More Fun with Bad Feng Shui

It’s been awhile since I posted about the truly bad Feng Shui to be found in design magazines. Here are a few great examples I found over the weekend.

First up, a “conversation nook” in the corner of an otherwise beautifully-designed home. Ouch!!

Next is an example of far too much Wood in a room that’s dominated by an open hearth: it appears as if this entire room might go up in flames at any moment.

The simple addition of darker, richer colors and perhaps some “Watery” artwork is all that’s needed to balance this dessicated scene.

Finally, here are two examples of kitchens in need of a new color scheme. Because of the heat of the stove, kitchens are naturally Fire-y places and need to be balanced with other elements, especially Earth, which drains Fire of some of its intensity.

Hot reds exacerbate the feeling of flammability in these kitchens: if you’re getting ready to paint yours, be sure to go easy on the intensity.

Do you have photos of bad Feng Shui that you’d like to share? Send them along to be featured in future blog posts.
