STYLE IN HARMONY

The look of this bachelorette's apartment is the result of a close collaboration between an interior designer and a feng shui master. Here are a few tips on how to incorporate feng shui requirements into a home’s design without compromising on style.

Homeowner Li Ling is a firm believer that feng shui can help to optimise health and wealth. So, when she collected the keys to her new apartment, she consulted both a feng shui master, as well as an interior designer.

Based on her horoscope and the orientation of the place, the feng shui master came up with a list of recommendations – including which of the three rooms to use as her bedroom and her study, as well furniture placement and even the colour scheme to adopt.

As Li Ling lacked the element of metal, she was advised to make up for it by using grey, white and gold – all colours associated with metal. “I am alright with grey and white, but decided on rose gold instead of the traditional yellow gold,” she says. “Even my dog is the correct colour,” she says jokingly about Fonzie, her seven-year-old grey miniature schnauzer.

Working closely with the feng shui master on the layout, Carmen Tang, design director of Wolf Woof, went to great lengths to integrate these elements into her concept proposal. “It wasn’t just simply about addressing the feng shui needs. More importantly, it was about doing it with style,” Carmen emphasizes.
