Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan — Home Feng Shui: Case 38 Cluttered Wealth Corner in the Living Room
Author: Master Andrew Chan · Mongkok, Hong Kong · Home Feng Shui Expert · Updated 2026-07-18

Pattern Analysis
Hong Kong Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan's home feng shui insights highlight that the living room's 'bright wealth corner' is located at the diagonal corner from the main entrance. This area is where wealth qi most easily gathers in a home and must be kept clean, bright, and stable. If this wealth corner is cluttered with miscellaneous items, trash, cleaning tools, or if items like fish tanks, air conditioners, or sharp objects are placed there, it will directly suppress or scatter wealth qi, forming a 'broken wealth corner' pattern.
Main Impacts
Obstructed Wealth Luck
Both primary and secondary income streams will struggle to improve. Earning money becomes difficult, savings are minimal, and unexpected financial outlays are prone to occur.
Turbid Home Qi Field
Accumulated clutter generates turbid qi, affecting the overall vibrant energy of the space. Family members may experience low spirits and procrastination.
Practical Remedial Suggestions
The core principle, according to Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan, is to keep the wealth corner 'clean, bright, stable, and vibrant'.
Cleaning and Organizing (Essential First Step)
Thoroughly clear away clutter and trash from the wealth corner area. Keep surfaces and the floor tidy and dry, avoiding the accumulation of idle items or cleaning tools.
Placing Wealth-Attracting Items (Optimization)
Place evergreen broad-leaved plants (such as money trees, jade plants), treasure basins, or crystal caves in the wealth corner. These items symbolize stable wealth accumulation. Ensure plants remain vibrant; promptly replace any with yellowing leaves.
Avoiding Taboo Items
The wealth corner should not have fish tanks (water is active, leading to 'money coming and going'), air conditioners or fans (airflow scatters wealth qi), sharp metal objects (clashing with wealth qi), or trash cans (filthy qi depletes wealth). Additionally, avoid the wealth corner being perpetually dim; consider adding a small night light to supplement illumination.
