Feng = wind
Shui = water

These are two elements symbolizing movement, life, and change.

Feng Shui – History and Popularity

Feng shui has been an integral part of architecture and spatial planning in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, as well as Korea and Japan. This art is over 3000 years old. Planning involved not only homes but entire cities, gardens, temples, and even tombs.

Feng Shui in the West

In the 1980s, the art of spatial planning arrived in the West. Along with the growth of spirituality and meditation, it became very popular.
In the 1990s, feng shui reached peak popularity in the media and interior design. Many guides, TV shows, and even a new profession – feng shui consultant – emerged.
In Poland, feng shui was trendy in interior design guides and women's magazines.

Basic Feng Shui Principles

• Chi must flow freely – avoid blocking passages, cramped corners, and clutter.
• Balance the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, water.
• Colors matter – choose them according to the room's function and the energy of the elements.
• Bagua – an energy map dividing space into 9 zones (love, career, health, wealth, etc.).
• Entrance doors are key – they are the "mouth of the house" where energy enters. They should be clean, solid, well-maintained, and well-lit.

How to Arrange Your Home According to Feng Shui?

• The bed should not face directly opposite the door.
• Desk placement is best with a wall behind you (symbolic support).
• Mirrors reflecting clutter or the bed bring bad energy.
• Plants boost energy but avoid dry plants and cacti in relaxation zones.
• Bathroom and toilet doors should always be closed to prevent energy from “escaping.”
• Orderliness is fundamental – clutter blocks energy.

Which POL-SKONE Doors to Choose According to Feng Shui?

1. Solid and Full Doors – For Main Entrance

This entrance defines the energy flow throughout the home.

Recommended POL-SKONE collections:

• CERES VARIO – solid, full exterior doors with elegant design.
• Available in warm wood tones such as natural oak, golden oak, walnut – representing earth energy.
• Doors should be clean, well-lit, and free of streaks – the “house’s business card” in feng shui.

2. Interior Doors – Harmonious, Quiet, and Natural

Feng shui values natural materials, subtle forms, and matte finishes. Avoid aggressive contrasts and sharp edges.

Best POL-SKONE collections:

• SIMPLE – minimalist, flush doors ideal for harmonious interiors. Simple form without unnecessary decorations. Perfect for Japandi, Zen, and feng shui styles.
