LET IT GO
While feng shui doesn't offer onesize-fits-all solutions, there are some easy-to-follow tips that can improve fortunes in general.
• Throw away stuff that is broken, redundant or has not been used in the last six months, says Priya Subberwal. "This will allow a better quality of qi flow in your home."
• Decluttering is especially important in the entryway. "This area is known as the Inner Bright Hall, which allows the qi to gather and spread to the whole house," says David Tong.
• Mirrors should not be placed opposite the front door either at home or on business premises as "good energy and opportunities will be bounced straight back out again", says Nina Kati.
• Don't leave a knife block out on the kitchen counter, says Kati. "The kitchen-especially if skylights are present has the most heated energy in the house, where rows can erupt suddenly and intensely, so hide knives away in a drawer."
