What is the difference between a Feng Shui practitioner and an interior designer?
A Feng Shui practitioner and an interior designer have different main goals. The main goals of an interior designer are to produce an environment that is esthetically pleasing and that functions efficiently. The main goals of a Feng Shui practitioner are to insure that the occupants of a building benefit from good aspects of that building’s energy, and to minimize the impact of bad energy. Good Feng Shui will usually produce an environment that is both esthetically pleasing and efficient, but only as side benefits. Some of the recommendations made by a Feng Shui practitioner may relate to the decor of a room, and therefore Feng Shui is sometimes confused with interior decorating. However, authentic Feng Shui is actually energy work, and is more closely related to reiki or acupuncture than it is to interior design.
