Feng shui is the ancient Chinese practice of placement and arrangement of space to achieve harmony with the environment. The literal translation is 'wind and water'. Feng shui is not a decorating style. Rather, it is a discipline whose guidelines are compatible with many different decorating styles. For a place to have good feng shui is for it to be in harmony with nature, to have bad feng shui is to be incongruous with nature. People aren't usually described as having good or bad feng shui themselves. It is believed that certain people by force of personality or visual appearance are able to add or subtract from the feng shui of their surroundings.
