Elephants with Raised Trunks vs Crossing Trunks

Elephants with their trunks facing upwards can bring protection to your family. They also symbolize stability and resilience, both powerful traits humans need to possess to succeed. Intertwining their trunks can indicate strong bonds in friendships, families, and even romantic couples.

Ducks vs Swans in Pairs

Both are powerful symbols of marital fidelity. Mandarin ducks in pairs make romantic relationships grow fonder. Meanwhile, swans in pairs are effective in areas of the home where family members gather because swans symbolize harmony, peace, and loyalty.

What art should be avoided in Feng Shui?

Art showing darkness, violence, storms, and disasters negates positivity in any space. Angry-looking images and those that depict the war scene channel negative energies into the home and life force.

Being the main place for relaxation, your home should remain vibrant by displaying artwork with water and other nature elements.
