Water, water, everywhere.
Well, not everywhere…only in certain places, really. Water equals money. No water, no money. Consider an aquarium in the north sector of your house, provided it isn’t a bathroom or bedroom. Don’t want an aquarium? Fine, put a painting or print of water, a waterfall, an ocean scene, a picture of turtles or fish; these are all fine representations of water.

Another good water option is to display sailing ships. Display the ships, either in paintings, prints or figures as sailing into the front door. Those that are not in rough seas are best. Sailing ships represented commerce and were often laden with all manner of precious cargo.

Paint it black.
If the north is out your front door, paint it black. This is incredible feng shui and one of the few western-style feng shui tips that works especially well. If you paint the door black, consider painting the shutters black too!

Why go to this trouble in your north sector? The north represents opportunities and career. If your career advances, most of the time, your earning power does too. This is why you want to make sure your north sector is well cared for. Gold objects (such as brass items) in this area are also extremely auspicious.
