When following the Feng Shui approach to interior design I find the most difficulty in the dinning area. The instruction of using a round, or rounded table gives me great anxiety. While intent on using the basic principles, I find it more than challenging to incorporate such a table for a few reasons.

First of all, many of my clients already have a type of dinning table in mind, and it is a rare occasion when that table is circular in nature. Thus, convincing them that it is the preferred selection can be a daunting task. Next, size is a factor. Round is the least conducive of shapes to use within an area with squared of corners and flat walls. For the space required, your return is not great. Finally, they simply do not conveniently seat as many, and any extension must be stored separately. Whereas, square tables often have handy mechanisms that allow for the storage of the leaf below the tabletop.

So, in sum, I continue to struggle with this, and do not seem to be gravitating towards a higher success rate. I do try to balance things out with plenty of round objects, like round mirrors, candlesticks, and tablemats, and hope that this is enough. Thus far, everyone seems to be happy with the results of their dinning room.
