When you are building a new house, it’s perhaps one of the biggest decisions in your life and an important investment that you are making hence it is essential that you consider a few important points. In this article, we will share a few Feng Shui tips for building a new home.
The first thing that you need to consider is the site of the house. Is it well suited for the house? Is it open in the front? When choosing a site for your home, it is important that you have some protection at the back and in the sides. It is preferable to have land in back side higher than the land at the front.
If there’s a water body around your house, it is better if it is situated in the front. It is not a good idea to have water rushing directly towards the house.
Your entrance should be viewed clearly as you get closer to the house. The way leading to your home should be well defined and take visitors to your front door. Also, you should take care that your home is designed in a way that enables you to use the front door easily. As this is the mouth of chi, it is important for the house owners to use that door.
When designing your house, the overall shape is an important factor. Your home doesn’t have to be square or rectangle shaped, but it should look complete after the landscaping is done.
Next, you should consider the ceiling height of the house. If they are too high then it might make the house feel too yang, and if the ceilings are too low then it might make the area look yin. The placement of the beams is also important and it is better to place them slightly higher than the normal ceiling so that they do not impact the chi of the space.
Make sure there are some open spaces inside the house in order to define the various areas, and define the purpose of each and every room. Although this doesn’t mean that the room cannot be used for any other purpose but it serves to be clear about what the rooms are compatible for.
Storage is a vital factor and when building a home you must plan in advance for easily accessible storage spaces taking into account the number of people living in the house.
