Feng Shui (feng shway) is the ancient practice of using the three elements to bring good luck and ward off evil. The three elements are sun,
earth, and people (animals). By moving furniture and using proper colors and styles, a Feng Shui expert is said to be able to bring a peaceful balance to a room or building. In Animal Crossing, Feng Shui is scaled down a lot. It is very helpful if you want better luck.
Some items have a certain Feng Shui "colors." These match the four directional colors:
This guide was done by Gaming Guru
North = Orange = better luck in money and items
South = Green = better luck in money and items
West = Yellow = better luck in money (another source says money AND items)
East = Red = better luck in items
(I've noticed that Feng Shui seems to help me catch fewer sea bass, but doesn't seem to help catching really rare fish, like the popeyed goldfish. This issue is debated in the posts, and it's not clear if it is true or coincidence.)
The lines or color in AC only apply to the outer *TWO* spaces of your room, so larger rooms need not worry about the middle area. Corners share
colors, so your upper right corner (North East) share both orange and red. Here is simple diagrams of your house at various stages:

As you can see, the colors cross at the corners, so it doesn't matter which of the two colors you put there. The blank center doesn't matter, it's
the walls that count. Placing the appropriate items in their colored sections will bring you better luck in the game, including finding more money, and items. If you find it does something else, let me know so I can test it. I myself have found more money in trees this way.
As I understand it, Feng Shui works on ALL floors of your house, even the basement. This is different than HRA points, which are only based on the first and second floor, NOT the basement.
A good way to get lots of Feng Shui is to get Feng Shui tables, and then put Feng Shui on top of them, for double Feng Shui!
Feng Shui items:
Some items are obvious as to which color they work with, some are not. Don't assume an all red items will work with Feng Shui, it might not. That's why I have listed all the items that affect Feng Shui. There are also special
items that boot your luck no matter which side you put them on. Place those items in corners for double luck!
