阳台的 orientation affects the lighting of a house, and from the perspective of feng shui, it also influences the feng shui of the home. So, is it better for a balcony to face east or west? How should the color of the balcony be chosen? Let's find out with Huayi Network.

Is it better for a balcony to face east or west?

A balcony facing east is relatively better;
It is said in Taoism that "the purple qi comes from the east," so the east is considered a place of auspiciousness. Therefore, choosing a house that faces east allows the eastern windows to benefit from the auspicious influence, which symbolizes continuous good fortune and endless vitality. From the perspective of feng shui, a balcony facing east is actually very lucky.
In feng shui, a house facing west is usually considered an unlucky sign. Feng shui emphasizes "protecting wind and gathering energy." In summer, when it is hot and needs to cool down, a west-facing house lacks ventilation; in winter, when it is cold and needs to keep warm, a west-facing house lets the wind escape. Such a house has an unstable energy field, which is very unfavorable for wealth accumulation.
Moreover, a house facing west receives sunlight that represents a decline, and it faces the "White Tiger" direction, which symbolizes declining family fortune, excessive yin and insufficient yang, men lacking ambition, and lazy and procrastinating behavior. Worse still, it may even bring misfortune and disasters.

How to choose the color of the balcony?

The balcony is an extension of the home space, so its color should be consistent with the overall interior color scheme, which is the primary condition. Based on this, the color of the balcony should be determined according to the owner's feng shui preferences. For example, if the owner has a "Yang Life Fire" type, as they prefer the southwest direction and the color yellow, the balcony can be decorated with light yellow, which has the effect of attracting wealth and gathering energy.
As the saying goes, "It's better to have good luck than a good fate." A person's destiny is already set, and the only thing we can truly grasp is our own "luck." The sky has unpredictable winds and clouds, and people have unexpected misfortunes and blessings.
