The decoration of a reading room with Feng Shui requires a number of special considerations to achieve harmony and mental development that allows us to feel at ease. For Feng Shui, books generate energy that can be negative when it accumulates, for this reason, libraries should not be left behind who is reading or working. Can not be avoided it is advisable to install a door or a partition between the library and the individual.

Another element that we cherish is the energy level of electrical wiring, for distorting the energy, to avoid this phenomenon, hide the wires.

The other major factor which must be the health care, which prevents the energy emanating from the pond and libraries are sick. The shape of the library must be square or rectangular to bring good luck. If I had another way, we must place custom-made to change the shape of the room.

It is essential to keep the area clean and neat always leave a mess or avoiding coffee cups or dishes. If we have a desk in the library, we must place it so that it is dominating the space and facing the door, to watch everything that enters or leaves.

The lighting in the library Feng Shui:

Lighting is a very sensitive issue in a library, which should allow comfortable reading in all areas of the room. The light must be strong enough for easy reading, but not enough to cause eyestrain. Reflexes should also be avoided. Natural light must come from one side to reduce shadows.

A window at the desk guarantees a powerful light and comfortable. The library or bookstore should have enough space for our books in a very loose, so that does not accumulate negative energy. The bookends are made of wood, metal or stone, representing the element (earth). They must also register large wax candles, representing the fire element. The order in the library is essential, but is hampered by issues such as size and type of books, which tend to make chaos. It is advisable to alternate groups of books with books placed vertically placed horizontally. The holes that are left between a set and another create a feeling of lightness that prevents visual saturation. We can add some pictures, standing on the backs of books, or supported in their caps. It creates an interesting effect, the combination of framed photos, along with others without a frame. We can also put various objects such as vases, miniatures, jewelry and toys in front of books.

You can add plants or flowers to enhance the positive influence, but must be very healthy to be positive. Every corner of furniture or column forming an angle of 45 degrees with where we sit is a threat (invisible poison arrow or sword). The columns are lined with mirrors or a prism can be placed to soften the angle, we can also lining it with fabric and plants.

Feng Shui Furniture:

The shape, materials and location of the furniture is of great significance in Feng Shui; it can help or hinder the flow of energy (chi). The furniture should be preferably of wood, with rounded tips to avoid cutting chi. Among the forces of prosperity and abundance, you must also place an object and a gold plated metal.

The paintings and sculptures that could be placed in the library should raise the spirit, so that all art should avoid disturbing, sad or dark.

A Staircase is a structure created to unite spaces at different levels. It consists of three key elements, steps or stairs, rest, and rail. Each step consists of a fingerprint, rather than to support the foot, and a riser, riser plane.

One type of stairs is the spiral staircase. Spiral staircase is built around a central vertical pillar which serves as the hub for the propeller that forms the sequence of steps.

How to design a spiral staircase:

One way to design the spiral staircase is that the width of the trace, plus twice the riser height is equal to the length of a human step; of around 65cm. It is desirable that the rail has a bar for each step for added security.

The spiral stairs can be constructed in various materials such as wood, metal, stainless steel, aluminum, concrete, stone, or combination of wood and metal, metal and glass, concrete and metal. They can be installed in either direction. You can count on a rest platform and have anti-skid coating materials. They are composed of steps, a central pillar and railing. When combined, it will have a cap that holds each step. The wedge-shaped treads arranged in a fan.

The beginning of the stairs is called boot. The end of the stairway is a horizontal plane called plateau. The horizontal planes are in the middle of the staircase landings or rest is called. To avoid fatigue, the number of steps is limited to thirteen or fifteen. If you need more, it will include a landing. The staircase can be internal or external, that concerning its location on the building.

The staircase is located within an area called the box, formed by the rail. The housing may be circular or square, may have no case. In this case, step out of the pillar (turnip) central cantilever. Its width should be appropriate to use it is put.

There are many ways to illuminate the different rooms of a house, but only a few are suitable, both in the type of lamp (bulb) and by the same fixture.

The lamp is essential for the result you want to obtain, depending very much on the role of stay and the use you want to give the lamp.

To give a warm and welcoming incandescent lamps are used as the radiation emitted are within the red spectrum, but if we create an environment in which the main function will work, as offices and study areas , it seems useful to a fluorescent light or in general any cold light.

The lamp plays a crucial role because they can be of materials, colors and shapes and of course the situation is very important (ceiling, table, wall or floor).

There are many designs, classical, modern, minimalist and some so spectacular that even become real sculptures. There are natural materials such as wood or paper, synthetic such as polypropylene and surprisingly from recycled materials.

The way the incident light is essential, not the same general light that is suitable for walkways, a spotlight that used to obtain a greater illumination at points where you need specifically.

Ultimately it is important to think about all these issues before buying a lamp.

The creation of a new world in one room can be somewhat challenging to do, especially if it’s a small room. The room should have space for all activities and be a stand where you can be comfortable and be creative in your own world.

There are certain techniques that will help in achieving this goal.

To create a world of fantasy in a child’s room, it is important to take into account what the child wants. A child who loves to be in scenes such as in the Atlantic and dreams of being under the sea (like in the movies), these things will give you the idea of a room conditioned to them light blue water with artistic designs.

The lights covered with cellophane of water in different colors can also be very creative.

It is important to keep the area tidy to maximize the functionality of the room. But make sure you have everything properly installed to ensure that child safety is paramount.

Recycling is a good practice, but reuse is even better and it also trains the imagination. A good example is the empty glass bottles. Its okay throw the glass container and also a good idea to use them to keep other foods. But they also have a decorative function, such as vases to decorate the home or garden with lovely flowers.

Wine bottles also serve as vases. Of course, the flowers of which are containers must be others, of course. A large and showy flowers, for example, some hydrangeas. With about six bottles of wine and a box of wood or fruit can make a country under very original and decorative, for the garden and the terrace.
