The foundation of a wellness focused home begins with considered design, and Feng Shui takes this to a level above just creating a functional floor plan. The ancient Chinese practice of Feng Shui focuses on harmonising the energy, or “chi,” within a space to promote balance, health, and prosperity.
It involves things such as the orientation of the home on the land, placement of doorways and windows and considered placement of furniture, the use of natural elements, and attention to the flow of energy within each room. By aligning the layout and design with the principles of Feng Shui, homeowners can create spaces that promote balance, peace and harmony.

According to Edgar common mistakes people make in Feng Shui are:
1. Confusing Good Interior Design with Good Feng Shui
Many people mistakenly believe that a stylish interior design or a well chosen colour scheme automatically means good Feng Shui, however Feng Shui is more about energy flow and balance that décor.
2. Placing the Kitchen, Staircase, or Toilet at the Centre of the Home
A floorplan with areas like the kitchen, staircase, or bathroom in the centre of the house can disrupt energy flow. The centre of the home should remain open and balanced to allow for good energy circulation.
3. Doors with Conflicting Angles for the View
Often doors are placed to capture a scenic view, but if these doors face different angles that conflict with the main entrance, it can create disharmony in the flow of energy through the home.
4. Misalignment of the Main Entrance and Internal Doors
If the main entrance or internal access doors are not optimally aligned, it can cause energy to move awkwardly through the home, leading to discomfort or instability. Proper alignment ensures smooth and harmonious energy flow.
5. Misunderstanding the Alignment of the Front and Back Doors
Some people assume that having the front door aligned with the back door is always bad Feng Shui. While it can be problematic in certain cases (causing energy to rush through the home too quickly), in some situations, this alignment can be beneficial depending on the doors’ location.
