There are plenty of feng shui advice on the internet telling you what you should do. Here is some advice on what NOT to do regarding feng shui.
Do not place a mirror adjacent to the front door inside your house.
Good chi energy that streams into your home will just be deflected back out. Avoid this if possible.
Don’t place your bed directly in front of the bedroom door.
You will not get good sleep with chi coming through the door and directly into your path.
Do not sleep or place your bed underneath a red carpet or a red rug.
You will either suffer from poor health or easily get sick. Absolutely avoid this at all costs.
Do not paint the baby room yellow.
You will not get much sleep because your baby will not get much sleep. Paint it blue or pink, but remember to not use yellow in the bedroom.
Do not neglect a spare room in the house.
You will not gain the full benefits of positive chi energy if you have even one room that you are neglecting, like a dirty unorganized storage room. Make sure every room in your house is kept tidy and organized.
I hope you find the advice helpful.
Love, Shelly.
