Home Renovation


Home Renovation Incentive Scheme 2014 – avail of 13.5% Tax credits on repairs, renovations or home improvements.  To avail of this HRI scheme the minimum spend is €5,000 and max covered is €30,000. 

The cost of furniture, interior decorations and flooring are not covered. (I’m very surprised flooring is not covered, no pun intended J )This incentive is to encourage home owners to get renovations carried out and increase the demand for small construction jobs.


Feng Shui Tips -
  • Sound proofing via insulation – anything that can be done to buffer constant sounds will help a person be calm and relaxed in their home.
  • Be careful on the use of Reds and purples in your décor as they will act as the fire remedy and only certain spaces can take these colours.


What you do for a living can be enhanced by using the location energies within your home to your advantage.
There are many instances where a house can be re-designed to work in favour of the occupants and bring about a positive change.  Interior designers are great to have on board but generally work on aesthetics primarily and will not consider the underlying energies within your home or how to bring about balance and equilibrium. If your home is too bright (too yang) this can cause headaches and angry out-bursts so getting the balance right is so important!
A house built in 1920 that faces North in the range between 340-350 degrees, with a door in the middle of the facing side is one which can attract legal problems. However, if the occupant is an Solicitor, it might help increase his/her business.
Before knocking any walls or adding on an extension, it is very important you know what area of the house you are re-working because it will effect you!  Why not get it redesigned to Feng Shui principles and then work with your interior designer.
As Winston Churchill once said “We shape out buildings and then they shape us”

Authentic Feng Shui is not about windchimes and baguas, it is not based on common sense and good interior design, it goes way beyond what’s functional and aesthetic.  Feng Shui is like gravity, everyone is effected by it!
