The dining table is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the restaurant's Feng Shui. The layout of the dining table also has a significant impact on the restaurant's Feng Shui. So what are the Feng Shui taboos for the restaurant's dining table?

Below we analyze the 10 Feng Shui taboos of restaurant tables from the perspective of Feng Shui numerology. Come and take a look at these Feng Shui knowledge!

1. It is best not to have sharp corners on the dining table:

  the smaller the angle, the sharper it is and the greater the lethality, which is considered a taboo in feng shui, because a triangular dining table will lead to family discord and damage to the health of family members, and an angular dining table will lead to the leakage of money, etc.

As for those wavy and water-shaped dining tables, although they are not in line with tradition, they can still be used because they have no sharp corners. In short, round and square dining tables are always the best.

2. The dining table should be flat and not tilted:

  The roof above the dining table should be flat and intact. If there is a beam pressing on the top, or it is located under the stairs, or the roof is tilted, it will be harmful to the health of the family. A beam pressing on the top is a taboo in Feng Shui. It is unlucky to have a beam pressing on the top of the house, no matter where it is in the house, and the biggest harm is when it is pressed on the bed, sofa, dining table and stove, so it must be avoided as much as possible.

If there is a beam above the dining table, you can use a suspended ceiling to cover it, but the best way is to move the dining table to another place.

If the dining table cannot be moved away from the sloping roof, you can also use a false ceiling to fill the sloping roof; if the dining table is under the stairs, you can place two pots of lucky bamboo at the bottom of the stairs to resolve it, but you must make sure that the lucky bamboo can continue to grow upward and remain evergreen, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect.

3. The texture of the dining table should be exquisite:

  the surface of the dining table should be easy to clean. Marble and glass tabletops are relatively hard, cold, and have a strong artistic sense. However, they can quickly absorb the energy produced by the human body after eating, which is not conducive to diners' sitting and communicating. Therefore, they should not be used for formal dining tables. However, they can be harmonized through shape and texture, such as: a round marble dining table or a square wooden table. These combinations will bring good effects.

4. The dining table should not be directly facing the front door:

  Residential Feng Shui emphasizes "likes to be roundabout and avoids being directly facing". If there is a conflict, it will lead to: the vital energy of the Qi will be easily leaked and the Feng Shui will be greatly affected. If the dining table is in a straight line with the front door, you can see the whole family eating when standing outside the door, which is absolutely not desirable.

5. The dining table should not be directly facing the toilet door:

  In Feng Shui, the toilet is considered an unclean place where "filth comes out", so the more hidden the toilet is, the better. If the dining table is facing the toilet door, it often leads to poor health of the family. If the dining table is directly facing the toilet door, it is best to move the dining table to another location as soon as possible. If it is really impossible to move it, you can put a small water tray in the middle of the dining table and soak the iron tree head or lucky bamboo in water to resolve the problem.


 

6. It is not advisable to use candle-shaped chandeliers above the dining table:

  Some chandeliers are composed of several candle-shaped light tubes. Although the design is novel and quite ornamental, if you hang it above the dining table, it will be like piling white candles of different lengths on the dining table. This is by no means a good sign, because white candles are a symbol of funerals. Putting it in a place where the whole family eats together can have consequences, so you must try to avoid it, but candles of other colors will be fine.

7. The dining table should not face the altar:

  The altar is a place for worshipping gods and ancestors. Strictly speaking, it should not be too close to the place where mortals eat. After all, there are always differences between yin and yang, and between immortals and mortals. If the altar is dedicated to Guanyin, Buddha and other gods, since they all abstain from killing and eat vegetarian food, while ordinary people eat meat and fish, it would seem out of place if they are facing each other directly.


 

8. The dining table should not be too large:

  Some people like luxury and specifically buy extra-large dining tables. There is nothing wrong with this, but you must pay attention to the size ratio of the dining table to the dining room. If the dining room is not spacious, but a large dining table is placed, the hall will be small and the table will be large, which will not only be inconvenient to enter and exit, but will also hinder the feng shui of the restaurant.


 

9. The dining table should not be directly facing the door:

  The dining table is where the family gathers to eat. It must be quiet and stable so that they can enjoy three meals a day leisurely. If there is a door directly facing it, it will not only damage the feng shui, but also make the family members lose their appetite. If there are multiple passages in the dining room, it will be like being in a vortex, making the whole body uncomfortable. This must be improved as soon as possible.

10. The dining table should be round or square:

  The traditional cosmology is "the sky is round and the earth is square", so most daily utensils are round and square, and the traditional dining table is a typical example. The traditional dining table is shaped like a full moon, symbolizing the reunion of the whole family, intimacy, and gathering of people, which can set off the atmosphere of eating and has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

As for the square dining table, the small one can only seat four people, and is called the Four Immortals Table; the large one can seat eight people, and is also called the Eight Immortals Table, because it symbolizes the gathering of the Eight Immortals, which is also auspicious. It is square and stable, symbolizing fairness and stability. Although it has corners on the four sides, they are not sharp and have no lethality, so people are happy to use it.
 

Since the shape of the dining table affects the dining atmosphere, a wooden round table or square table is suitable for a family with fewer people, while an oval or rectangular table is suitable for a family with more people.
