Feng Shui and the Family room?

Question

My family is moving into a raised bungalo and we are trying to figure out where to place the family room. I have tried to do some reading on the net, but there isn't much. Should we put the family room on the ground floor or the second floor. On the second floor is where our bedrooms and kitchen are..

Answer 1

The family room as the name implies is for those who are 'close' to the family to gather.. Nowadays, everything is practical.. and whatever you wants to do and as long as you are comfortable, any arrangements should be fine..

You may want to use this simple function logic of 'private, semi-private to public' space to locate your rooms or areas..

I'd have thought that kitchens are usually where activities are and should be place away from the bedrooms where one retires for a good rest..

Now, like any other professional, fengshui practitioners, make a living through practice of the mystic which takes a lifetime to learn..and that's the reason why you are unable to obtain an answer from the net...

As far as I know, there are many 'elements' to consider due to the dynamic nature of man in relation to his environment and the fengshui master could only make his best possible recommendations that would give you the best possible 'path'.. don't forget, you have your family members to consider too...

My advice is to engage the services of 2, one local and one from a different place (should vary slightly).  After all, what is a few more 'dollars' (for the peace of mind) after paying so much for the house...just like you would spend some money to 'renovate' even though the house has just been completed..

Oh yes!..when you 'engage' them, seek with a 'open mind'...

Answer 2

If you want to apply Feng Shui to your new bungalow, you should apply the 8 Mansions method or the Flying Stars method, as they are the most accurate.

If your family room is to be used a lot, be sure to have it in a favorable sector of the house. You'll find all the theory about both methods here:
