The dining area of our home is where we nourish ourselves and interact with family members and friends. It also has an important effect on our health, as we eat and digest our food there. I will offer several easy ways to improve feng shui in your dining room:

The first is to eat some of your meals with wooden chopsticks, as wood encourages growth and the symbolism of “two” (as in two chopsticks) creates good relations with another person. The second way is to use red in your dining room’s color scheme. You don’t need to make everything red, just have it in a few places. Try a vase with red flowers, a red place mat, use red bowls or plates or just a red decorative piece on a wall.The Chinese consider red to be the luckiest of all colors and believe it promotes prosperity and good fortune. Lastly, you should consider placing a live plant (a bonsai tree is a great choice) somewhere in or near your dining room. The Chinese believe it will attract money into your life and that each time you water it, you reinforce your desire to improve your finances. Try one or all of these three simple tips and let us know how they work for you.
