Divider or Partition
The Living Room or Dining Hall Divider (Partition)
1. Does every home need a room divider (partition)?
From a Feng Shui point of view, not every home necessarily needs a divider. If in doubt check with your Feng Shui Master.
2. Usually a divider may be recommended (if) the main entrance door opens directly towards an OPEN window on the opposite side. Here, this is symbolic of qi (wealth) leak.
3. Especially for those who had purchased a full featured home such as a condominium; should be wise enough to check if it is necessary or not to have a divider. One reason is because, there are no major scope of work needed for such a new home. And, perhaps cannot totally blame the Interior Decorator (ID). As they may usually end up recommending, that we spent money say on a divider, mirrors e.g. on the dining table wall, false ceiling etc... Just ponder over this, whenever we hear the advise of our ID.
