Does old furniture in a new house affect your home's internal energy?
Unless you buy all new furniture, every house goes through many "generations" of different items, which if not carefully selected will more or less affect the inner energy of the living space.
The synchronization of materials such as wood or brick always helps the space achieve the basic foundation of a unified and harmonious interior. |
Most homeowners understand that the type of house should be arranged in a consistent style. When you own a lot of old or antique furniture, you should place it in a nostalgic space. A minimalist Nordic style table and chair set will go well with modern furniture, but doing the opposite will create a conflict between old and new.
This concept, although correct, is not enough in terms of feng shui and contemporary decorative art. Because the harmony of opposites is the goal of architecture and feng shui, all interior combinations also aim for stability and convenience in use, there is no rule that traditional furniture cannot be placed in a new style house or vice versa. There are some principles below to help select furniture for a harmonious living space:
- With a negative nature, the Wood and Earth elements go with the classical style: Wooden and ceramic objects with rough surfaces will be compatible with negative spaces such as spiritual corners, bedrooms, study rooms, etc.
- With a positive nature, the elements of Metal and Fire are suitable for modern trends: Metal and plastic objects, bright colors, strong lines, youthful patterns... will adapt to positive spaces such as study corners, living rooms, modern living rooms, children's bedrooms.

- The Water element plays a neutral and connecting role: Like flowing water, the Water element has the ability to spread and connect spaces together through soft and flexible features, both supporting Wood and limiting Fire, and being energized by Metal and suppressed by Earth, thus helping the interior become more lively and natural. Curved glass table tops, miniature landscapes, vases, soft decorative lights, curtains, sparkling glass panels... will add Water to the interior, connecting the opposing elements.
- Harmony in contrast: To avoid bias towards a certain element, contrast will help to restrain it through the blending of materials, for example, bronze and old-style wrought iron (Metal) with soft shapes and patterns are still very suitable for the classical style. Although they are all wooden furniture, but the surface has fresh colors, new designs, and simple features, it is still classified in the modern group.
| If a family has many generations living together, it is necessary to select and arrange items to suit each age group and aesthetic taste in the family. Based on the concept of prioritizing common spaces for the majority of users, the common style of that group will be chosen, specifically the living room, dining room, common living room... tend to be Earth and Wood, and private rooms will follow the preferences and five elements of the users inside. |
