The Five Elements Fire Earth Metal Water Wood

An ancient design philosophy, applied practically.

Feng Shui is a centuries-old approach to arranging space so it supports the people living in it — through layout, light, flow and balance. At Attitude, we use its core principles alongside standard design practice: as a lens for better layout decisions, not a substitute for them.

We treat Feng Shui as a design tool grounded in flow, light and function — not a guarantee of any specific life outcome.

Applied by Ana Laura Casagrande, founder of Attitude Designs Interiors.

The principles, explained

Four ideas we design around.

Each one shown simply, the way we’d sketch it on your own floor plan.

Principle 01

The commanding position

Key furniture — a bed, a desk, a stove — placed so you can see the door without sitting directly in line with it.

  • Applied to bedrooms, home offices and kitchens
  • Supports a sense of ease and control in the room
  • Often reshapes a layout you’d never have questioned

Principle 02

The five elements

Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water — represented through material, colour, shape and texture, balanced across a room rather than dominated by one.

  • Timber and greenery bring in Wood
  • Stone, ceramics and warm tones bring in Earth
  • Metal fixtures, mirrors and curves bring in Metal and Water

Principle 03

The energy map (bagua)

A simple 3×3 grid laid over your floor plan, linking each zone of the home to an area of life — used as a prompt for intention, not a rulebook.

  • Helps decide what a room is really “for”
  • Guides colour and object placement within a space
  • Applied loosely, alongside — never instead of — good layout sense
Before After
Principle 04

Clutter & flow

Clear pathways and considered negative space — a room with somewhere for everything moves, and feels, better than one that’s simply full.

  • Furniture edited down to what earns its place
  • Clear walking paths from door to door
  • Storage planned in, so surfaces stay clear
Where it shows up

Feng Shui principles, built into every service.

Not a separate add-on — these ideas inform the layout and colour decisions across everything we do.

Property Styling

Furniture placement that supports flow and a commanding view of entry points, for a home that feels right the moment buyers walk in.

Full Interior Design

Layout and material choices considered against the five elements from concept stage, not bolted on at the end.

Remote E-Design

Energy-map thinking applied to your floor plan, wherever you live — part of every mood board and layout plan.

Colour Scheme Consulting

Palettes chosen for balance across the five elements, not just what’s trending.

Why work with Attitude on this

Grounded in design, not guesswork.

Feng Shui principles at Attitude are applied as part of a genuine design process — considered alongside function, budget and your own taste, not in place of them.

Practical, not prescriptive

We use these principles as a lens for better decisions — your lifestyle and preferences always come first.

Backed by design training

Applied by a trained architect and interior designer, alongside standard planning, materials and lighting knowledge.

Woven in, not sold separately

Included across our services as standard — you don’t need to book a separate “spiritual” add-on to benefit from it.

Feng Shui principles are offered as a traditional design and wellbeing framework focused on layout, light and flow. They’re not a guarantee of any financial, health or personal outcome.

A standalone consultation

Just want the layout and colour advice? Three steps.

01

Walk us through your space

In person or over video — your floor plan, how each room is used, and what isn’t working.

02

We map it

Commanding positions, the energy map and a five-elements colour palette, applied to your actual layout.

03

You receive a plan

A clear, practical set of layout and colour recommendations you can act on at your own pace.

Common questions

Before you enquire

Do I need to believe in Feng Shui for this to work?

No. Many of the principles — clear pathways, good sightlines, balanced materials — are simply good design practice, whatever you call it.

Will this involve special objects, crystals or rituals?

No. Our approach is layout, colour and material-led — practical design decisions, not decorative additions.

Is this separate from your other design services?

It’s built into Property Styling, Full Interior Design and Remote E-Design as standard. A standalone layout and colour consultation is also available if that’s all you need.

What areas do you serve?

Castle Hill, the Hills District and Greater Sydney in person. Remote consultations are available Australia-wide.

How do we start?

Message us on WhatsApp with a bit about your space. We’ll talk through whether a standalone consultation or a full project is the right fit.

Let’s find the right layout for how you actually live.

Enquire on WhatsApp to book a consultation.

“Ana helped us with our new home from tile selection to floor carpet, lighting, feature wall, kitchen cabinets colour and overall interior of the house. Furniture selection and decorative pieces to dining tables and coffee tables as well as family photo gallery — everything we worked together. She put down all our efforts and different ideas of brainstorming to reality, making it more beautiful and lovable. Everybody is happy with the interior and we can’t thank Ana enough. A great designer, easy to work with.”

“Due to minimal time, needed someone to help re-organise a spare room and declutter. Was great value and the needed push to get rid of items you don’t need. Happy with the service, just what I needed.”
