Dining room fengshui

Ideal positions for dining room is east = lively atmosphere; southeast = best for conversation; west = great for newly weds & singles to catch up for wedding / romance; northwest = formal serious entertainers

altogether avoid northeast at any cost for there is no relaxing meal.

don't locate dining area within site of the entry way ie while opening a main door of the house looking in to the dining space. it can cause a loss of wealth, if visible upon entering the door then add a decorative screen.

floor = natural wood floor is the best.
flexible lighting ; candles mean warm vibrant energy.

furniture = easy to clean surface, preerably wood.
soft wood like elm, pine = everyday family meals.
hard wood like oak, mahogany & teak = formal dinner party
glass / marble material = stimulating & edgy atmosphere.

shapes = round & square table yang energy.
oval & rectangle table gentle energy relaxing dinner

an oval shape is recommended for best to add more chair & people very welcoming.
square & rectangle limit persons & more directional.

a dining room is a exception of rule in fengshui which always tells to leave the center of room vacant where here the dinig will occupy center of the room.

Choose the table that fits the room area & gives a walking space arround. Too much heavy, dark & old furniture in to a too small space creates a heavy, dark feeling while blocking the free flow of chi - energy. If the dining room has a door then that should not open too close to the chairs.


Avoid any sharp corners facing the guests.


Limit the accessories. A miror on the wall or sideboard reflecting the table enhances energy produced by the food.

A crystal chandeliar over the center of the table is ideal. no clocks, calendars in this area which stops pressure on the meal.

using a table cloth rather than a single placemat is great bring closeness among the diners.

No TV in dining hall, dining should be calm & peaceful.

colors= warm soothing colors like soft yellow, peach, beige
more colors that can be used as decor are red & yellow are perfect for stimulating & digestion. light blue, ever green & lavendar are choices. if appetite has no sink with stimulation use pink, coral, pale lemon & mustard. Never use orange in dining except to drive away your guest.

The host is always seated at the head of the table, never sit with their back to the door.

always have even number of chairs in the dining.

carpet adds soothing texture & absorbs sound.

don't eat with the dead... that means don't add any photos or sad pictures or urn of ashes of loved ones / deceased members fo the family in the dining area.

don't eat with animals / birds/ reptiles / fishes either live or pictures or decor.

Display the good china ware or silverware in the table because it is the wealth room. add a mirror to reflect double the silver articles eventually it will double the wealth.
