Interior Design With Feng Shui

by Sarah Rossbach

A centuries-old Chinese practice, feng shui has captured the Western imagination as a tool for design and well-being. In this classic book, complete with helpful drawings and photographs, Sarah Rossbach shows how anyone can apply its principles to enhance their careers, family life, health, and prosperity. Rossbach interprets the teachings of feng shui master Lin Yun for contemporary Westerners, offering practical methods for achieving harmony with one's environment. Focusing on common problems in business and residential settings, she discusses everything from the site of a building to furniture arrangement to wall decoration. In a chapter new to this edition, she explains how to choose colors that satisfy individual needs and preferences. Rossbach's easy-to-execute advice includes such simple steps as moving a microwave oven, repositioning a desk, and hanging mirrors to alleviate negative influences.

Interior Design with Feng Shui is a feng shui classic, drawn from interviews and lectures of Master Lin Yun. This reference has many good drawings that clarify the basic concepts of feng shui.

Decent informational guide

[Katharine]

This was recommended and I picked it up from the library, but found it harder to just flip through than the Western Guide... so I didn't end up looking through it yet. Maybe in the future. It definitely seems more in-depth and for when I'm more committed.

A look at ancient feng shui traditions and philosophies. I found the book somewhat challenging; however, there is always something you can learn and this was no exception.

Interesting, but not the most practical. Nice base for knowledge of Feng Shui

A real textbook style book. Includes directions for applying fixes which seem a bit much.
