As we enter the Year of the Tiger, we asked feng shui masters across Asia for tips on how to create family harmony in the new year.
UNDERSTAND THE BASICS
While feng shui doesn’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions, there are some general principles that are easy to follow. Here’s what the masters we spoke to have to say about how feng shui philosophies come into play in living spaces— and the auspicious shades to look out for in the coming year.
“Feng shui is a philosophy behind living spaces. ‘Wind’ (feng) refers to the flow of chi and energy, whereas ‘water’ (shui) can be interpreted as the importance of maintaining fluidity in day-to-day life. In essence, feng shui is all about people: [inside a home] you have to consider every occupant’s personal space and respect shared spaces.” — Joyce Liao
“[Items added to your home for purposes of feng shui] should blend in nicely with your interior decor and not stick out like a sore thumb. [They should create] harmony, because that is what feng shui is essentially about. If a decorative item does not sit well with you or in your home, then it may not be the right item for you. — Jennifer Too
“The lucky colours for 2022 include grey, yellow, orange, beige and khaki. Generally, colours of the earth element will bring stabilisation and help individuals improve their overall wellbeing.” — Hillary Phang
MARIE KONDO IT
Most of our experts emphasise the importance of decluttering—a simple step in creating a home with good feng shui.
“Reducing clutter plays a very important part in improving the chi of your home, especially for those with large families.” — Clarice Chan
