Feng Shui Considerations for Renovation in Singapore
Many Singapore homeowners like to consider feng shui when renovating — the traditional practice of arranging a home to encourage good energy flow. Whatever your beliefs, several of its principles simply make for a comfortable, well-planned home. Here’s a practical overview of what people commonly ask us to accommodate.
Key takeaways
- Feng shui focuses on flow, light, balance and decluttering.
- Common asks: entrance, layout, bed/desk position and mirrors.
- Many principles overlap with good, practical design.
- For specifics, homeowners often consult a feng shui practitioner.
Common considerations
Requests we often accommodate include a welcoming, uncluttered entrance; layouts with good flow and natural light; thoughtful positioning of the bed and desk (e.g. a “command” position with a view of the door); careful placement of mirrors; and keeping the home clutter-free with plenty of concealed storage.
Where it overlaps with good design
Notice that much of this — light, flow, balance and reduced clutter — is simply good, liveable design. A bright, uncluttered, well-organised home feels better to live in regardless of belief, which is why these principles are easy to build in.
