Outdoor Feng Shui
Outdoor Feng Shui is primarily about blocking negative energy (views and noise) to protect the house and then guiding positive energy (feelings) into the yard. This is done by creating a landscape design with soft flowing lines that meander through the yard and incorporate all elements of nature.
- Water and water features are used to mask harsh sounds.
- Plant material enriches all four seasons with colour, vitality, and movement.
- Light, essential for life, brings safety but also creates ambiance around a fireplace or using candles or a garden light system.
- Stone is important to ground a yard and give a design substance. Using stone as a patio or as pots brings a luxurious strength to the yard.
- Metal in the form of fencing, cast iron pots, statuary, etc. gives the yard those finishing touches. Accent pieces here and there (not too much that you create clutter) create whimsy and tell the visitor that this yard is your home.
