1. Ms Pang says fengshui is a science and not about superstition. “Instead of buying items that supposedly bring luck and placing them around the home, home owners should also display items that are visually pleasing and give you a positive feel,” she says.

For example, the large metallic-coloured abstract painting in her living room is an instant talking point because of its size and the colours instantly draw the eyes to it.

It fits in with her home’s modern contemporary theme as well.

2. You need not have a luopan to find the good fengshui points in your home. “A conventional compass will do too,” she says.

Have a floor plan of your home ready to mark out the locations. The south-west and south-east directions are good. She suggests placing water features in these two locations in the home.

3. If you have plants in the house, try not to get those with spiky leaves.

Pick plants that are leafy and have round-shaped leaves. Outdoors, plants with spiky leaves can be placed at bad locations to suppress sha qi. The bamboo, which signifies long life, is a good plant to have, she says. So are the jade plant and the desert rose (fu gui hua).
