Feng Shui Tips for Dining Room It is advised to use an oval or round dining room table. Do not use square or rectangle dining tables as sharp corners break up the Chi flow. It is believed that the rounded tables stimulate conversation and maintain unbreakable chi flow.
- The host of the house should always sit at the head of the table. Make sure that there is no door at his back. If there is the door at the back remove that door or fill that place. This would prevent the family from unexpected surprises and problems. However, it is good to have a door in front of the host’s seat.

Having exposed beams in the dining room may cause depression to the occupants. However you can cover them by paint if they are necessities.
- Avoid placing too much of furniture in the dining hall. There should be only a dining table and chairs for the occupants to sit and eat the meal. Too much furniture can inhibit the flow of chi and can cause digestive issues to the members of the family.
