Draw your home and check 12 common layout problems. No compass, no birth dates, no sign-up.
Draw your floor plan — Select Draw mode, then click or drag across the grid to paint the interior.
Label rooms — Drag a room seal onto a painted cell — one cell per room. Garden, garage, storage, and balcony may sit outside.
Place furniture — Drag BED into the master bedroom and STV into the kitchen, then set their facing.
Mark the main door — Drag MD onto the outer-wall cell where your front door sits — one per plan.
Fix mistakes — Drag a stamp to move it to another cell; the eraser removes the stamp first without erasing the interior. Undo steps back.
Set the compass — Rotate the compass so the needle points to your home's actual north.
Pinch to zoom — Too small to see? Pinch with two fingers to zoom. When zoomed in, pan with two fingers — a single finger on the grid still draws.
Standing at the front door looking in, is there a window or sliding door directly ahead?
Paint the shape of the home first — results appear below as you draw.
What you just did is form school (巒頭) — reading the shape of the layout. The other half of feng shui is qi theory (理氣): Flying Stars, Eight Mansions, the building period and the annual stars. Without your compass bearing and the household’s birth dates, this tool cannot answer any of these four:
And: the same layout facing south and facing west produce two completely different charts. The shape decides part of it; direction and time decide the rest.
The shape of your layout is fine. What is worth knowing next is the direction layer — where your wealth position is, which room does not suit a bedroom, and which direction to avoid this year.

This tool runs geometric form-school checks only. It does not include Flying Stars, Eight Mansions, the building period or the annual stars. It can tell you whether the layout has obvious pitfalls; it cannot tell you whether this home is auspicious for you personally. It also cannot see what sits UNDER a staircase — the grid has no way to represent that.
From the front door, the line straight ahead runs unobstructed to a window, sliding door or balcony.
Wind drives straight in during winter, and the whole home is visible the moment the door opens. (Whether a foyer exists is judged separately, below.)
How much it matters depends on which compass sector that axis falls in, and which star sits there on your home’s chart.
Two doors directly face one another across three cells or less of open space.
They knock into each other, circulation collides, and privacy on both sides suffers.
It depends which two rooms are involved — bedroom-to-bathroom and kitchen-to-bathroom read differently — and on the sector that axis sits in.
Open the front door and the bathroom is directly ahead.
Odour and sightline are both poor, and it is the first thing a visitor sees.
It depends which sector the bathroom sits in — a bathroom over a wealth sector reads very differently from one over a sector that carries little weight.
The stove is directly visible from the front door.
Cooking fumes and heat run straight at the entrance, and the flame flickers whenever the door opens.
It depends on the sector the stove occupies and the stars there, and on whether the stove mouth faces an auspicious direction for the occupant.
The staircase descends straight toward the front door with nothing in between.
Traffic up and down runs right at the entrance, doors and people collide, and the foot of the stairs cannot be used for anything.
Classically read as qi and wealth running straight out of the door; how much depends on the timeliness of the facing star in that sector.
A room door opens onto the staircase within three cells.
You step out of the door straight onto a change in level, which is easy to misjudge; the door also collides with traffic up and down.
It depends on which way the stairs descend, what the room is used for, and which star sits in that sector on your home’s chart.
The bathroom sits at the centre point of the plan, enclosed on all four sides.
A central bathroom rarely has an external window, so damp and odour have nowhere to go and spread through the floor.
The centre governs the household’s health and overall fortune; how much depends on the period and the star combination there.
The stove sits at the centre point of the plan.
Cooking fumes spread through the whole home, and a central kitchen is hard to ventilate.
Fire at the centre is read against the period and the stars in that palace; the stove mouth’s direction relative to the occupant also changes the verdict.
The staircase sits at the centre point of the plan.
The middle of the home is taken up by circulation and a void, leaving nowhere settled to put anything.
The centre should be still rather than busy; how much it matters depends on the period and the stars there.
The front door opens straight into the living room, dining room, kitchen or a bedroom, with no foyer in between.
Nowhere to take off shoes or set things down, the interior is exposed at a glance, and cold air blows straight into the living space.
How much buffering is needed depends on which sector the door sits in and the stars there.
The kitchen and bathroom share a wall, or their doors face each other.
Damp and odour cross between them, and the plumbing is all concentrated in one zone.
How much water beside fire matters depends on which sector each of them occupies.
The floor plan is not a complete rectangle — a piece is cut away.
Furniture is awkward to place, space goes unused, and the notched side often gets little light.
What matters is WHICH trigram is missing — north-west is Qian, south-west is Kun, and each maps to a different member of the household. That needs a precise compass bearing, which this tool does not take.
