For those of us who believe in positive energy and the power of your good vibes, some of the things the Feng Shui says, make a lot of sense
(although there's a lot of silly things tangled up with the logical stuff).

anyway, for those of you who believe in Feng Shui, here are a few pointers taken from this cool book:

- Never place a mirror in front of your front door because it reflects the chi (positive energy). Instead, place it on a wall to one side of the front door.
- In a house where the front door is directly in front of the back door, place a folding screen (biombo) in between the two so the good energy doesn't go straight out.
- Add live green plants to your decor. Plants deflect stress and help create a more relaxed atmosphere in any house.
- Work on something you love and make tons of money at it, and you'll have better chi.

OK, that last one is not in the book, but it's common sense
I do, like you, to a point. However I've found, in practice, that many of the things they recommend doing just aren't feasible in many spaces. I do try and take into account a few basic rules though when arranging my furniture. Regardless of whether it helps positive energy stay inside your house it generally just flows well and I'm all about smooth lines/transitions and good use of negative space
