Feng shui · by room
The good tablecloth is still folded in the sideboard drawer, and it would take you a moment to name the last meal anyone actually ate at that table. The dining room is one of the most under-attended rooms in modern homes. People moved their dinners to the sofa or the kitchen island, and the dining room sits empty most of the week. The feng shui move is usually to bring it back to life with a few small choices.
None of these need a compass, a Kua number, new furniture, or money. Pick one. Do it before bed.
Command position at the dining table. The traditional reading is about respect for the elder; the modern reading is the same one we use for the bed and the desk. People who sit facing the door eat more relaxed meals.
The traditional reading is that mirrors double the food (abundance). The modern reading is that a mirror makes a small dining room read as larger and the meal as longer. Either way it is one of the most consistent dining-room cures.
The room cannot do its work if it is never used. Pick one weekly meal. The slow accumulation of small rituals is the actual feng shui mechanism.
