___________________________________________ In an increasingly
cramped world, a modern guide to opening up your living space - and
your life - using the ancient principles of feng shui. How do you
place a bed in an awkward room? How can your space help you be more
focused and more productive? How do you set up your room to make
you ready for romantic love? Our homes have an outsized impact on
our wellbeing, so answering these questions is more important than
ever. Luckily, interior design expert and TikTok sensation Cliff
Tan is here to help! Cliff has become an internet sensation with
his videos demonstrating the principles of feng shui from chi
(energy) to the command position - and he has put his wisdom into a
book for the first time. In Feng Shui Modern, Cliff explains the
concepts of feng shui and then uses expert tips and practical
diagrams to show - room by room - how our own styles, colour
palettes and furniture can be used to maximise any environment.
More importantly, Cliff gives you the tools to apply feng shui
yourself, whether you live in a dorm or a five-bedroom house. As
long as you understand the logic, there is no room too challenging,
no problem feng shui can't unravel. From choosing a home to
redecorating old rooms, Feng Shui Modern helps us find harmony in
the every facet of our lives - beginning with where we live them.
