There are several past resources on this subject.
Here is one:-

Some persons can sleep soundly even with mirrors and reflective glass on wardrobe cabinets.
Sometimes it takes just one or two persons such as relatives and friends to comment that it is no good and we may feel uneasy after that. If one is such a person, then, simply avoid having the mirror.QuoteOn 12/15/2010 10:10:42 PM, Anonymous wrote:

1. Frankly, you have already said it.
2. Some things are out of one's control.
3. Given also that this is not your own home, as I have always mentioned:-
http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Concept_of_Maximizing_Marks
4. You may have to look elsewhere to maximize other forms of luck. Given the limited information, if you are considering D.I.Y. then, you need to do as much research as possible.QuoteOn 12/15/2010 3:20:33 AM, Anonymous wrote:

1. At position E, no the shoe cabinet is not an issue. Neither is the maid's toilet.
2. This is also commonsense. The location at E is already a better one. It is not like your home is large or what.
3. With a small apartment, frankly, what more do you want? A shoe cabinet that is miles away and the maid's toilet that is also miles away?
4. Have to be realistic. You are staying in a small apartment. For example, walk a few steps and it is your dining. Walk a few more steps is your living room.
5. Thus you have live within your expectations. On the side, just imagine, if there is or for the gods or Guan Yin, they will sure to understand.QuoteOn 12/12/2010 5:07:36 PM, Anonymous wrote:

For example, usually for marking in

so,
it is not desirable for an altar to

is
not auspicious to have the altar

Specially tailor a niche at "A"
(store)
for the altar may be a
consideration. So

shoe
cabinet at "A", an altar (MAY) be at

the
kitchen. A better alternative is to
place the altar at marking "E".
Here,
the entire store cum area has to be
"modified" and the altar placed at
"E".6. Usually the 2nd choice after
this
is marking C or D. But, because of
the
layout of the apartment, this is
usually
where your TV set is; then it is not
auspicious to have the altar beside
a TV
set.7. Thus if forced to
choose a
location such as "C" or "D"; the no
choice is to have it at "D". Again,
not
the best.8. the consideration is
either
"G" or F". Here, there are still
landed
homes (no choice) where the altar
face
the dining table - especially for
"G".
So long as the alter is of
auspicious
height such as around 49 3/4 inches,
this is perfectly fine or common.9.
The
majordisadvantage of altar
sitting
facing the bedrooms is that often
the
"GOD's should- guard the home"
and
not peer into our lives.For
example if the altar is placed at
"F" or
"G", it is not nice to have them
looking
at couples having intimate
relationship
and changing
clothersetc...10.
Furthermore, "G" would most likely
be
directly facing theTV set. So
does
"F","G" and "H".11.The
last
resort was "F". Butagain, the
drawback is that it would
facein
green "Y".12. Avoid placing
thealtar at "H" looking into
themaster bedroom!13. In
conclusion, the better position is
of
course between marking A and B =
E.And make sure the altar is
at an
auspicious height of 49 3/4 inches
high.
So that it will also "over-look" the
dining table.P.S.
Alternatively,
if there is a permanent unused
bedroom,
an altar can be placed next to the
window... In Singapore, this is
highly
unlikely... given that bedrooms are
premium spaces for a family member
to
dwell or as a study room.Note: The
suggestion(s) are meant only for a
regular Chinese altar: If it is the
ancestor altar, other location such
as
the kitchen may have to be re-looked
at.
This suggestion does not apply to

These are some of the considerations:-
1. A partition need not necessarily be "air-tight". Many acceptable partitions have see through design.
2. Often it is considered not to use reflective glass facing the main door for two reasons:-
2.1. Symbolically, if the glass is highly reflective and facing the main door; one may inadvertently "reflect one's weath" out of the main door.
2.2. For some, when opening the door, one can see one's reflection (shadow) on the partition and some may think that there is "someone" in the apartment.
2.3. Often, some may use sand-blasted or opaque film at the main door side. While the inner side can still be a reflective surface.
3. For asthetic reasons, usually the partition should roughly be at least as high as the door frame. Often, it need not be full height as some want some light to flow from the ceiling area towards main door area.
4. Usually the partition should cover all the width of the door. For example if the door has only one leaf, then it is best to have the door cover the entire door. If the door has two leafs: 1 big door and a smaller side panel, then covering the 1 big (main) door is good enough.
5. Based on Feng Shui ruler dimensions, usually most partitions should be approximately 42 inches. While some others can be 49 3/4 inches.
6. Although from the floor to the height of the partition frame can be made Feng Shui ruler friendly, but often this is less of an importance.QuoteOn 12/12/2010 5:45:42 PM, Anonymous wrote:

These are some of the murals etched into the marble slabs on the wall of the temple....

1. Hey!, this is not exactly the auspicious "Dragon-gate" Feng Shui!
2. Literally, this home places a dragon-holding a pearl; placed on one of the pillars of the gate.
3. At least, even if it is highly uncommon for a home to have a dragon figurine "guarding" the gate; at least it is only a single piece. As a dragon represents the male. While the phoenix represents the female form.
4. As mentioned, it is very rare for people to place such a figurine on their main gate pillar facing outwards. This is the very first time I came across such any activity.
5. Usually, instead, such a figurine is common only in a temple where a pair of dragons is often found on the main roof of a temple. And both the dragons will be looking at a single pearl.... -

Sorry the photo is blur. But can you see the outline of the "moon" gate at the entrance of the home?
This "moon" gate arch is supported by the two gate pillars of the home.QuoteOn 12/6/2001 7:41:00 AM, Anonymous wrote:
Dear Angela,
In my opinion, a half-circle
building or dome shaped
building falls under a `metal
building'.
In Feng Shui, one often find
some older buildings with a
`moon gate' i.e. a
semi-circular gate (literally
the same shape as your dome
building).
Such a metal element building
is relatively neutral or
particularly good if it is
surrounded by narrow objects
or even other buildings that
are narrow. This is where,
this dome shaped building
(Metal element) is useful to
destroy wood (narrow objects).
This type of building is
particularly good or
beneficial if it is surrounded
at any side by tall trees.
Again, metal (dome) helps to
destroy wood.
In some countries, dome shaped
building is or was popular ith
the army (symbolic of metal
element). Such an arch shape
is also favoured by some
arhictects as it frees the
inner hall of columns or beams
due to the support provided by
the arch (dome shape).
As for the placement of the
bed and study, it would depend
very much with the orientation
of your building and the
lighting that goes into the
building or room. Where
possible, the study should be
close to open lighting or
natural light. And the
location depends on country
(hemisphere) and direction.
For example, it would not be
advisable to place the study
table facing the west
(especially the heat or
distraction coming from the
afternoon sun).
As you have not mentioned the
size of the room, for such a
room, it would depend on your
studying habits e.g. do you
prefer to sit and study at the
study table or prefer to lie
on the bed. Your study habits
such as do you use the room
more for rest or study or
both. If you merely use the
room more for rest such as you
study more frequently at the
library or open area.
Overall, try to make your room
as comfortable and to your
personal liking is much better
than trying to `fit in' thru
any advise.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Sumita,Quote1. In Feng Shui, contrary to
what one may think, this
semi-circular (concept/idea)
is based on the " Bright Hall
- Ming Tang ".
2. Somewhere, in this website,
I had several pictures of a
semi-circular water feature
radiating outwards.
3. This feature is placed at
the frontage of the building.
4. Because of this feature
i.e. which provides a clear
space; akin of a bird flying
freely at the frontage.
5. If we have clear space, the
natural `impact' is that the
hall will be `bright'.
Do search in this forum or the
Picture Tour or Picture
resources for " The Hyatt "
hotel photos. I had a sample
of this, feature.
6. However, the steps is
another issue. But, what I had
mentioned under Para 1 to 5 is
to give a flavour of the
similar idea of a
semi-circular steps (radiating
outwards).
7. Attached please see a
picture resource of this type
of steps.
8. This type of semi-circular
steps is considered a
`protective' stance.
9. In the past, I had also
posted my sketch of a
semi-circular mat (with
spikes) radiating outwards.
This is often placed outside
the front door entrance. And
is the "near" equivalent of a
Ba Gua mirror.
10. This is not Feng Shui:-
However, in general, this type
of semi-circular steps
radiating outwards can be
unfriendly to the old or aged
to walk up. Even for adults
and children, if the steps are
steep and short, one has to be
extra careful when walking up
or down this steps.
Warmest Regards
Cecil
