Couples Feng Shui: A DIY Design Tool for Creating a Harmonious Shared Space
Designing a home as a couple isn’t always easy.
Two people, two styles, two sets of furniture—and often very different ideas about how a space should feel.
That’s exactly where this project began.
When my partner and I decided to redesign our rooms and merge our furniture and design preferences, we started looking for DIY design tools that could help us create a space that worked for both of us—not just one person compromising for the other.
That search led us to Couples Feng Shui.
What is Couples Feng Shui?
Traditional Feng Shui often focuses on individuals—how one person’s energy aligns with a space. What we didn’t realize at first is that you can combine two people’s birthdays to find shared directions, balanced elements, and design choices that support a relationship as a whole.
My partner had never practiced Feng Shui before. She’d heard of it, but didn’t know:
it could be calculated from birthdays
it could be applied practically to room layout and furniture
or that it could help couples design a space together
Once we explored it, everything clicked.
Why birthdays matter in Feng Shui design
In Feng Shui, a person’s birth information can be used to calculate:
supportive directions for rest, focus, and connection
elemental balance (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water)
how a space can encourage harmony—or unintentionally create friction
What surprised us most was learning that Feng Shui doesn’t have to favor one partner over the other.
There are often shared directions and complementary elements that make it possible to design:
bedrooms that support better sleep and communication
living rooms that feel balanced and welcoming
workspaces that reduce tension and distraction
This turns Feng Shui into a relationship-friendly design tool, not a rigid rulebook.
From personal project to DIY Feng Shui tool
When my partner mentioned this approach to friends, the response was immediate:
“Can you do this for both people?”
“Does this work for couples who live together?”
“I wish there was a simple way to try this.”
That’s what inspired me to build a DIY Feng Shui design tool specifically for couples.
The goal wasn’t to replace professional designers or consultants—but to give people a starting point:
a shared design map
neutral guidance based on both people
and a way to start conversations about space, layout, and balance
Introducing the Couples Feng Shui Wizard
The Couples Feng Shui Wizard is a simple web-based design tool that:
uses both birthdays
calculates Feng Shui profiles for each partner

suggests layout, color, and design guidance
helps couples design spaces that work for the relationship
You can try it here:
It’s designed to be:
beginner-friendly
practical
and useful whether you’re redesigning a bedroom, living room, or shared workspace
Try it, share it, and let me know what you think
This project is still evolving, and feedback matters.
If you try the Couples Feng Shui Wizard, I’d love to hear:
whether it was helpful

or what you’d like to see added next
If you enjoyed it and found value in the experience, a tip is always welcome.
Supporting harmony at home is still cheaper than couples counseling 😉
