Feng Shui Remedies: The Shape of a HomeIf Your Home's Upper Floors Are Wider Than The Lower Floors Like a marshmallow supported by toothpicks, a structure with upper floors broader than those below feels off balance and precarious. This configuration does not provide the visual support required to feel safe. Plant bushes or trees or install lighting around the upper floor's perimeter, thereby lending strength to the lower floors.
Distance, be it vertical or horizontal, can divide. It has been determined that a person will walk at most 1,500 feet to reach a neighborhood park. Any facility located farther away will be used infrequently. Inside a home there are stretches that feel right. More than four levels in a home can become awkward, and more than sixty feet in any direction may be considered too far. My cousin in San Diego lived in a modern home that hung on a mountainside. Even today, when trying to reconstruct the home in my mind, I can't come up with the number of levels. Life for her was as fragmented as her home, and marriage and her son splintered off in as many directions as the levels of the home. When she met her second husband, they quickly moved to a house that was planted firmly on the ground, and her children and marriage have been rock-solid ever since. Cluster important rooms toward the heart of a home. Tie together the divergent areas with a connecting color theme or similar flooring or window treatments. There is something comforting and uniting in repetitive decorative schemes. Related Articles
