SIMPLE FENG SHUI REMEDIES FOR "GOOD HOUSEKEEPING" IN YOUR HOME

General guidelines for outside your property.

· The path to your door should be obvious with no obstructions such as overgrowing plants.
· Keep the entrance to your property clear and clean.
· Store your rubbish away from your front door. 
· If the front of your property is dark, either install lights or paint your door a light colour.
· Make your doorway attractive with seasonal plants placed in ceramic, stone or terracotta pots. 
· Properly maintain your front door so that it opens easily.
· The letterbox and property number or name should be clearly visible and clean.
· The doorbell or knocker should be obvious and at a sensible height.

General guidelines for the inside of your property.

· All rooms and passageways should be clean, well lit and clear of clutter.
· Fresh-cut flowers, plants, lights, music and moving water all energise a home, especially dark corners.
· Furniture should be well spaced out and away from the main doorways to each room. 
· Colour schemes for rooms should be calm, neutral or light. 
· All windows should be regularly cleaned and well maintained. 
· Mirrors should be removed that are opposite doors, windows, beds, desks or other mirrors.
· Clear away and refresh any flowers that are past their best and avoid plastic or dried flowers.
· Beams should be covered with a false ceiling or uplighters should be used.

Hallways
· All hallways should be bright, welcoming and fresh smelling. 
· If your vestibule is narrow you should minimize furniture, have light coloured wall and use full spectrum daylight bulbs.

Kitchens
· If you can see your hob/cooker from outside, hang a blind or curtain in the window to restrict its view.

Studies/Home offices
· Your desk should be diagonally opposite the door with as much of the room visible to you as possible. 
· When sitting at the desk your back should be against a solid wall and you should be facing into the room.
· Avoid sitting with your back to a window, shelves or a heavy object. 
· Peace lilies, yucca and spider plants are especially good when placed behind your computer.
· Your paperwork should be filed neatly in shelves or cabinets off the ground. Paperwork placed on the ground is detrimental to your business.
· If possible photocopiers, printers and facsimile machines should be placed away from where you work.

· The medicine cabinet is best in the bathroom.

Bedrooms
· The beds in adult, children and baby bedrooms should be against a solid wall, diagonally opposite the door if possible.

· Avoid placing the bed directly opposite the bedroom door, especially if your feet are pointing out the door.
· Avoid sleeping with heavy pictures, overhanging cupboards or shelves, wall lights, mirrors, windows, eaves or beams above you head. 
· Televisions and computers should be kept out of the bedroom.
· Electrical appliances should be kept away from your head when you are asleep.
