According to statistics, my country's Feng Shui is extensive and profound. To this day, home Feng Shui remains a highly academic subject. Take the example of furniture placement in home renovations. This is inseparable from home Feng Shui. Generally speaking, what placement methods should we follow for furniture layout? Let's discuss it with everyone below.
The living room layout is ideally rectangular or square. The seating area should avoid corners, and the sofa should not be placed over beams. If there are prominent corners that create a negative impact, place potted plants or furniture to address this. If the living room is L-shaped, use furniture to divide it into two square areas, treating them as two separate rooms. For example, one area could be a living room and the other a bedroom. Alternatively, hang a mirror on the wall to symbolically fill in the missing corners. Then, consider the room as a whole to determine the location.
Some homes have limited living rooms, so to enhance the visual impact, they hang a large mirror on the wall. However, such a placement is considered taboo in feng shui. Hanging a mirror behind a sofa is particularly detrimental. If someone is sitting on the sofa, those sitting next to them will clearly see the back of their head in the mirror, which is extremely detrimental. Furthermore, if the mirror is placed in the feng shui White Tiger position, it will reflect the Green Dragon position, which can easily disrupt the harmonious harmony of the living room.
The sofa is the centerpiece of a family's daily activities. Placing it in an auspicious location allows the entire family to benefit from the wealth in that area. Placing the sofa in the wealth position is particularly beneficial, as prolonged placement not only boosts the family's overall wealth but also improves their overall health. Placing the sofa in the peach blossom position enhances the family's popularity. For example, placing a leather sofa or fabric sofa in the living room is crucial for improving fortune.
Because the living room is the largest area in a home and can accommodate a large number of furniture, some people may choose to choose furniture of varying styles based on their personal preferences. For example, they might choose a fabric sofa while choosing a metal tea table, often with an unusual design. Some believe this approach reflects their uniqueness. However, from the perspective of feng shui, this is not a good choice. Choosing furniture of varying styles can disrupt the harmony and unity of the living room. It is best to choose furniture of the same overall color. For example, choose a fabric sofa and fabric lounge chairs of the same style and color, or a leather sofa and leather lounge chairs. This creates a more harmonious and cohesive living room.
It's best not to place living room furniture under load-bearing beams. Placing a sofa under a beam can significantly impact the health of all family members, so avoid this practice. If this is unavoidable, place lucky bamboo on the tea tables on either side of the sofa to symbolize continuous growth and upward advancement, thus combating the "Crossing Hall Sha" (a term often used in a mistranslation or translation). For smaller apartments, avoid placing fabric sofas under beams, as this can create a sense of oppression.
The sofa is a seating area. If there's no space behind it, it signifies that the person has no support. Therefore, a sofa should never be placed without a backrest. If there's no space behind it, it can easily cause the furniture to lose wealth and fail to attract prosperity. If placing it against a wall is absolutely impossible, a screen or decorative cabinet can be used. Therefore, it's best to place a leather or fabric sofa against a wall.
That's all I have to say about furniture placement. When furniture is placed well, you can create a better home environment. When the items in the house are neatly arranged, you can create a more comfortable environment and live a happier life.
