Interior Design with Feng Shui by Sarah Rossbach

Harmony in the home has a lot to do with the placement of furniture and objects, the layout of the rooms and the surrounding neighbourhood. The idea is to free the chi, the energy, so that your life will be enriched and free of stress and blockages. Tips included here include how to prevent your fortune from flushing down the toilet, how to avoid walking in the previous owners footsteps, how to prevent burglars from robbing you with mystic means, how best to seat yourself in an office so that you don't get fired, and other strategies for success. She gives clear examples and there are some very good before and after Feng Shui photos included as well.

I once worked in an office where I was the person seated closest to the door - I was always the last person to arrive in the morning, the first person to leave at night. That door kept pulling me away from my desk. Later I moved to a different office, seated facing a window with my back to the room and sure enough, many things started to go on behind my back. Reading Rossbach's book reinforces intuitive feelings you have had and gives you a concrete structure to work with towards improving your spaces, both mental and physical. She's written more books on the subject since - reviews to follow once I've read them.
