Applying Feng Shui might seem like it would be too technical for your liking. However, if simplified, perhaps you would be more inclined to do so. Well, then hopefully the following information will lead you to create such a balanced living environment. Just remember to think in these terms in each and every room in your home, whether you be selecting furniture for a dining room, or choosing elements of fitted kitchens. Setting up just one harmonious space will not be enough, if those bordering it are out of whack.

In Feng Shui, broadly speaking, there are two types of energy, helpful (sheng chi) and harmful (shar chi). To avoid bringing in shar chi you need to familiarize yourself with where it exists. Today we are discussing one of its sources, the poison arrow. These can bring loss in several aspects of your life if they are not deflected, or eliminated. The impact may arise in the area of health, finance, employment and some others, and they may develop in one member of the household’s world or many. They can come from objects lying outside of the home, and within, but for purposes of this discussion we are concerning ourselves with things inside the house.

One place that these can be found are sharp corners that jut out. As such, you can either forgo putting too many articles in your rooms that have such sharp corners, or you can combat them with items that fend them off. If your design involves such poison arrows, you can diminish their impact by using mirrors, soft objects, or rounded edges in surrounding décor. Do not take this to mean that you should only have materials indoors that are curved, or cushy, that is not how this works. For to have balance you need to have some squared off pieces along with the others. Not to mention decorating without corners would be more than a little difficult. In addition, it should be clarified that sharp corners that are lined up against other sharp corners do not create these arrows. Make note, the corner itself is not what we are opposed to, it is their placement.

Thus, those cabinets you put into your kitchen will not have a negative connotation, in fact they should enhance the space when installed properly. But, you may want to bring in some soft window coverings, or some seat cushions for the kitchen chairs. And the dining room furniture is also easily balanced even if you choose things that are square or rectangle, as you need some corners for balance. Just apply the appropriate other elements to the space to set the flow of energy in the right direction. Now, this should have cleared some things up for you, and established for you that both rounded edges and corners are useful in Feng Shui.
