Question: How Do I Decorate My Living Room When It Is In Two Feng Shui Bagua Areas?

Answer: Decorating a living room that falls in two different bagua areas is easier than it sounds. Having a living room, or any room in your home, being divided in between two feng shui bagua areas is a very common occurrence.

First, it is very helpful to understand not only which feng shui elements are needed in specific bagua areas, but also the subtle way they interact.

Once you master the art of expressing the five feng shui elements in a subtle, but powerful way, I assure you will be very pleased with your feng shui skills!

So, to help decorate a living room in two different bagua areas:

• Understand which feng shui elements are most needed in specific bagua areas.



• Understand how to express the needed feng shui elements in colors and shapes.



• Understand how to weaken or strengthen a specific element by using one of the cycles of the feng shui elements.

This might sound overwhelming, but believe me it is not. Once you understand the basics if it, you will much enjoy shifting the energy in your home by playing with the five elements feng shui theory.

To help you out, let's take an example of a living room that is located part in the Southwest feng shui area (Love & Marriage) and part in the West area (Children & Creativity).

Southwest area needs the Earth feng shui element, and West area needs the Metal feng shui element. Look for a common denominator in between the two areas, which in this case is the Earth element (Earth nourishes Metal).

So, in our example of a living room located in two bagua areas (Southwest and West), you can safely base the living room decor on an earth color scheme and then bring other elements and colors as accents.

Hope this helps!
