Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese practice rooted in harmonising energy (Qi) within a space, has long guided homeowners in creating balance, prosperity, and well-being. In modern Singapore, where high-rise HDB flats, condos, and landed properties are packed into limited land space, applying Feng Shui principles can make a noticeable difference in how your home feels and functions.
Part 1: Why Feng Shui Still Matters Today
Although it dates back thousands of years, Feng Shui remains relevant because it focuses on spatial flow, light, ventilation, and emotional balance—concepts that overlap with modern interior design. Many Singaporeans consult Feng Shui masters before renovations or major purchases to optimise good fortune and minimise negative energy.
Part 2: Main Door Feng Shui
The main door, also known as the "mouth of Qi," is where energy enters the home. A strong Feng Shui main entrance should:
Be well-lit and clutter-free.
Open smoothly without obstruction.
Avoid direct alignment with a back door or window to prevent energy from flowing straight out.
Feature solid, secure construction. In HDB units, mild steel gates and fire-rated laminate main doors offer both security and good energy retention.
Cherry and brown are popular door colours for attracting prosperity, depending on your element.
Part 3: Feng Shui-Friendly Gate Designs
Some homeowners choose gates with traditional symbols such as:
Double Happiness (四喜): Used for promoting harmony in marriage.
Bagua (八卦): Used for protection against negative energy.
Infinity Knot or Five Blessings: For continuous prosperity and health.
Ho Ho offers mild steel and wrought iron gates incorporating these Feng Shui elements, such as HH801 (Four Blessings), HH803 (Five Blessings), and HH828 (Bagua).
Part 4: Feng Shui Tips for Interior Spaces
Mirrors: Avoid placing mirrors directly facing the main door—they deflect incoming positive energy.
Kitchen and Toilet Placement: Ideally, avoid placing these directly opposite the main entrance.
Bed Position: Ensure beds are not aligned with doors and have solid headboards.
Plants: Use living plants to boost Qi in corners or dimly lit areas.
Part 5: Small Feng Shui Fixes with Big Impact
Use crystals or water features in the wealth corner (southeast) of your home.
Hang a Bagua mirror outside the door if the unit faces a T-junction.
Keep the stove, fridge, and sink in a harmonious triangular layout in the kitchen.
Conclusion: Blending Feng Shui and Practical Design
Feng Shui doesn’t mean compromising on aesthetics or modernity. With thoughtful planning, homeowners can enjoy both good energy and stylish spaces. Whether it’s choosing the right gate design or placing furniture strategically, small changes can have a powerful effect.
