Abstract

This research explores the influence of Chinese Feng Shui culture in the practice of interior design.  The understanding of Feng Shui enables the construction of a framework to embed Feng Shui into Chinese interior design education. This would be able to provide theoretical support and practical pathways for enhancing the design competencies and qualities among Chinese interior design professionals. Additionally, it contributes to promoting the innovative inheritance and application of traditional culture in modern spatial design. Interior design is an extension and deepening of architectural design, involving the re-creation of indoor spaces and environments. It is an emerging interdisciplinary science rooted in modern environmental science research, with its design scope encompassing the planning and design of humanistic and social environments, natural environments, and artificial environments. Feng Shui originated in ancient China and was an important principle for ancient Chinese people in constructing buildings and selecting construction sites. Its aim was to carefully and meticulously examine the environment, harmonise with nature, and utilise and transform nature in a restrained manner to create a favourable living and survival environment, thereby achieving the optimal combination of celestial timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony, and reaching the ideal state of unity between heaven and humanity. Feng Shui is an important component of traditional Chinese culture and a significant manifestation of Chinese philosophical thought. Under the influence of the ecological development perspective in modern society, Feng Shui culture should be effectively integrated with interior design to guide its creation and implementation, improve the relationship between humans and nature, create a favourable indoor spatial environment, enhance the quality of human life, and align with the goals of sustainable development..
