Applying Feng Shui Principles to Interior Design

Abstract

The main goal of interior design besides creating a beautiful residential building is to establish a comfortable, happy environment for people, allowing space for the ease of movement. This goal corresponds with the Feng Shui principles that aim at establishing comfort and happiness by creating a balance between the five elements (earth, water, fire, wood, and metal) with an effort to reduce negative energy and establish positive energy in an environment. Due to the importance and benefits of applying the Feng Shui principles in interior design, this research sheds light on its definition, components and school of thought.
