Good Fortunes Ahead

The Year of the Rabbit begins on January 22. Take tips from the pros on what the new lunar year will bring—and the best upgrades you can make to your living spaces to maximise good energy and avoid misfortune. Meet our feng shui and interior design maestros:

Priya Subberwal, Hong Kong-based feng shui consultant, interior designer and founder of Disha Consulting

David Tong, Singapore-based founder and principal consultant of Chinese Metaphysics Global Consulting

Nina Kati, Ireland-based feng shui interior design consultant, founder of Nina Kati Feng Shui Interior Design

Anjie Cho, New York-based feng shui consultant, architect and founder of Anjie Cho Architect

LET IT GO

While feng shui doesn’t offer one-size-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.

• The centre of the home, which is known as the Heavenly Heart, should be kept quiet, says Tong. Positioning a water feature here could have especially dire consequences—this could bring heart-related health issues or monetary loss to its occupants.
