Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of arranging spaces to promote balance and harmony, can be a brilliant way to guide your decorating ideas. If you're struggling on where to place furniture or how to arrange your floorplan, the rules of Feng Shui often decide for you. But these configurations become far more difficult when dealing with small apartments.
Finessing Feng Shui can be difficult enough in large homes. The practice has particular rules around the direction furniture should face, its relation to doorways and windows, and how it interacts with other surrounding features. Achieving this balance in a small apartment — where space is already at a premium — is no mean feat (and harder still if you're renting).
