In Feng shui, the bagua corrects the orientation of an edifice or a village and is supposed to enhance the quality of life of people living in it. The bagua is placed in such a way that it creates a mapping of the house where corners are determined whereby the occupants harmonizes with these zones for particular activities. To make this bedroom fit for the one who exerts the greatest influence in the household, careful considerations are placed. Examples are: The direction of the bedroom in relation to the general house design, its sector from the point of the compass, and its shape. The position of the bed, the colors that are and should be employed including the decorations that are most appropriate. Feng shui mirrors should be employed whenever appropriate. There are two opposing line of thoughts regarding a Feng shui mirror. Mainly it lies between whether a Feng shui mirror is a cure or not. For people that contend that it is a cure, they believe that illuminating the house evenly is important in managing the chi.

The bright hall effect means that the house has a wide and open area fronting it or a frontage where there is a space of land before the house. Arranging the classroom according to what the quadrants in the octagon in the bagua indicates will improve the results that you want to achieve in it. There are occasions though that you cannot arrive at an open position in the classroom that is in accordance with your bagua map. This may be due to the limitation of space, the basic design and structure and the positioning of the classroom.
