How should a sofa be arranged for good Feng Shui?

Sofas are a common type of furniture, but their placement is also important, as proper placement can have a positive impact on the feng shui of your home. So, how should sofas be placed for good feng shui? DeLo leather sofas will introduce some knowledge about sofa placement.

The number of sofa covers should be taken seriously.

Sofas come in various shapes, including single sofas, two-seater sofas, rectangular sofas, and circular sofas. They also differ in materials, such as genuine leather and fabric. Furthermore, they offer a wide variety of colors and designs. The number of sofa sets in the living room is important; it's best to avoid having one and a half sets or using two different types of sofas interchangeably.

It is better to place it in a curved shape than in a straight line.

The sofa's crucial influence in the living room is like a nation's vital harbor; it must be able to gather as much energy as possible to prosper. A good harbor will inevitably have outward curves on both sides, resembling the letter "U". These outward curves act like arms protecting and embracing, while the central recessed area is precisely the feng shui energy-gathering position, capable of retaining and accumulating energy to achieve prosperity and good fortune. The placement of the sofa should also resemble a good harbor, ideally with an outward curve on each side. If the sofa is arranged in a straight line, it's like a strong man with a severed arm, unlikely to achieve much. For the living room, you can choose a leather sofa or a fabric sofa. Corner leather sofas or corner fabric sofas are also good options, as are modular combinations. The specific choice depends on your needs.

There should be a backrest behind the sofa.

Simply put, having support, or a solid backing, means that the sofa has a solid wall behind it. If the sofa is backed by a window, door, or emergency exit, it's equivalent to having no support. From a socio-psychological perspective, this creates a feeling of emptiness and lack of belonging. If there is no solid wall behind the sofa, a reasonable solution is to place a display cabinet or screen behind it. This is called "artificial support" and can have a mitigating effect. For small apartments, it's best to place fabric sofas against a wall, leaving a small gap between them. This is also beneficial for the sofa's maintenance.

A glass tank is not suitable behind a sofa.

However, one thing to note is that water is not suitable behind a sofa, so placing a glass tank behind it is also not advisable. Similarly, placing glass tanks or other water-related decorative items on a display cabinet behind the sofa is also not recommended. Of course, for sofas without back support, using long green plants to fill the space behind them is beneficial.
