How to pay attention to balcony feng shui

1. For economic reasons, people often buy small or affordable houses. In order to expand the practical area of ​​​​the house, they will remodel the balcony and move the living room outward to make the balcony become the living room. part, so that the living room will become more spacious and bright. Teacher Shengzhong suggested that when doing this, attention must be paid to ensuring the structural safety of the building and in compliance with Feng Shui principles.

1. Avoid sudden rises

Abrupt feelings and neutral feelings are not in line with the principles of Zhouyi. Therefore, it must be treated to a certain extent to make it beautiful but not oppressive. A better solution is to fill it with a false ceiling and cover it up cleverly. If you want to enhance the effect, you can also place spotlights or fluorescent lamps on the ceiling of the balcony to illuminate it, hiding it from the shadow of the light, making it difficult for people to see clearly, and giving it a hazy beauty.

2. Avoid rootless wood

After the balcony is converted into a living room, its exterior wall should not be too short. Some people like to use floor-to-ceiling glass as the exterior wall, thinking that this way, there will be no obstruction when viewing the exterior scenery. Little do they know that this situation is like a tree without roots, empty but not real. If the balcony is originally made of floor-to-ceiling glass and is difficult to modify, then the most effective way to make up for it is to place a long low cabinet in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass as a substitute for the low wall. If the low cabinet is too short, plants can be placed on both sides to fill the space. This is both beautiful and environmentally friendly and in line with the principles of the Book of Changes.

3. Avoid shifting the center of gravity outward

Since the balcony is generally a floating part that protrudes outside the living room, it cannot withstand gravity. Therefore, when converting it into a living room, you must carefully measure it and follow certain load-bearing principles. Otherwise, it will not only threaten the structural safety of the entire room, but also be detrimental to the feng shui of the balcony, making the originally relaxing and comfortable balcony carry too much heaviness and embarrassment, destroying the original aura of the balcony. When remodeling the living room and balcony, do not use too heavy decorative materials. For example: Some people like to use marble to pave the floor of the living room, which is understandable. However, if the balcony is also paved with marble, I am afraid the balcony will not be able to bear it. After the balcony is remodeled, it is most appropriate to place lighter items there, which does not affect safety while maintaining the original openness and freshness of the balcony.

In short, converting a balcony into a living room is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It requires careful planning and careful design, which not only meets the needs of life, has the charm of traditional culture, and is consistent with building safety.

2. Because balconies are open and mostly separated by a glass door, the balcony is more directly affected by the "evil energy" from the outside world. Therefore, compared with other spaces, Teacher Shengzhong believes that the balcony It is also necessary to follow certain Feng Shui principles.

1. The balcony should not face the Sky Slash

The so-called Sky Slash refers to a narrow gap between two tall buildings, because it is like cutting it from mid-air with a knife. There are two halves, so it is called the Heavenly Killing Evil, which often causes bloody disasters.

2. The balcony should not face the street.

If you look out from the balcony and see the street in front of you, like a tiger charging towards you, your home will be ruined. A very unlucky pattern in Feng Shui. Because of the increasing number of vehicles, fast-moving vehicles and noisy pedestrians on the road will generate continuous interference waves, which will continue to impact the residents through the balconies, disrupt the peaceful life magnetic field, and have an impact on the quiet atmosphere of the residents, which is very unfavorable. Resident health.

3. The balcony should not face sharp corners

In traditional Chinese concepts, people always like to be round, and they are particularly sensitive to sharp corners and avoid them. There is also a saying in Feng Shui that "pointed corners are unlucky" because this will cause uneasiness in the home and frequent illnesses. If there is a sharp angle in front of the balcony, you must try to resolve it. Most of the common sharp corners are the sharp corners of neighboring buildings. The sharper the sharp corners, the more dangerous they are. The closer they are, the more dangerous they are.

4. The balcony should not face the zigzag-shaped building

Nowadays, some European-style houses have large bay windows in order to increase the indoor space and light and let in the wind, so the exterior walls are easy to It is easy to form sharp corners and look like a row of sharp saw teeth.

5. The balcony should not face the curved road

The streets in the city are curved and straight. If you look out from the balcony, you will see that the street in front of the house is curved, and the corners go straight to the balcony. , similar to a crossbow aimed at a house, this is the pattern of "street back bow". You can use it as a flower stand filled with creeping plants or place potted plants to isolate it from the outside.

6. The balcony should not face the door

Due to the limitations of modern urban residences, in the residential layout, the door and the balcony are generally facing each other. How to solve this problem? ? If the balcony faces the door or kitchen, you can keep the curtains closed for a long time as an isolation. You can also make a porch cabinet to block the gap between the door and the balcony, and place a fish tank at the entrance of the door. Potted plants and climbing plants can be planted.

7. The balcony should not face the kitchen

This is a so-called "crossing the heart", which will weaken the family reunion function, make the husband easy to have an affair, and the wife will have an affair. , children don’t like to go home. The curtains on the balcony floor-to-ceiling doors should be closed as much as possible or on the moving line between the balcony and the kitchen. On the principle of not affecting the residents' movements, use cabinets or screens as cover. In short, do not let the balcony directly lead to the kitchen.

8. Balconies should not be hollowed out

Nowadays, many properties like to use hollowed-out balconies to show ventilation and lighting, and to emphasize the so-called European style. In fact, this situation is the same as using floor-to-ceiling glass as a balcony. It violates the taboo of "void below the knees" in Feng Shui. When they are outdoors, they can easily see below the knees of people indoors. This pattern will lead to Money is leaking out and the population is thin. Reality below, emptiness above, is the essence of Feng Shui. Therefore, if the knee is exposed, it should be avoided as much as possible.

How to dispel evil spirits by arranging the balcony

1. The balcony faces the evil spirits of heaven---a pair of copper turtles can be placed on both sides of the balcony to eliminate the evil spirits of heaven;

2. The balcony facing the street, sharp corners, zigzag buildings, and curved roads---must be resolved with copper turtles;

3. The opposite side of the balcony is a "fire" "Evil" (such as chimneys, red high-rise buildings, oil depots) --- should be resolved with stone turtles. In order to enhance the effect of eliminating evil spirits, a bottle of water can be placed between the two stone turtles.

3. The balcony is a place that everyone usually overlooks. The feng shui layout of the balcony should not be underestimated. Below, Teacher Shengzhong will introduce three beneficial aspects of the balcony Feng Shui layout:

1. The balcony orientation is preferably facing the south or east

Compared with the importance of the balcony, the balcony’s The orientation cannot be ignored. The reason why some balconies make people feel comfortable and comfortable is precisely because of their good orientation, wide field of vision, and good lighting and ventilation. Therefore, they are full of life and vitality, giving people a sense of comfort in harmony with nature. Generally speaking, it is better for the balcony to face the east or south.

The balcony faces the east, as the old saying goes, "Purple air comes from the east." The so-called "purple energy" refers to the auspicious energy. The auspicious energy enters the house through the balcony, bringing good fortune and peace to the family. Moreover, since the sun rises in the east, the sun can shine into the balcony early in the morning, making the whole house appear bright and warm, and the family members will be in good spirits.

As for the balcony facing the south, there is a saying that "the wind comes from the south". The "wind" is warm and pleasant, intoxicating, and it is also excellent in Feng Shui. Nowadays, houses with balconies facing the southeast are generally more expensive. This shows that everyone knows that units with balconies facing south or east are excellent "feng shui" units.

If the balcony faces the north, the biggest disadvantage is that the cold wind entering the room in winter will affect people's mood. In addition, if the heating equipment is insufficient, it is very easy to make people sick.

It is even more inappropriate to have a balcony facing the west. It will be exposed to the slanting sun every day, and the heat will not dissipate even at night, which will affect the health of the whole family.

Of course, the feng shui of the balcony orientation is not only related to the external orientation, but also related to the orientation of the balcony in the house.

2. It is appropriate to place plants on the balcony that have the effect of promoting prosperity in Feng Shui:

The plants that are suitable to be placed on the balcony and have the effect of promoting prosperity in Feng Shui include the following: Species:

Dieffenbachia

Money tree

The scientific name is Yanzi. Its leaves are round and thick and plump. It is easy to grow and has strong vitality. It absorbs gold energy from the outside and is extremely beneficial to the family's wealth.

Palm Bamboo

Its trunk is thicker and its leaves are narrow and long. It is named because the trunk is like a palm and the leaves are like bamboo. Planting Palm Bamboo on the balcony can ensure the safety of the house.

Generally speaking, balcony plants that have a prosperous effect in Feng Shui are tall and sturdy. The thicker and greener the leaves, the better. For example, the above-mentioned Dieffenbachia, Money Tree, Brazilian Iron Tree, Palm Bamboo and money tree are typical examples.

3. The balcony layout should be refreshing and refreshing

The balcony is a space for communicating with nature. It should be kept clean and tidy and should not be piled with debris.

Plant flowers and plants on the balcony to create a small garden space and add to the home. Natural scenery. If it is a living balcony close to the kitchen, you can also use a corner of the balcony to build a locker to store some vegetables, food or items that are not frequently used.
