By using a bagua map (see Feng Shui) to get an overview of your home, line the bottom of the square map with the entrance to your front door (as if you were standing at your front door looking in with the map in front of you.  Your front door will line up with either the Skills and Knowledge, Career or Helpful People & Travel areas.
Pay attention to the color, shape, number and element that should dominate each area. Â For instance, in the relationship area, their should be 2 items in your room or a pairing of items. Use the colors of pink, red or white in this room. Earth is the dominate element in this area so use something (preferably in twos) that represent this element.
Entrance
The energy coming through the door is the single most important factor that will determine how prosperous the occupants will be.
The location of the door with regards to the sectors of the home, indicate a priority to the occupants, therefore a person who has their front door located in the North sector, suggests that their career is very important to them
Make sure there is nothing in direct alignment with the door such as a tree or telegraph pole. To remedy this place a Bagua mirror over the door so it is reflecting the secret arrows or Sha Qi.
The path to the front door should be wide, spacious and well lit. Curved windy paths leading to the main entrance are auspicious.
A beautiful picture placed on the wall opposite the main door is used to encourage energy into the home and therefore opportunities to come into your life.
Your main door should always open inwards into a wide space to invite the Qi therefore opportunities into one’s life
Place two wide leaved plants next to the main door to help entice the energy in such as peace lilies.
Avoid facing a dark room, an interior staircase, mirror, stove, sink, fireplace, the door of a bathroom, laundry or bedroom. To remedy this keep the doors closed or place a screen between the doors.
Bedroom
The bed head should be against a solid wall. This will provide you with a sense of support and security when sleeping.
You should be able to see the whole room while lying in bed. Avoid placing the foot of the bed in direct alignment with the door as this is the coffin position.
If the bedroom or bathroom door can be seen from the front door it can turn the energy yin. This may make the occupants lack motivation and feel fatigued and lazy.
Your bed should not be located under an exposed beam.
Avoid mirrors as they are harmful to relationships especially if they are directly opposite the bed. Remove them or cover them over while sleeping.
Avoid clutter as Qi should flow easily through the room. It is particularly important that you do not store anything under the bed.
Bedrooms in the East are said to be auspicious as they catch the rising sun. This entices the occupants to get up and make something of their day.
Two red candles in the South west (relationship) sector of the room are a romantic feature which will encourage intimacy among a couple. (never leave them lit and unattended).
Study or Living Area
