When I refer to shapes, I mean the shape of the layout of the entire house as well as the shape of individual rooms and the walls inside each room.

It is always preferable to opt for a regular symmetrical shape. In feng shui terms anything that is irregular or asymmetrical always indicates that something is missing or is incomplete. So a full square is always a better shape than a narrow version of one. A full circle is always better than a half circle, and for this reason bay windows are seldom encouraged as good feng shui. Small irregularities in the corners of rooms are equally discouraged. The Pa Kua (or eight-sided shape), the diagnostic tool used in feng shui, is also considered a very auspicious shape especially when it is used for dining and coffee tables.

The Pa Kua-shaped dining table is superb for a family with three generations living together. You can allocate the chairs according to each person’s best directions.

Square-shaped dining tables are excellent for a small family. The shape suggests perfect balance and grounded symmetry creating easy, harmonious relationships.
