*** Don't despair if you find your layout clashing with good FengShui.  Many times, simple and inexpensive solutions are available, and sometimes, your "Life Destiny" influence is stronger than any FengShui mistakes you might encounter. ***

Doors 

1.  Doors should open inwards to allow beneficial Qi ()to enter the house.

2.  Glass doors.  Glass represents the 'Water' () element.  It is best for main doors facing North (), which is also the 'Water' direction.  

3.  Neutral colors for doors are the safest bet to not clash with the five elements.  

4.  Bedroom doors should not face the kitchen or bathroom.

5.  When entering the front door of a house, you should not be able to see the knobs on the stove/range.  

6.  Staircases should not be directly in front of the main door.  

7.  The toilet bowl itself should not be facing the bathroom door directly.

8.  Bedroom doors should not face each other (conflicts between the occupants).

9.  The main door of a house should not face the main door of your neighbor across the street.

10.  Look for sharp corners of buildings pointing at the main door of your house.  You can hang a BaGua (八卦) mirror to resolve this. 

11.  The front door should not have a unrestricted path straight to the back door or balcony.

12.  The front door should not have a tree or lamp post right in front of it.

13.  The front door should not face a hill (unless it is far away).

Kitchens

1.  The sink and/or refrigerator (both 'Water' elements) should not be opposite the stove/range ('Fire' 火  element).

2.  The sink and refrigerator should be at least 12 inches from the stove/range.  Some masters recommend 18 inches, some 2 feet).

3.  When not in use, make sure the water faucet is not pointing towards the stove/range.

4.  Do not locate the stove under an exposed support beam.  This can be remedied if you don't have a choice without major remodeling.

Living and Dining Rooms

1.  Well-lit, preferably with natural lighting.

2.  Don't place mirrors on the ceiling of the living room.

3.  Cover up all exposed ceiling beams if possible.  Otherwise you will have to employ the 3 big nails method, or 2 wooden or bamboo flutes , or the gourd 葫蘆 method.

4.  The living room should be at the same level as the rest of the house, or at the lowest level of the house if that is not possible.

5.  The dining room should not be under the stairs.

6.  The dining table should not have sharp corners (圓圓滿滿).

Bathroom

1.  The bathroom should not be next to the main door, or above it on the second level.

2.  Avoid having a bathroom in the middle of the house.  

3.  The toilet bowl should not face a major road.

Staircases

3.  Should not directly lead to a bathroom or bedroom.

Clocks

1.  Should not be hung over a door.

Bedrooms

1.  Beds should not be under an exposed beam.  

2.  Beds should not be in the straight line path of the bedroom door.

3.  Avoid having sharp corners from furniture pointing at the bed.

4.  Avoid mirrors (and dull reflective surfaces like a TV monitor screen) facing the bed.  Cover them when not in use.

5.  Avoid sleeping above the kitchen or garage.  This might be unavoidable in today's newer houses, where the interest of space necessitate building rooms over the garage.  As long as the main breadwinner(s) for the family doesn't live in that bedroom, things should be fine.

6.  Avoid having aquariums and paintings with water sceneries in the bedroom.

7.  The bed should be placed against a wall (solid backing).

8.  The bed should not face the toilet door.

Miscellaneous

1.  Planting trees behind a house gives it a strong "back" 後有靠山, that helps if you don't already have a hill at the back of your house.  This back is the position of the Tortoise.  The left of your house is your Green Dragon position.  It would be alright if it were at the same level or higher than your house.  The right side of your house is the White Tiger position and should be lower, quiet and peaceful.  A slow flowing river or a water fountain, in the front of the house is ideal.  

2.  A plot of land should have a front that is not larger than the rear.  It symbolizes the accumulation of wealth.

3.  A house in the shape of a square is the most ideal.  Rectangles and L-shaped houses are also acceptable.  Missing corners should be remedied to create a "full" and regular shape.
