Best Time for Feng Shui Consultation - House Hunting & Pre-Renovation

Assuming you just submitted your BTO application. Knowing Feng Shui, you and your spouse hope to engage a Feng Shui Master for consultation. However, you are still deciding when to engage a personalised Feng Shui consultation. Confused? Do look on as we explore the few key best timings for Feng Shui Consultation.

Understanding the importance of personalized Feng Shui Consultation is vital to maximizing the potential of your home. Few understand that not all apartments are created equal, and some are better than others. There are also some situations where a stack is better despite having different floor plans.

When is the Best Time for a Feng Shui Service?

There are two primary points in time when Feng Shui services can make the most significant impact on your BTO flat:

1. House Hunting Feng Shui

2. Pre-Renovation Feng Shui

Each of these moments presents a unique opportunity to optimize your home's energy, setting you up for success as you embark on your home ownership journey.

1. House Hunting Feng Shui: The Best Time for Feng Shui Service

The best time for Feng Shui service is before you even purchase or select your new apartment. Be it BTO flat selection or balloting for a new condo project, the term for choosing a house with an ideal Feng Shui is called House Hunting. This stage may seem like an obvious choice, but many people need to pay more attention to the benefits of assessing the Feng Shui of a property before they sign on the dotted line. You can choose a home that aligns with your Ba Zi and long-term goals by integrating House Hunting Feng Shui principles.

One should be mindful that not all house's Feng Shui is equal. Sometimes, the same apartment may be ideal for you but may not be that suitable for someone else. That being said, house hunting Feng Shui is a highly personalized service that helps you select an apartment that suits and fits you and your family. This is even true for apartments within the same project having the same floor plan but varying directional facing.

Why House Hunting Feng Shui is Crucial

House hunting is a critical phase where a Feng Shui expert can provide invaluable insights to ensure your potential home will support your personal and family goals. A professional Feng Shui consultant will evaluate several essential aspects of the house, such as:

Property Orientation: The direction your BTO flat/New apartment faces is essential to Feng Shui. Combining this with other critical details of the occupants may have varying results. Considering that you are unlikely to amend this directional facing (unless you are purchasing a landed property), selecting the most favourable direction is one of the most considerable benefits that house hunting feng shui service brings.

External Environment may affects your house Feng Shui

External Environment: Surrounding elements such as nearby roads, parks, bodies of water, or even other buildings can have a direct impact on the energy flow around your home. Although development masterplan blueprints might have slight changes from time to time, it is more often than not that new homeowners, be it BTO, resale, or condominium project launches, will have some clue on its nearby developments. By examining upcoming plans and the project's existing external environment, a Feng Shui Master who specialise in house hunting can help identify the best stack or projects to avoid altogether. For example, flats near a T-junction or facing a sharp corner may attract negative Sha Qi (harmful energy).

Floor Layout: Assuming the property's Orientation is favourable, and its external environment is excellent. The next most important aspect will be the floor plan of the apartment. There might be some variations regarding floor plans (usually, there are more variations for condominium projects). Before committing to a property, a Feng Shui professional will evaluate the floor plan to identify the pros and cons of each variation. A well-designed layout promotes harmony, while poorly planned layouts could disrupt the flow of Qi. An example will be an odd-shaped floor plan with large missing corners or protruding segments. This may have a considerable impact on the House Feng Shui.

Engaging in Feng Shui services early during the house hunting process empowers you to make an informed decision on a property regarding characteristics that are difficult to alter after purchasing it. If one can ensure that the fixed characteristics of an apartment, such as Orientation, external environment, and floor plan, are optimal, we are confident that the battle is half won. Considering this, this optimal starting point will likely support your long-term Feng Shui goals and enhance your quality of life.

2. Pre-Renovation Feng Shui: The Second Best Time for Feng Shui Service

The second best time to schedule a Feng Shui service is before starting your renovation. Once you've secured your new flat, it's time to personalize the space to suit your needs. This is when Renovation Feng Shui plays a vital role in ensuring that the space supports your aspirations.

Why Renovation Feng Shui is Essential

Renovation is a significant opportunity to align your home's energy with your needs. Since you are altering the physical structure of the space, you want to ensure that every change supports positive energy flow and avoids causing undesired effects from a Feng Shui perspective. A Feng Shui consultation before any renovation works can guide you on:

Room Layout and Flow of Energy: The placement of furniture, the design of rooms (including hacking of walls or creating partitions), and the flow between spaces are all critical to a harmonious environment. For example, Feng Shui advises placing your bed in the command position—away from doors and with a clear view of the entrance to ensure restful sleep and to encourage career advancement. There will also be instances where some spaces are kept free of any furnishings; thus, it will be essential to avoid building any permanent fittings in these areas. Having guidance from a Feng Shui Master will allow occupants to fully amplify promising sectors of the house while avoiding the bad ones.

Colors and Materials: The Feng Shui elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water) should be balanced in each room according to their function. A Feng Shui consultant can help you select the right colors, materials, and finishes that harmonize with your personal energy and the room's purpose. By identifying the different elements in each sector, Feng Shui Master can recommend suitable colour schemes and appropriate materials for their apartment. There will also be instances to combine this with Ba Zi or Flying Star Analysis, depending on the suitability and judgment of your Feng Shui Master.

Minimizing Negative Energy: Renovations allow correcting energy imbalances that could negatively affect your life. Feng Shui experts can advise avoiding harmful energy sources like mirrors facing the bed or sharp corners pointing toward seating areas. In other cases, the position of drainage holes, sinks, and stoves may negatively impact your home Feng Shui. Although not all of these may be rectified through renovations (such as beams, pillars, or door placement), pre-renovation Feng Shui Consultation still offers occupants a chance to minimize undesired Feng Shui effects.

By consulting a Feng Shui expert before your renovation begins, you can improve and alter certain aspects of your new home, which may be difficult for existing homeowners to amend. You may then include these requirements during your consultation with your interior designers.
