There’s a house on the market in Bel Air, California (a very ritzy part of LA) going for $17.5 Million. I love looking at real estate and when I got this listing from Rose + Chang I just had to check it out with my feng shui eyes. If I had a serious art collection this is the type of home I would seek out to show it to its best advantage. These types of spaces can often come across as sterile, cold, and institutional looking. But I think here the architect and designer (I’m assuming the furnishings were “staged”) have done a good job of creating a warm and inviting environment despite the large areas of the interiors. They have used wood very wisely and sparingly. The furnishings have a nice blend of curves to offset the masculine lines of the building itself. I particularly like the bathroom with the almost perfect use of the elements. Would you like living here or is it too big for you? Do you prefer traditional to minimal?
DOES $17.5 M BUY YOU GOOD FENG SHUI?

I don’t like the bathroom..too darn cold..and I don’t like the way the marble is tiled with the veins not matching. I do like the bedroom though!
J,
Nice point about the unmatched veins in the marble! I like the use of the elements: earth (stone), water (glass and mirror and actual water), wood (sink), metal (white color equals metal). They now simply add red towels and a candle and they’ve got fire and a completed feng shui system.
BTW the red tones in the towels would warm up the room a lot. Thanks for posting!
