How To Find the Center of an Odd-Shaped House

The center of the room in feng shui, or the bagua, as it is traditionally known, represents the heart of the household around which the rest of the home should be designed. Ideally, a room should be perfectly symmetrical, according to feng shui; if your room is not symmetrical then -- according to the tradition of feng shui -- it will produce less positive energy, but you can still locate the center and decorate around it.

Instructions

1. • 1

     Draw a floor plan for the main floor of the house, illustrating all the exterior walls.

   • 2

     Draw the smallest rectangle possible around the outside of the current shape, with the extremities of the floor plan touching the rectangle but never going beyond it.

   • 3

     Draw a line from one corner to the opposite corner.

   • 4

     Draw a line between the two remaining corners.

   • 5

     Circle the intersection of the two lines; this indicates the center of the house.
