The layout design of the pavilion should be cautious, because its space is limited, and random setting may lead to adverse Feng Shui effects. When choosing the size of the pavilion, its overall proportion with the garden or residence should be considered to avoid being too large or too small. At the same time, the shape of the pavilion should be mainly round, square, pentagonal, hexagonal or octagonal, which are more harmonious, and it is not advisable to choose too strange shapes.
The pavilion should not face the entrance of the house, and its sharp corners should be avoided to avoid adverse effects on family members, including people's health and fortune. The five elements of the pavilion are different according to its shape. For example, square and pentagonal shapes belong to "earth", round and four corners belong to "gold", hexagonal shapes belong to "water", and octagonal shapes belong to "wood". These attributes need to match the owner's five elements to achieve harmony.
The color selection of the pavilion should be coordinated with the five elements, and avoid using conflicting colors. For example, the combination of blue tiles and white bodies, as well as black, are taboo colors. If the back of the pavilion is downhill or steep, stones can be used as a backer to increase the sense of stability in Feng Shui.
For residential buildings, the most taboo is to set up a pavilion with sharp corners in the eight evil positions of the house dragon. At the same time, pavilions should also be avoided in the center of the pool to prevent the risk of children drowning. When the pavilion brings adverse Feng Shui effects, it can be properly blocked by elements such as curtains, convex lenses, unicorns or trees to alleviate the adverse factors.
