Review & Description

Understanding Feng Shui and Its Role in Design and Life

Feng Shui is a design term you probably have heard bandied about for years but don’t really understand. Pronounced “fung shway,” a quick and dirty definition of Feng Shui could be “an ancient Chinese method of manipulating a living space through the positioning of objects to achieve a harmonic partnership with the environment.” When stated like that, many people believe this concept to be a bunch of hooey. However, the truth is that Feng Shui is a valid concept and incorporates so much more.


Certain architectural elements are often viewed in terms of Feng Shui in addition to how to place furniture as well as what colors and even textures to incorporate into a design. Even particular items or objects are considered to be instrumental in creating a good Feng Shui. Proponents of this design method believe that the overall goal should always be working towards the ideal “chi” or that overall energy that exists within all of us.

Keeping all of this in mind, put simply, Feng Shui is really about the colors, textures, furniture placement and even the place you occupy within a room to achieve maximum harmony and comfort levels. While professional designers have to study for years to truly understand and accurately apply the design concepts of Feng Shui, it is possible for the layperson to grasp the main idea and employ it in their own home.
