To create the appearance of depth in a narrow or otherwise constricted room, hang a large mirror on the wall.

When you set up your vanity lights in your bathroom, pay close attention to the shadows they cast. You don’t want to have your vanity lights set up in such a way that it is difficult to see what you are doing or in such a way that you appear to be veiled in shadows when you look in the mirror. Your vanity lights should be positioned in a way that provides a clear, usable working light.

Make the entrance area to your home a useful and attractive space by adding these essential items: A table with a small tray for items like key chains. A larger tray for outbound mail and the like.

Make each room in your home look expensive by adding one high-end piece of furniture. Each room needs a focal point; otherwise, everything just blurs together and the room has no sparkle. Choose one special piece of furniture; a great armoire, a trompe l’oleil chest, an oversize mirror with an ornate frame or something else special and unique to dress up each room. Your friends will think you’ve hired a designer.

If you are renovating a small room, consider making use of built-in mirrors. The reflection from a carefully-positioned mirror will make a small room seem considerably more spacious. A mirror near the window can add more natural light to a dim room. Avoid overusing mirrors or placing them opposite of each other, however, as this can create strange lighting effects.

When remodeling your bathroom, make sure you add sufficient lighting. People tend to focus on fixtures when remodeling their bathroom, and forget that lighting is important. Find lights that you can add around your mirror or medicine cabinet, and add ceiling lights that can easily be replaced should the bulb die out.

When considering a bathroom remodel, think small. A small budget can still mean a big impact, that looks much more expensive than it actually was. Replace towel bars, toilet roll holders, the mirror, and your light fixture. Add a coat of paint to really spruce things up. Your bathroom will look modern and updated without leaving a dent in your pocketbook.

Feng Shui is the traditional Chinese art form of placing and arranging items in your surroundings to maximize the flow of Chi in the environment, thus bringing good luck and fortune into your lives. In fact most practitioners agree that Feng Shui is really a two-step method: avoidance, and remedy. Today that we are living in a fast-paced world where we are too busy all the time. We are busy fulfilling our responsibilities so that we don’t have the time to relax and unwind; which is why we need to create a relaxation practice through simple things like having a bamboo flute in our home.

Indeed using the bamboo flute remedy as a form of relaxation oftentimes is misunderstood. It is said that a lot of people believe that the Japanese flute provides a form of Chi push and enhances the energy in a room, as a result adding power, safety, peace and endurance. Unfortunately there is no hard evidence of this and it could just be a myth. Nevertheless the sound coming from a simple bamboo flute gives a mood of relaxation and a feeling of calm well-being to anyone who hears it.

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese system using the laws of both Heaven (Chinese astronomy) and Earth (landform environment) to help a person improve the quality of life by receiving positive Qi from his natural living environment. It literally means wind-water in English.

However, the correct term of Feng Shui is actually “Kan Yu”. Kan means the theory of cosmology and Yu means the theory of the terrestrial. The term is actually a borrowed from the book of Burial Classic.

This practise of Kan Yu began around 3500 years ago. During this period, Taoism’s influence was popular in China as well. Many Taoist monks also practised Kan Yu at that time. As a result Taoist religious beliefs and the principle of Kan Yu were mixed and used in the deeply rooted religious society in ancient China. As time passed, this distorted practice found its way into our modern society as what we call “New Age Feng Shui” that employs the placement of auspicious objects around the living quarters as a cure or activation of Qi.

Among the myths are the beliefs of spirits and ghosts. These beliefs are closely linked to traditional Chinese religion based on ancestor worship, many of which were incorporated in Taoism. In the olden days, the Feng Shui Master and the Taoist monk was the same person. Therefore, in the old days and even at present, Feng Shui Masters were called to cure haunted places and appease angry spirits. It was truly a case of mistaken profession. In fact this spiritual belief and cure is more related to Taoism than Chinese Metaphysics.

In the practise of Chinese Metaphysics, there are no ghosts. A place which is haunted may arise due to excessive yin energy around the natural environment in Feng Shui viewpoint. Certain combination of flying stars flying into a sector may also cause hallucination in the occupants especially if the living environment has a lot of yin energy or Qi.

This concept is very similar to the research done by Michael Persinger of Laurentian University, Canada. In his research, changes in geomagnetic fields which are created by tectonic stresses in the Earth’s crust or solar activity could stimulate the brain’s temporal lobes that cause the experiences associated with haunting in individuals.

There are many others misconception and myths that have not been found in the Kan Yu theory but may come from religious connotation. For examples;

Hanging the flute or ba-gua can avoid evil.
Colour can enhance Qi.
The corner of your cupboard or any furnitures can pose as a Sha Qi to you.
Mirror can protect against Sha Qi as well as enhance Qi.
Feng Shui is from the religion of Taoism or Buddhism.
An aquarium with 6, 8 or even 9 fishes cannot block Sha Qi and bring you wealth. The main purpose of water is to contain yang qi and bring the Qi flow to your home.

As a result of these malpractices, many are sceptical of these practises. Let me tell you this, planting a “Lucky Bamboo” will not help you enhance the Qi. In fact it can be very bad to the ecosystem.
