A plant here, a wind chime there, can work wonders with your life, claim feng shui practitioners

HARMONY AT HOME

Wind chimes, plants, screens, drapes, mirrors and lights help enhancech'i. Metal wind chimes are good in the west and northwest corners of the house.

Sharp edges of furniture, protruding corners, square pillars and overhead beams create unhealthych'i. Soften them with plants and mirrors.

The main door should never open into a cramped hall or a staircase. Place a screen in-between or curve the bottom of the stairs.

Toilets should not be located in the north as this flushes away career opportunities. In case of odd-shaped rooms, expand the missing area with mirrors.

Never arrange living room furniture in an L-shape. Prefer a hexagonal pattern.

Don't display sharp objects such as swords, knives, firearms or hunting trophies on the wall. They generate negative energy and cause disharmony.

Place potted plants or flowers in the east (artificial flowers are inauspicious). Surround yourself with beauty and keep such objects above eye-level to have an aspirational orientation to life.

Never sit with your back to the door or directly in front of it.

Always keep the toilet seat down and the doors of toilet and bathroom closed.

Remove all clutter and keep your dustbin covered.

Repair leaking water taps. A leaking tap means loss of wealth.

Repair non-working electrical items and non-working clocks.

Replace cracked mirrors.

While sleeping, make sure that your body is not reflected in any mirror.
