Aquarium
An aquarium in the feng shui living room can be a source of enjoyment and relaxation. You can sit back and watch as another world comes to life right before your eyes. But did you know that if you placed a fish tank or aquarium in the south east of your living room you will attract wealth and abundance in your home. Its best to have a square or rectangular shape aquarium in the south east. However if you prefer a round one then you should place it in the north.

Clock
The humble clock, when incorporated creatively, can be elevated to centerpiece status in a room. A unique oversized clock serves as an art. A small wall clock gains importance when surrounded by a larger picture frame. If you have a clock with a pendulum place it in the north west of the living room. That will bring you good travel luck and help from mentors, friends and heaven. Do not place a clock near a dining table.

Use Water Cures
Any water image is an excellent feng shui for wealth energizer, just be sure the water is clear and moving. So, images of a fast flowing river or a waterfall, for example, are better feng shui for wealth cures than the images of a quiet lake or a pond.

Keep your toilet lid down
Why? It’s like inviting a sewer into your home. There's nothing inviting about an open toilet. A traditional feng shui perspective on this is that the toilet is a drain, and by leaving it open you allow good energy (and money) to literally drain out of your home.

Fix what's broken
Broken things have no place in your home. Everyone I know would be upset about a broken car, but they have broken door handles, broken appliances and all sorts of broken architecture everywhere in their living environment. Your space is a mirror of you. Don’t let it stay broken!

Create high energy
Bring higher feng shui energy to support you in your clutter clearing efforts. For example, having great music, fresh air, a sense of beauty in the space will start diminishing the low effects of clutter, as in the world of energy everything is in constant motion. Be aware how much easier it is to deal with the low energy of your clutter when you are surrounded by higher energy.

Beautify the space outside the door
Replace any burned out lights with brighter wattage. Wipe down the front door and its hardware. Buy a new doormat, or shake out the one you currently use. Strive to keep this space clean and approachable. And if you can do nothing else, sweep. It’s a simple ritual that maintains pleasing space and calls forth marvelous energy.

Produce Great Sound
Use your stereo to play your favourite music or song and maximise its sound effect to the highest level possible (Devotional music or songs are recommended for this specific purpose). Big sounds are believed to scare away evil influences. Even if you can do it for some minutes - that's okay.

The shape of your dining table
Round dining room tables symbolize heavenly blessings, and should have an even number of chairs around them (even numbers being a sign of good luck). And never have only one chair, as that’s a clear-cut symbol of loneliness.

Just create good space
The goal of Feng Shui is to create a thoroughly nurturing environment for you and your family. It can never adequately do that if you’re surrounded by things with bad memories attached, or that don’t vitalize you. In Feng Shui we learn that the things in our environment either nurture us or deplete our energy. There is no middle ground.
