Feng Shui, is it important for you when buying a house?

[briansd1]

I was told that the toilet should never be in the middle of the house.

That acts as a money pit for wealth, health, prosperity.

I can see how a toilet in the middle of house could be seen as a dirty dark well what will suck in the good energy.

That’s hard to avoid in single-level houses and in apartments.

What do you Asian guys say? Would you accept a bathroom in the middle of the house?

It supposed to mean money goes in and goes straight out. One way to fix it is either to move one of the door or add a wall in between. But if you’re talking about your rental with this “problem”, then there’s not much you can do, but move.

Since it’s a rental and she can’t move the door, the next best thing is to put a 6 ft tall by 4 ft wide safe where the back door is, facing the stairs.

That way, the money that tries to escape will be caught in the safe as savings.

I find it amusing that many of the people who consider religion “superstitious nonsense” frequently buy into the whole Feng Shui bull-puckey, as if, somehow, Chinese superstitions are superior to Italian or Jewish superstitions.

Good design principles and construction are what make homes livable, not adherence to “Feng Shui principles,” many of which are nothing more than the common sense principles taught in any good design course.
The rest are superstitious jive, (such as “I would avoid buying a house with the sink and the stove directly facing each other, this can lead to arguments and conflict within the family”) as ridiculous as any religious bull that’s come along.

Jive.

Brutus — agreed 100%. Thought I’d still rather have the sink on the same side of the kitchen as the stove. Makes working in the kitchen easier IMHO.

The biggest of all Feng Shui principles is a home that is good value for money. That makes most homes Feng Shui unfriendly. In fact, the bubble was caused by a total disregard for its principles. So to free the positive spirit of your home, and drive out all negative ‘chi’ you must lower the expectations of its value (25-50% will do), and take the lowest offers. This will create great harmony, especially with your neighbors and realtor.

The force be with you!

Why? How does the sink and stove relative positions affect your arguments and conflicts?

LOL! Good one, I love it!

I believe conflicts happen within the family with the sink and stove directly facing each other, but conflicts also happen within the family without the sink and stove directly facing each other. I have never seen a Fengshui book that starts with statistical sampling, which I really believe.

That said, I do pay attention to Fengshui when buying house only because it affects the market value.
