Feng Shui Fun

Sometimes if a room doesn't work, something is wrong or out of place and you can't figure it out, it could be a Feng Shui problem. Really, I have found Feng Shui to be basic design rules that work, and work well. It means balancing a room, no highs and lows like a rollercoaster, balanced furniture, large pieces as focal points small accents pieces to add interest. Think rounded corners, not sharp edges. I don't like a lot of mirrors in any room, they are distracting, and sometimes cheap looking and looks like the room decorator got lazy. For a room to appear larger using mirrors, you must not see your direct reflection in them. 

Home office: The desk should be placed facing a window or a door. If your back is to a door, try putting the desk at an angle, so part of the door or a window is in view.

Bedroom: Place the bed against a wall facing the door. The bed can be at an angle, but you should be facing the door when sleeping, not in direct line with the door, off to the side, as you don't want your body to block the actual doorway...that is unsettling...I think you know what I mean, as in "feet first" directly in front of a door is a big no-no.

Kitchen: No mirrors, put everything away, clean counter tops work best, simple design. A few items can be out on the counter or on shelves that are nice pieces.

Bathroom: The biggest mistake is focusing too much on decorating, having too much clutter. It should be minimal functional design, a pretty soap dish, hand towels, real flowers, or a pretty candle.

Here are a few examples I think you will like that are simple to duplicate:
