Feng shui master Andrew Kwan shares where to place lucky elements and colours in your living space for an auspicious Year of the Snake.

The way we design the energy flow in our home or office, based on the contour or landform of where we live or work, has long been believed to influence the flow of energy entering our property. This concept is rooted in ancient Chinese Feng Shui,

“A home should feel balanced and full of life. To achieve this, I incorporate the five elements of Feng Shui: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Each of these elements helps bring harmony and well-being. For example, plants like the jade tree or money tree represent wood, symbolizing growth and prosperity.
