In Symbolic Feng Shui, it is believed that certain dimensions are auspicious and bring good luck, whereas certain dimensions are inauspicious and bring bad luck. Hence, when you make new furniture or renovate your office or house, make the tables, chairs, etc. according to the auspicious dimensions to create Good luck Chi for you !

As such all the furniture in the house and office have lucky and unlucky dimensions. The table, chair, cupboard, etc. can be measured with the help of a Feng Shui ruler. You can check whether the dimensions are auspicious or inauspicious.

The Feng Shui ruler has eight cycles of dimensions out of which four are auspicious and four are inauspicious. The measure of each cycle is equal to 17 inches or 43 cms and each cycle is divided into eight portions. The cycle of auspicious and inauspicious dimensions repeats itself over and over again to infinity. Once you get accustomed with the use of Feng Shui dimensions, you can use it for any kind of furniture. It can even be used for designing auspicious visiting cards, envelopes, etc.
