Dear Jasmine,

This is based on `commonsense' rather than Feng Shui.

For example, it is said that it is best not to have a bedroom above the kitchen.

The rationale is because, the kitchen is where we usually do our cooking. And there may be a remote possiblity that a fire may accidentally break out in the kitchen. (Higher probability). In such a situation, as fire travels upwards, the room above the kitchen would most likely be the first to be affected.

It is the same as the garage. Here, it was felt that usually the garage may include some boxes of flammable material or used as a storage.

Alternatively, some people feel that the vehicle, may catch fire. I feel that this rare. But because of such notions, many also feel that it is not good to have especially the bedroom above it.

Overall, I personally feel that having a room above the garage is acceptable. Especially if we do not store flammable objects in the garage. And it is ok if the ceiling of the garage is high.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
