reads before sleeping, then arrange personal lights so the partner can read without disturbing other.
  
• Arrange direct light near computer, sewing machine, soft light in seating area and bright light above dressing table.
  
• Keep an art work behind the bed. And paint the wall behind the bed with different colour.
  
• If bathroom is small, a mirror light is enough. But if it is big, then additionally ceiling light is also required. And hanging light will beautify the bathroom.
  
• Frame- less mirror gives a modern look to bathroom.
• Make a cabinet in kitchen, above dishwater or gas or oven to keep glasses, dishes, plates and bowls.
• Platform should be according to the size of the kitchen.
• Carpet should be of matching colour with wall and furniture, and should be of perfect size.
• Colour what it looks on the card, may not look on the wall. So before finalising get a trial patch painted on the wall.
  

Colour for Home.

Colour theory basics :

To describe a colour three terms are used namely hue, value and intensity. Hue describes the colour itself like green, brown, gold. Value refers to how light or dark the colour is. Intensity is a bit more complicated. Primary colours are red, yellow and blue and secondary colours are orange, green purple. Primary colours are the only pure colours that exist. All other colours are created by mixing a combination of hues. Intensity refers to colour saturation - the amount of pure colour in a given tint, which can be seen as the difference between the red of a firetruck and the red of a flowerpot.

Neutrals :

Since all colours except primary ones are made by mixing pigments together, every colour belongs to a specific family. Light brown is a soft light brown with a pink, yellow grey or green. The difference seems very minute. Put a beige-to-green sofa against a beige-to-pink painted wall and the effect is magnificent.

Ignore colour names :

Different colour names are given by different companies to the same colour or may be similar names to different colours. So when you select a colour do not go by name.

Take samples :

Select colors based on where they appear in the manufacturer's display, and take the samples home, where they can be viewed in the room in which they will go. Study them in daylight and in whatever artificial light is prevalent in the space, on sunny days, and rainy ones. Be certain that the sample taped up is large enough to give a true sense of the color-3” x 5” is the smallest, and larger is better. When the choices are narrowed down to two, buy a small quantity of the paint, and roll on a 2’ x 2’ square right on the wall. Repeat the study steps until the colors have been viewed in every possible lighting condition.

Pick paint last :

Paint colors come in an almost infinite variety, and computer matching technology has given home decorators an even larger palette. When selecting a paint color as part of a total room color scheme, start with the item with the fewest options. This will probably be the flooring, but might also be upholstery fabric, or an antique tapestry. It’s a million time easier to find a paint that matches the rug than it is to find a rug that matches the paint.

Feng Shui for your bedroom.

To improve your love life, however fine it is, you will love to improve it, or you are bored with the look of your bedroom, following tips may help you.

• Change the whole bedroom including bedroom furnishings, wall colour and accessories. Keep in mind to get balance of the 5 elements and as well as honour the shapes and colours of the house.
• Make major decor changes within the bedroom, i.e. don't go for the same old stuff. Within bedroom, you must feel refreshing.
  
• If you do not have any proper dislike for wooden furniture, buy a wooden bed. Metal is good conductor of electricity and if the bed is of metal, that may create health concern for you and your partner. Do not put any electrical appliances near your bed. Do not use electrical heating pads or massage pads (even if plugged in but not turned on).
  
• Check for the lighting to see if it is not too harsh or too dim. No electric appliance sound should disturb your mood.
  
• Avoid large plants in the bedroom.
  
• Avoid large mirrors in the bedroom.
• Avoid sharp metal like knives , scissors etc in the bedroom.
• Create a headboard for the bed and place it against the most solid wall in the bedroom. If the bed is in line with a doorway, hang a crystal between the bed and that area.
