A building vibrates and pulsates with energy which is invisible to our eyes but imbalance of energies affect thought, speech and actions which in turn influences the relationship luck. Adapting the right décor, color and layout through techniques of Feng Shui and Vaastu does help in activating good chi (energy) which empowers the relationship, love and marriage aspirations of the individual.

In Feng Shui, the symbolism of what we see has a strong influence on our mind hence its preferred that ensure that the bedroom says “peace and romance” in some way in its decor.

Some of the simple yet practical tips one could follow to enhance relationship and love luck are:
• Place the bed in a location that gives you clear sight of the door.
• Use soft lampshades so that the light in the bedroom is not harsh and powerful but subdued and calming.
• Ensure that bed is supported by a solid wall behind it.
• Avoid exposed overhead beams and shiny surfaces like mirrors in bedroom.

Candles create a pleasant ambiance and good decorating style hence scented candles are often great Feng Shui enhancers due to the mood-enhancing qualities certain fragrance possess. Placing fragrant candles at Southwest sectors of the home in colors of red, pink, lilac and yellow are harbingers of good relationship, happiness and joy.

In ancient China, symbol of fish was always included as one of the items in the betrothal gifts given to the parents of the bride. A pair of fish was symbolic of the joys of union and the fish emblem was believed to be a charm against bad luck.
