5 taboos in interior design

In Eastern culture, people attach great importance to feng shui in living space.

According to architect Hoang Hiep, who has many years of experience in interior design and construction consulting, applying Feng Shui principles will help you create a harmonious and friendly home. Below are a few things to avoid when designing a living space.

1. Do not use too many sharp corners in the house

In feng shui, sharp corners are considered to carry bad energy. In addition, for families with small children, designing with many sharp corners can be dangerous for the baby.

Therefore, to make the living space more harmonious and safe, soften the corner details, turn sharp corners into rounded corners. Instead of using furniture with many sharp edges, the owner can change and use items with rounded corner designs.

Nowadays, tea tables, sofas, beds, and cabinets with rounded corners are gradually becoming a trend.

2. Do not place the toilet in the center of the house

According to design rules and feng shui principles, the toilet should be placed in a discreet place, where few people can see it. This is not only aesthetically pleasing but also creates a comfortable feeling for the user, especially guests.

3. Do not place the bed under the window, facing the door.

As a rule, the bed should not be placed under the window because natural light can affect your sleep. In addition, according to feng shui, the bed is an important piece of furniture in the living space, and should be placed in the center, instead of under the window.

Similar to windows, placing the bed opposite the door will make the person sleeping feel disturbed. Therefore, the bed position should be designed to ensure that others passing through the door cannot see the activities inside the bedroom.

4. Do not place the bed under a beam or other structural member.

In the interior, the bed plays a very important role. This is the place to rest and regenerate energy for the homeowner. Therefore, the bed is a detail that needs special attention when designing.

In addition to not placing the bed under a window or facing the door, the bed should also avoid beams, beams or structural bars. Placing a beam straight down on the bed creates a feeling of suffocation and discomfort when a person lies down and looks up.

5. Avoid placing the kitchen in the center of the house

The kitchen is a frequently used area, however, the kitchen should not be placed in the center of the house. Because if the kitchen is in the center, the surrounding areas will be affected by the sound and smell of food during the cooking process.

In addition, according to feng shui, placing the kitchen in the center of the house will create an imbalance, bringing bad energy to family members.
