“When the ocean meets intention, harmony flows.”

– Echoes of the Sea

If Parts 1–3 of our Coastal Feng Shui series taught us anything, it’s that ocean-inspired artwork doesn’t just decorate your home — it transforms it. Now, we’re diving deeper with the Coastal Bagua Map, a powerful tool for aligning your home’s energy with the sea’s natural rhythm.


By pairing the Bagua’s ancient wisdom with coastal glass prints, you can cultivate harmony, flow, and abundance — creating a sanctuary that feels grounded yet alive with ocean energy.


This guide walks you through each Bagua zone, showing how to choose the perfect coastal art for every area of your home to enhance emotional balance, clarity, and joy.

Understanding the Coastal Bagua Map

In traditional Feng Shui, the Bagua Map divides your home into nine life areas — each representing a unique aspect of your energy, from wealth and love to creativity and wisdom. By applying this map through a coastal lens, you invite water’s calming influence and the ocean’s fluid energy into your living space.


The Coastal Bagua Map honors natural flow, light, and balance — helping your home echo the serene rhythm of the sea. Let’s explore each zone in depth.
