What is Feng Shui Anyways?

Our post last week prompted spirited conversation, and several questions about what the heck feng shui is anyways?

As your helpful neighborhood furniture and general home question experts (whew! that was a mouthful)-- we're dedicated to sharing this info with you, whenever we ask. In fact, some may say that we like to geek out whenever we're asked a furniture or home renovation question. We won't argue with that. It just speaks to the passion and continued interest that every member of the Decibel Designs team exhibits.

So. Feng Shui. By straight up Google definition: (in Chinese thought) A system of laws considered to govern spatial arrangement and orientation in relation to the flow of energy (qi), and whose favorable or unfavorable effects are taken into account when siting and designing buildings.

Don't you just feel zen reading that? A lot of thought and time has gone into feng shui and the benefits that it can provide for spaces. It can be as intense as you'd like or as simple as rethinking the way that your rooms are organized. Personally? We think you'll garner the most gi (pronounced chi) by placing your Decibel products firmly in the center of the room. It's just good energy, you know? Here are list of books that we recommend checking out if you're interested in learning more about the art of feng shui:
