The bold colour requirements include a bright red element in the living area, a gold feature wall in the dining room and a study that features the colour blue with a mountain element.

To complement the strong colours, the firm selected a chinoiserie theme with floral compositions and natural materials. This harmonious blend ties the whole design scheme together and creates a cosy home with a luxurious ambience.

Located in a quiet Shah Alam suburb in Malaysia, this home designed by architect Choo Gim Wah embraces the beauty of off-form concrete with its open-plan concept.

The architect created a series of interlocking spaces through the 6,200sqft abode with feng shui principles in mind. The living room, for example, is designed with a staircase and faces East; this allows rays of sunlight to filter through the space and liven up the living area.

The homeowners of this three-bedroom apartment presented a rather unique brief: they tasked interior design studio ArchLuxe to create a modern interior that had to incorporate a science fiction-inspired aesthetic while adhering to feng shui requirements.

To form a bridge between the two differing elements, the firm injected organic curves inspired by the sinuous forms of spaceships into the spatial flow of the home. The lighting and furniture pieces also feature curved or circular details, which amplifies the elegant and soft atmosphere. The colours for different rooms were selected based on the advice of the geomancy consultant, and the team elevated the hues with a mix of materials and patterns.

Fashion designer Tory Burch’s apartment in New York’s Upper East Side is designed with feng shui principles in mind. Burch has been interested in geomancy principles since 2006, when one of her staff introduced her to it whilst preparing for the opening of her brand’s Hong Kong office.

Often consulting feng shui masters on her properties, stores and even the Tory Burch headquarters in New York’s Flatiron district, it’s no surprise that the layout of her very own home is also dictated by feng shui. Occupying an entire floor of The Pierre, an opulent Fifth Avenue hotel facing Central Park, the apartment is dressed in an eclectic mix of brightly-coloured furnishings and eye-catching prints.
