There are so many types of house layout, so how do you choose one with good Feng Shui? If you are not sure, the rule of thumb is to just choose one without any missing sector in the layout (缺角) and here is the reason.
In the ancient time, the Chinese is very particular in the “completeness” of a house because it symbolize positive chi and it will enhance the wealth luck and bring good fortune, so a square house layout is the best of all. That is why the ancient palace is always designed in a squarish outline. If the layout is not complete, it can cause negative vibe in the house and affect the occupant luck.
But in the modern era, it has been a norm to see houses with missing sectors and this will cause bad Feng Shui. So now you should take out your floor plan and see if you house has any missing sector.
If you split your floor plan and visualize in a ba gua format, you will discover that each sector in the bagua is the direction and also represent each family member. So lets see which sector belong to who.
