People will tend to agree that simplicity is bliss and would yearn for it. Conversely, this may not apply when it comes to the perception of Fengshui. Most tends to gauge the quantity; number of items a Fengshui practitioner assess when he or she visits a property as a judgment of quality, from location of toilet bowl, colors of furniture and fittings to location of every electrical items etc.

As a result, most Fengshui practitioners' time during his or her audit is spent on assessing the interior of the client’s house. Though such perception from the client’s point of view is understandable, this should not be the case for a Fengshui practitioner.

Quantity and Quality is not unattainable. But Quantity is not about assessing every item or area in the property, but on understanding and recognizing the key factors of Auspicious or Inauspicious that will influence the property and the occupants, and the major key factors are often from the exterior of the property rather than the interior.  With the key factors identified, Quality is about assessing the impact/ influences from the factors and their appropriate solutions, considered in totality.

Q: Should I use a round or rectangle shape dining table?

A: One should follow his or her preferences or the suggestions from one’s interior designer

Q: I was told a certain color is suitable for me, as such, should I consider that color for the walls, furniture and/ or bed?

A:  A professional interior designer’s suggestions on the colors and shapes for the property’s furniture and fittings are not without basis, considering even the personality of the occupants. Obviously, one do not expect the extreme, for example, the entire walls and furniture to be either Red, Black or Pink etc...

Q: But they (Interior Designers) do not know Fengshui

A: Having identified the key factors influencing the property, the Auspicious, Inauspicious and Events are already known

Q: Can I send you a copy of my property’s floorplan for assessment?

A: One cannot based solely on the floorplan for a Fengshui assessment of the property and influences on the occupants. Whether the property is Auspicious or Inauspicious is not dependent on the interior layout. Furthermore, one may be wrong in his or her assessment if based solely on the floorplan.

Below is the room of a client’s son. Based on the room Fengshui, son is clever but narrow minded, has frequent mood swings, strong-willed and difficulties in disciplining the child.

If one were to base solely on the floorplan below, the assessment will be different and wrong.

It is also important to understand that assessment based solely on floorplan cannot determine the Auspicious or Inauspicious (吉凶) of the property, and will also be incomplete.

On the other hand, for the above room, what do you think is an effective and simple solution?

一般人会认为简单就是幸福，也渴望幸福简单的生活方式。不过，对于风水，简单对很多人就并不是一件好事了。因很多人都以一个地理师到了自家时所评估的数量来衡量地理师的品质，从厕所马桶的位置、内墙和家具的颜色到每样电器的摆设等。因此，一个地理师往往较多的时间都在评估某宅的内局。虽然从客户的角度来看，他们有这样的想法是可以理解的，不过身为地理师，这是不应该的。

数量兼品质并非达不到。不过数量不是在于评估宅第内的每样东西、地方，而是在了解和认出影响宅第和宅主的吉凶关键因素。而这些因素多以外局为主，后总体考虑、评估关键因素的影响和适当的解决方法。

问：桌子应该用圆形还是方形的呢？

答：如有请室内设计师，应该听他的意见。

问：曾经有人说我适合某颜色，那么是否墙壁，家具或床铺都宜有那颜色呢？

答：形和色的搭配，一个专业的设计师的意见不是没根据的。甚至有一些能以宅主的个性来配合。显然，我们不期望极端，例如墙壁和家具都一片红、黑或粉红等。。。

问：可是他们不懂风水。

答：抓到阳宅的关键因素，吉凶已知。

问：是否能将自家的平面图让您看，以分析风水的影响？

答：单从自家的平面图是不能评估风水对宅第和宅主的影响。一个宅第的主要旺衰、吉凶不是来自宅内的因素。又，单单从自家的平面图断也易误断。

以上是一位客户儿子的房间。以房间格局的风水来说，儿子虽聪明，不过想的不远，自私，情绪起伏较多，好胜好强而难管教。

如果单从平面图来看是会判断错的！而也要明白的是，单从蓝图是不能判断宅第的吉凶，也是不完整的。

又，以上的房间，您认为有效而简单的解决方案会是什么呢？
