You know, as an asian, feng shui plays a big part when it comes to renovating the home.
We had some feng shui no no in our home. And some of the ways to fix this no nos is to find something that will block or prevent the item from being seen or felt in the home.
One of these no nos is the direct door to door facing of two doors. One way to cancel out this negative is to get something to block the two doors from "seeing" each other.
So when we were going about our renovations, we had a hard time seeking the right divider to block the doors.
Getting a custom made one would be too expensive.
Going about to shop for one, well, no matter how nice they were, there is always something about it that prevented us from buying. From the measurements that are in correct to the price being too high.
So we continued our efforts to try and find the right item to try and cancel the negative in our home. What we found was this: http://gnmblog.blogspot.com
They were a god sent!
Lots of pattern to choose from. And the best part of it, no need to nail, drill or hammer anything to the door frame to put them up.
So after we got ourselves a set of them, we were very happy with the results.
Soon after we moved into the home, we found that the door curtains has many other uses too.
For one, the pretty pictures on the curtains, can be used as a wall ornament by itself. We got the Japanese one that fitted with our Zen theme perfectly.
Then I had some open bookshelves that my wife simply hate to see due to all the clutter I had on it. So I got me another nice, chinese wording one to put over the shelves to sort of cover my clutter.
I am sure if you take a look at the product, you will be able to find much more uses for it than I do.
Do you take the time and effort to do you your home with door curtains?
Will you spend money to buy a pretty door curtain to spruce up your place?
How bout feng shui? DO you believe in them enough to want to get one to dispel a negative?

YEah, asians are very particular about fengshui, and for my parents as well ^_^ Though they are not very superstitous, but they still believe in it, some way or so ^_^ If u are saying, facing of 2 doors together is a big no no, then i will have a big problem.. haha =D
As my room is facing my parents room directly, and when we are sleeping with our aircons on, we will be close the doors and there, they will be facing each other.. lol =D PLus, in between our rooms, there's a storeroom too, and if i were to open that door as well, i will have 3 doors facing each other.. lol =D BUt luckily, my parents dun really care about that as it's not the main door facing outside.. hehe =D But we do have pinepapples ornaments at home, as well as bamboo plants, as other small small little things that i dunno what they are for.. haha

Well, I know that two bedroom doors facing each other is in evitable when you are living in an apartment.
The feng Shui saying has it that doors that face each other are like people facing off with each other. Adversity will occur between the occupants of these two rooms.
Same goes for houses where the main door faces each other.
So one way to negate this is to keep the door closed.
Or alternatively get a door curtain to block the doors so that they are not 'seeing' each other.
So, to err on the side of caution, I got one curtain for each of my room.
They are very pretty. Also, the additional semi-see thru feature of the curtain adds a little more privacy to the room as well. So without the door closed, you still get a certain degree of privacy. Very nice indeed.
Interested in getting one for yourself?
