1. Three Feng Shui Tips for Balconies

1. It is better for the balcony to face east or south.

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 look 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 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.
