A wall, trees, shrubbery, and hanging plants are often used to slow down or to screen out fast-moving or negative energy. A weathervane or water, such as a fountain in the front of the house, might also help. Intersections create lots of qi. If your front door is not well situated, it could become bombarded with energy, making relaxation impossible. A mirror on the front of the house can deflect energy.
Balance is a cornerstone of happiness and good design.
Everything from exterior lamp poles to inside decorations might need balancing to generate harmonious energy. Sharp, jutting angles need to be softened by placing plants or statues in front. Furniture in the living room should facilitate movement and conversation . Since the living room is a yang area, consider adding yin influences with plants, soft cushions, and perhaps a fish tank. The foot of a bed should not be in a direct line to the door since in ancient China the dead were laid with their feet toward the door of the death house for easier access to heaven.
