Feng Shui For The Dining RoomPartners are those who share the bread: the act of sharing a meal always involves a celebration that strengthens the bonds of intimacy, affection and trust. Seated at a table, the distances are shorter, their heads leaning almost touching, the fingers touch. The dining room should be a place devoted exclusively to food and strengthening family ties and affection, so the entire environment should be directed to this objective.

The dining area must provide sufficient privacy and security. This seat must be “supported” on walls without windows, if this is not possible, the windows must be provided with suitable curtains. When you want someone feel important, give the head of the table or at least one area of branch (sector of the room farthest from the door.)

For dinner leftovers removed chairs: as a rule, there should be no more than two empty chairs. There should be a light directly above the table on time illuminating the center of it. The light attracts and generates a focus that fosters communication.

The need for privacy requires that there be real or virtual separation of the dining room in other rooms of the house. It is important to be separated from the kitchen to the person responsible for cooking in a family group, eating in the kitchen is equivalent to the situation of the employee having lunch at your desk.

The shape of the table can be interpreted in accordance with the Five Elements:

  1. Square: corresponds to the element Earth, brings stability and a conservative lifestyle.
  2. Rectangular: corresponds to the element Wood. The rectangular table set hierarchies as there will be two capitals, more important than the rest. The diner who sits farthest from the door occupies the position of more power and often the most influential member of the family.
  3. Round: corresponds to the element Metal. Archetypal symbolizes equality and fraternity.

As for colors, as important as the colors of the place are the colors of utensils and linens:

  1. The colors derived from orange peach and salmon integrate and promote communication. Use them when you get a group of people who are still not well understood.
  2. The color red stimulates the appetite.
  3. The green color creates a casual atmosphere, fun and fellowship. Use it to your friends.
  4. The blue inhibits appetite, use it if you want to lose weight!
  5. The purple color indicates a special event; use it for intimate dinners and anniversaries.
  6. The white color indicates the protocol and formality.

Avoiding the dining room:
* That the table becomes a deposit of various objects.
* That the lighting is too intense.
* Very cold floor coverings
