Yes, According to the Practice of Feng Shui, Your Home Has a Wealth/Abundance Corner
Your property, your home, and each room have money corners.
If you’re unfamiliar with the basic principles of Feng Shui, you can read here for simple clarification.
To attract the energy of wealth/abundance into your home, you’ll first have to determine where the wealth corner is for the house itself or use one particular room.
There are two ways to determine your wealth corner: Classical Feng Shui or Western Feng Shui. We’ll keep it simple and use Western Feng Shui.
Determine the Location of the Wealth Corner:
- Using the Feng Shui Bagua Map, stand at the door of the room you’d like to create a wealth corner in
- You’ll notice that the wealth corner is on the top left of the map
- If you’d like to determine the wealth corner for your overall home, stand at the front door holding the Bagua Map; the far top left corner of your home is your home’s wealth corner
- Don’t worry if that spot for your home is a washroom, laundry room, or some other non-main room, as you can still enhance the space with Feng Shui Wealth Abundance items.
- As you’ll notice on the Feng Shui Bagua Map, the best element to feature is Wood, and the better color choices are purple, green, gold, red, and blue.
Here are Items You Can Use to Feature in Your Room or Overall Home’s Wealth/Abundance Area:
Wood Frames – Wood Dresser – Water Feature
Since the element is Wood, depending upon your decor theme, you could add a wood-framed photo in the corner featuring a wealth-related print, such as a holiday on a beach or a luxurious ship, so long as the water feature is clean. Better yet, for your bedroom’s wealth corner, you could display the photo above a dresser and include a water feature, such as a tabletop waterfall. Note there is a school of thought that you shouldn’t have water-related items in a bedroom, but some say it’s ok; ultimately, it’s up to you.
Plants – Mirrors
You can feature Feng Shui Plants such as Bamboo, a Money Tree, or a Fern in that corner. You could also choose to include a mirror. However, it’s better not to put plants or mirrors in a bedroom. Don’t worry; some people don’t believe that’s a genuine concern and do it anyway. It’s up to you. You can read more about the thoughts on a mirror in the bedroom here.
Rectangular Shapes – Crystals
You could include the Shape Element for the Wealth/Abundance Corner, ‘Rectangular.’ Again, perhaps a pretty wooden rectangular accessory that holds Citrine or Pyrite Crystals. If the crystals are large enough, you could use them as a stand-alone feature.
Traditional Wealth Items to Feature:
An Ingot, an Abundance Ship, Chinese Coins, a Laughing Buddha
Wealth Items for the Home:

Ensure Your Space is Clean and Uncluttered
Whether or not you plan to include a wealth corner in your space, the main thing to remember is to keep your area clean and uncluttered so that positive energy can flow freely throughout the room.
It’s also advisable to keep your space nicely lit, with good music playing from time to time, enhanced with pleasing aromas and candles.
What Your Money Area/Corner Should NOT Include:
- Piled-up clothes, boxes, or clutter
- Dead or Dying Plants
- Stacks of Bills
- A Paper Shredder
- Tools
- Garbage Cans or Recycling Bins
- Unappealing and Depressing Images
- Sad Memories
- Cleaning Supplies
- Old and Unattractive Furniture
- Avoid Fire or Metal Elements in Your Wealth Corner – Use them sparingly

I think this would end up being my favorite place. Not because of the name, but because of the attributes. No clutter, no dying plants, no cleaning supplies …….. definitely very appealing. In truth, all of these elements, mirrors, wood, crystals, plants all appeal to me on a base level.
Cynthia, thanks for stopping by – yep, some of this just pure common sense that we sometimes just forget to follow lol!
I’m afraid I have some decluttering to do before I’m ready for this. No wonder I’m not wealthy!
Barb, would be nice if it was just that easy wouldn’t it 🙂
I did not know I had one of these. Ibetter get this map thing worked out and clean up that wealth area…..
Olivia, lol, I was sorta hoping when I cleaned mine that I would find a stash of cash!
Barbara, several years ago I practiced a bit of Feng Shui and naturally the money corner was appealing. I discovered that the top left corner of my whole house was in the kitchen right where the kitchen cupboards were, which doesn’t leave a lot of room to ‘place’ stuff. So…. I made a wheel divided into 8 pie shapes out of green construction paper. On each segment of the wheel I wrote in things we wanted to have (new TV, X amount of money for a vacation, etc.) and I taped it inside the ‘wood’ cupboard door. This door led to my dinner plates, so the door got opened several times a day (mealtimes, snack times, putting away clean dishes, etc.). Each time we opened that cupboard door, the ‘wheel’ items got looked at and concentrated on. The beginning date was noted on the wheel. When each item was acquired, I wrote the date on that segment. Do you know, within 18 months we ended up having everything on that wheel? If you think that is a fluke or coincidence, let me tell you that I have done this 3X now and every time the items I listed ended up coming to me in one way or another. 🙂 That’s my version of decorating the wealth corner of my home.
That’s awesome! and I do believe it, it’s a form of the self-fulfilling prophecy as well I would suspect! and you’ve done this three times with the same results, that’s incredible!!
PS: Forgot to tell you that the source of my learning about Feng Shui was from the book you feature here — “Move Your Stuff.. Change Your Life”. I still have that book.
The book proved to be very valuable for you, still amazed at all the things that came to you by following these principles!
Love this post! I don’t do much to Feng Shui my home. But I found it really fun to note that I already (by coincidence) have a money tree in that area of my apartment! Fun! Now I just have to remove a couple of dying plants. Otherwise, that is one area of my apartment that I tried to keep neat and uncluttered (outside of the plants). Fun post!
Dawn, you had it right and didn’t even know it 🙂
My wealth corner is located in my laundry room! I try to keep it as clean and decluttered as pissible, but my recycling and gargabe bin are there. I have wealth bowl and a beautiful vase with bambu, anything else I can no?
and maybe you’ll find lots of cash in the pockets too 🙂
I am trying to practise Feng Shui but other members do not support so I have some difficulties. 🙁 The concept of wealth corner is not clear to them.
Thanks for stopping by. It’s a personal thing. If it’s something you enjoy, I say try it. If it gives you a giggle and it’s not your thing, that’s totally fine as well.
My home office is the sunroom of my apartment; super bright with natural light, filled with items I really enjoy, and where I spend most of my day. The “doorway” is quite wide as it is simply a room that is off of my living room. Using the map provided, the wealth corner is currently free of everything except a large terra cotta floor vase filled with willow branches. Willow branches are wood, but are there requirements for the vase? This just happens to be what was already in that space when I came across your article. Thank you!!
Hi, thanks for stopping by. This article is a quick fun overview of how to decorate your wealth corner. If you do further in-depth research on Feng Shui you’ll find a lot more than what’s here. If you’re planning to simply apply the basics, then the description of your wealth corner sounds very nice. The terracotta vase can fall into the color category of a brown item (a wealth corner color). Although it’s not technically a ‘wealth vase’, it’s still a vase. It sounds like the corner is clear, clean and simple – having an uncluttered area with the intention being to attract abundance into your life is a positive thought, and that alone is a great place to start. There’s no guarantee in life that these simple practices will bring wealth into our lives, but clearing our minds and setting our intentions is a positive process, and that’s always a good approach to life.
Hi.
Unfortunately, the wealth area of where we are renting right now is a fireplace. It’s just a part of decor. It’s not a real fireplace.
May i please know how to solve this problem ?
I’ve noticed, money doesn’t come that easy ?
Wood is also an element for the Wealth Area. A small stack near the fireplace, as well as including other wealth elements to offset the fire is a way to deal with this.
What if the wealth corner is inside the clothes cabinet?
LOL – There’s a good question! If it were me I would focus on either the wealth corner in a room, or the home itself – with a closet I would ensure it’s very organized.
Ok so my wealth corner is my laundry room. there is dirty laundry, a garbage can for dryer lint and stuff and the door outside is blocked because it is so small. Ideas?
Without seeing your laundry, I’ll just give ideas based on what I would do – I would find a way to create organization so laundry wasn’t on the floor or piled up – maybe use the walls, go vertical – I would choose a garbage can with a lid – Also a reminder that each room has a wealth corner too (according to Feng Shui) – hope it all comes together!
