A Feng Shui consultant advises on the best floor plan and layout options to maximise the energy in a property.  Sometimes a few minor changes can have a dramatic impact on the Feng Shui and wellbeing of the occupants.

An important aspect of a Feng Shui consultation is the identification of the wealth sector.  The wealth sector is unique in every property, and is best located in an open and active space such as the main entrance or open plan living area.  Having the wealth sector located in a confined room or bathroom can have a negative influence on finances.

If the wealth sector is in a practical location, a water feature or swimming pool will be recommended to activate prosperity.  Water features have a powerful influence in Feng Shui, as they amplify the energy of a space, regardless of whether it's positive or negative.  The correct placement of a water feature is critical in Feng Shui.

The best time to seek Feng Shui advice is at the planning stages of building design or at the time of property purchase.  Feng Shui helps property developers and investors make the most of their properties and create harmonious homes that feel good and support the happiness, health and prosperity of the people living there.
