Wait, There's a Type of Japanese Feng Shui? This Is How 'Fusui' Is Different and the Lessons to Learn From It

A bright living area with wood sliding doors, a black chair, a black wavy bench, a standing floor lamp, and a set of mats with black trim.

All Japan-inspired homes tend to feel calm the moment you set foot inside. From the palette to the textures, and even the flow of the space, it's somewhat of a cozy embrace that cocoons you from the world outside. This is where the Japanese iteration of Feng Shui, 'Fusui', comes in.

Similar to Japanese design principles, Fusui, at its core, is about creating a home that feels balanced and harmonious. Concepts like maintaining a tidy entryway, prioritizing 'water zones', considering ventilation, and purifying your space with intention are the pillars of Fusui.
