First of all, for economic reasons, people often buy small apartments or affordable housing. In order to expand the practical area of the house, the balcony was rebuilt and the living room was moved out, so that the balcony became a part of the living room. In this way, the living room will become more spacious and bright. Teacher Zhong Sheng suggested that we should pay attention to ensuring the structural safety of the building and conform to the geomantic omen.
1. Avoid sudden rise.
Sudden feeling and neutral feeling do not conform to the principle of Zhouyi. Therefore, we must do a certain degree of treatment to make it both beautiful and not depressing. A better solution is to fill in the fake ceiling and cover it up cleverly. If you want to enhance the effect, you can also place spotlights or fluorescent lamps on the ceiling of the balcony for lighting, which can avoid the shadow of light, make people unable to see clearly and have hazy beauty.
Step 2 avoid rootless trees
After the balcony is transformed into a living room, its external wall should not be too short. Some people like to use floor-to-ceiling glass as the exterior wall, thinking that this way, they can see the exterior at a glance. I don't know this situation, just like a tree without roots, empty and unreal. If the balcony is originally a French window glass and it is difficult to make changes, then the most effective remedy is to put a long low cabinet in front of the French window glass as a substitute for the low wall. If the short cabinet is too short, plants can be placed on both sides to fill the space, which is beautiful and environmentally friendly, and also conforms to the Book of Changes.
3. Avoid shifting the center of gravity outward.
Because the balcony is generally a vain part that protrudes from the room and can't bear gravity. Therefore, when converting into a living room, we must be careful and follow certain load-bearing principles. Otherwise, it not only threatens the structural safety of the whole room, but also is not conducive to the feng shui of the balcony, which makes the originally relaxed balcony bear too much weight and embarrassment and destroys the original gas field of the balcony. Don't use too heavy decoration materials when the living room and balcony are unified. Some people like to use marble to lay the floor of the living room, which is understandable, but if the balcony is also paved with marble, I am afraid it will be unbearable. After the balcony is rebuilt, it is most appropriate to put lighter items there, which will not affect the safety, but also keep the original balcony empty and fresh.
In a word, transforming the balcony into a living room will never happen overnight. It must be carefully planned and designed, which not only meets the needs of life, but also has the charm of traditional culture and conforms to building safety.
Second, because the balcony is open, most of them are separated by a glass door, so the balcony is more directly affected by the external "suffocation". Therefore, compared with other spaces, Teacher Zhong Sheng thinks that balconies should follow certain geomantic principles.
1. The balcony should not face the sky.
The so-called heavenly killing means that there is a narrow gap between two tall buildings, because it is like cutting it in half from the air with a knife, so it is called heavenly killing, and there are often bloody disasters.
The balcony should not face the street.
If you look out from the balcony and see a street rushing straight ahead, it's like a tiger coming at you, and the main family is ruined. This is a fierce pattern in geomantic omen. Because of the increasing number of vehicles, fast-moving vehicles and noisy pedestrians on the straight road will produce continuous interference waves, which will constantly impact the residents through the balcony, disturb the quiet magnetic field of life, and have an impact on the quiet atmosphere of residents, which is very unfavorable to their health.
3. Balcony should not face sharp corners.
In China's traditional concept, he always liked circles, but he was so sensitive to sharp corners that he avoided them. Feng shui also has the saying that "sharp corners are not good for the master", because this will lead to anxiety at home and often get sick. If the sharp corner in front of the balcony is washed, we must find a way to resolve it. Common sharp corners are those of adjacent buildings. The sharper these sharp corners are, the more fierce they are, and the closer they are, the more dangerous they are.
4. Balcony should not face tortuous buildings.
Now some European-style houses have large bay windows in order to increase indoor space and lighting, so the external walls are easy to form sharp corners and look like a row of sharp serrations.
5. The balcony should not face the archway.
The streets of this city are crooked and straight. If you look out from the balcony, you can see that the street in front of the house is curved, and the corner goes straight to the balcony, which is similar to a crossbow opening into the house. This is the pattern of "street to bow". It can be used as a flower stand to plant vines or potted plants to isolate them from the outside world.
6. Don't face the door on the balcony.
Due to the limitations of modern urban housing, doors and balconies are generally opposite in the residential structure. How to solve this problem? If the balcony is facing the door or kitchen, curtains can be pulled for a long time as isolation. It can also be used as a porch cabinet, between the gate and the balcony, and a fish tank is placed at the entrance of the gate. Potted plants and vines can be planted.
7. Don't point the balcony at the kitchen.
This is the so-called "heart-piercing", which will weaken the function of family reunion, make it easy for husbands to cheat, make wives cheat, and make children dislike going home. The curtain of the balcony landing door should be pulled as far as possible or on the moving line between the balcony and the kitchen. Should be based on the principle of not affecting the actions of residents, with cabinets or screens to cover. In short, the balcony should not be directly connected to the kitchen.
8. Balcony should not be hollowed out
Nowadays, many buildings like to use hollow balconies to express ventilation and lighting, emphasizing the so-called European style. This kind of situation is actually the same as the balcony made of French windows, which is a taboo of Feng Shui's "void below the knee". When they are outdoors, it is easy to see indoor people below the knee, which will lead to money leakage and a thin population. This is the essence of Feng Shui. Therefore, if your knees are exposed, try to avoid them.
How to melt the balcony layout
1. The balcony faces the sky-a pair of copper turtles can be placed on both sides of the balcony to dissolve the sky;
2. Balcony facing the street, sharp corners, jagged buildings and anti-arched roads-must be solved with copper turtles;
3. The balcony opposite is "fire evil spirit", (such as chimney, red high-rise building, oil depot)-it is appropriate to use stone turtles to dissolve it. In order to strengthen the effect of exorcism, you can put a bottle of water between two stone turtles.
Third, the balcony is a place that everyone usually ignores, and the feng shui layout of the balcony should not be underestimated. The following teacher Zhong Sheng will introduce three beneficial aspects of balcony feng shui layout:
1. The balcony should face south or east.
Relative to the importance of the balcony, the orientation of the balcony can not be ignored. Some balconies are very comfortable because of their good orientation, wide vision and good lighting and ventilation. Therefore, they are full of vitality and make people feel comfortable in harmony with nature. Generally speaking, the balcony feng shui should face east or south.
The balcony faces east. As the old saying goes, "Purple gas comes from the east". The so-called "purple gas" is the auspicious gas. The auspicious spirit enters the house through the balcony, and the main house is auspicious and safe. Moreover, at sunrise in the east, the sun can shine into the balcony in the early morning, and the whole house looks bright and warm, and the whole family is in high spirits.
As for the balcony facing south, there is a saying that "the smoke comes from the south". "Smoky wind" is pleasant and intoxicating, and it is also excellent in Feng Shui. Now houses with balconies facing southeast are generally more expensive, indicating that everyone knows that balconies facing south or east are excellent "Feng Shui" huxing.
If the balcony faces north, the biggest disadvantage is that the cold air enters the room in winter, which will affect people's mood. In addition, if the equipment is insufficient, it is easy to make people sick.
The balcony facing west is even more inappropriate. Every day the sun sets in the west, and the heat still cannot dissipate at night, which will affect the health of the whole family.
Of course, the feng shui of the balcony orientation is not only related to the external orientation, but also related to the orientation of the balcony in the house.
2. Plants should be placed on the balcony, which has the function of geomantic omen:
The plants suitable for placing on the balcony with the function of flourishing feng shui are as follows:
Rodea
The trunk is thick, the leaves are thick, the color is green and the vitality is strong. The big leaves of evergreen trees spread out like thick palms, which has a strong effect on home feng shui. Therefore, the bigger the evergreen leaves, the better. Keep them green and evergreen.
Qian Qian tree
The scientific name is gorgeous, the leaves are round and plump, easy to grow and full of vitality. It absorbs the gold from the outside world and is very beneficial to the family's wealth.
Palm lady
Its stems are thick and its leaves are narrow and long. It is named for its palm-like trunk and bamboo-like leaves. Brown bamboo is planted on the balcony to ensure the safety of the house.
Generally speaking, balcony plants that play a positive role in feng shui are tall and stout, and the thicker the leaves, the greener the better. For example, evergreen, cash cow, cycad, brown bamboo and rich tree mentioned above are typical examples.
3. The balcony layout should be refreshing.
Balcony is a space to communicate with nature. Keep it clean and tidy, and don't pile up sundries. You can do some decoration and beautification on the balcony side wall and ground, such as installing some charming decorations on the side wall or doing some waterscape decoration, which is also very fresh and pleasant; Planting flowers and plants on the balcony creates a small garden space and adds natural scenery to the home. If life balcony is close to the kitchen, you can also use the corner of the balcony to build a locker to store some vegetables, food or unusual items. The balcony is used for rest and dining, and a small amount of folding furniture can also be placed.
