Feng Shui Tips for the Home and Garden

If you decide to increase the size of your home, you must first think about the influence this extension will probably have on the general shape of the building. Some shape combinations are auspicious, whereas others aren't. At the same time, you should examine precisely what result this extension can have on the general position of the house and what impact it will have on the directional sector it occupies.

An additional strategy of identifying the Feng Shui effects of home extensions is to check the element symbolized by the area where the extension will be built, after which you'll verify its effect on the element represented by your main doorway. Therefore, if your extension will be built on the northern side of the home, it represents the element water. If your main door is situated oriented towards the southeast (which symbolizes wood) then the extension will improve the door's Feng Shui, because water creates wood.

If, however, the extension is situated in the northwest, which represents metal, then the extension could have a negative impact on the door, because metal destroys wood. Using this method of evaluation is very recommended, given that element analysis is among the essential principles of all Feng Shui practice.

This same analysis may be applied to the building of gazebos, stand-alone garages, as well as other big structures designed for the house.

Walls and fences serve to separate the border of the home from external influences. Walls, for example, are efficient barriers that will block out the influence of harmful items like boulders, fast-flowing or clogged up drains, telephone poles, as well as many other inauspicious structures. The design of walls, however, will need to be harmonized with the landscape.
