Feng Shui Tips for Living Room Sofas

　　Part1：

　　1. Choose the right sofa color

　　Bright and colorful sofas are the best for attracting wealth. Bright yellow, gold, purple, silver, emerald green, and brick yellow are all auspicious colors for bringing good luck and wealth. You can use these six colors to match your sofa cushions or back cushions.

　　2. Choose the right sofa material

　　Many people buy leather sofas. In fact, sofas made of fabric, cotton and linen are the most auspicious because their material absorbs more wealth as if it can breathe.

　　3. Choose the right sofa shape

　　The sofa should be square or round. These two shapes of sofas are not only conducive to the rational use of space and bring family members closer together, but also do not produce bad magnetic fields. Square and round sofas can withstand the changes of prosperous and declining auras and can keep the family fortune auspicious.

　　4. Choose the right number of sofa sets

　　The number of sofa sets in the living room is very particular. It is best not to have only one and a half sets, or to use both square and round sofas at the same time.

　　Part 2：

　　Taboo 1: The sofa has a beam pressing on the top

　　The living room is different from the bedroom. If there is a beam above the bed, only one or two people sleeping on the bed will be harmed. But if there is a beam above the sofa, it means that the family is under bad luck, and the whole family will be affected, and the impact is very serious, so it must be avoided as much as possible.

　　Solution: If you really cannot move the sofa, you can place lucky bamboo on the coffee tables on both sides of the sofa. The lucky bamboo that keeps growing upward and rising step by step can resolve the pressure from the beam.

　　Taboo 2: The sofa faces the door

　　If the sofa is in a straight line with the door, it will form a feng shui situation called hedge, which will cause great harm to the feng shui of the home.

　　Solution: In this case, it is best to move the sofa away to avoid it colliding with the door. If there is no place to move it, you can only put a screen between the two. In this way, the air flowing into the house from the door will not directly hit the sofa. If the sofa faces the door, it is not a big deal and there is no need to put a screen to resolve it.

　　Taboo 3: There is no backrest on the sofa

　　When we say that there is no support behind the sofa, it does not mean that there is no backrest, but that there is no solid wall to rely on. If there is support behind, there is no worry, which is in line with the principles of Feng Shui. If there is a window, door or corridor behind the sofa, and no solid wall to rely on, it is equivalent to having no support behind, and it is empty, which is a situation of dissipation and difficult to maintain prosperity. From the perspective of modern psychology, if there is no support behind the sofa, people will lack a sense of security, and always feel that they are being attacked from behind. It is better to lean against the wall to feel at ease.

　　Solution: A workaround is to place a low cabinet or screen behind it to remedy the situation by creating an "artificial backrest".

　　Part3：

　　1. The sofa should be placed in the auspicious position of the house

　　The sofa can be said to be the focal point of the family. The whole family sits and lies there every day. If the sofa is placed in the auspicious position of the house, the whole family can be affected by the prosperous energy and the whole family will be safe. Generally speaking, the auspicious direction of the house is 45 degrees diagonally from the living room door, facing north and south.

　　2. The sofa should be placed in a curved shape rather than a straight shape

　　The sofa plays an important role in the living room, just like an important port in a country. It must be able to receive as much water as possible to thrive. A good port must have two curved parts on both sides, shaped like the English letter "U". The curved parts are like two arms that support and embrace each other, and the concave part in the center is the Feng Shui air intake position, which can store wind and gather energy to achieve prosperity. The sofa should also be arranged like an advanced port, with one arm extending on each side.

　　3. The sofa should not be placed in front of a large mirror

　　Feng Shui emphasizes "hiding". It is not advisable to have a large mirror behind the sofa. When people sit on the sofa, others can clearly see the back of the person's head in the mirror, which is very bad. However, if the mirror is placed beside the sofa instead of behind it, the back of the head will not be reflected in the mirror.

　　4. The sofa should not be placed under spotlights

　　Because the light around the sofa is sometimes weak, many people will place lighting on the top of the sofa, such as downlights hidden in the ceiling or spotlights exposed outside. Because they are too close to the sofa, the light shines directly from the top of the head. In terms of environmental design, direct light on the top of the sofa will make people nervous, dizzy, and restless. If the light is modified to shine on the wall, it can be slightly alleviated.

One and a half sets of sofas and two sets of square and round sofas will affect the fortune of the entire family.

　　Feng Shui Taboos for Sofa Placement in Living Room: "No Backing"

　　The relationship between the placement of the sofa in the living room and the main walls is very important. It is best to have a wall behind the three-seater chair, which will represent a longer-term backing. If there is no wall behind the sofa in the living room as a backer, financial problems may arise easily. The main chair must also have a view of the outside view. Of course, if the view outside is not good, potted flowers will be a good choice for decoration.

　　6 common Feng Shui tips for sofa placement in your home

　　1. Choice of sofa

　　Editor's note: Sofas are classified by shape, including single sofas, double sofas, long sofas, L-shaped sofas and round sofas, etc.; they are classified by material, including leather sofas, cloth sofas, rattan sofas and traditional rosewood chairs, etc.; they are even more diverse in color and shape. The size of the sofa should be appropriate, and it is best not to use a large sofa in a small living room. The color and material of the sofa should be consistent with the decoration style of the living room. The number of sofa sets in the living room should not be one and a half sets or a combination of square and round sofas.

　　2. Sofa placement

　　Editor's note: Feng Shui believes that the sofa should be placed in the auspicious direction of the house, so that the whole family can benefit from it; if it is placed in an inauspicious direction, the whole family will suffer and will not have peace. The sofa should be arranged in a U shape. The concave part of the U shape is the air intake position, which can store wind and gather energy, and is said to gather wealth. It is more beneficial than placing it in a straight line. It is better to have an arm stretched out on each side, symbolizing left and right protection. If the area is too small to provide left and right protection, the next best option is to place another sofa at the water outlet position to form a water gathering situation, which is also in line with the principle of environmental layout.

　　3. The sofa should have a backrest

　　Editor's note: The so-called "having support" refers to a mountain to lean on, which means there is a solid wall behind the sofa to lean on, without any worries, which is in line with the principles of geomancy. If there is a window, door or corridor behind the sofa, and no solid wall to lean on, it means there is no mountain to lean on, and it is empty, which is a situation of dissipation and difficult to maintain prosperity. From a modern psychological perspective, if there is no support behind the sofa, people will lack a sense of security, and always feel attacked from behind. It is better to lean against the wall to feel at ease. A workaround is to place a low cabinet or screen behind it to remedy the situation with an "artificial mountain to lean on".

　　4. Avoid having a beam pressing on the top of the sofa

　　Editor's note: If there is a beam directly above the sofa, it is considered as a beam pressing down on the top, which has a great impact on the person sitting below, and should be avoided as much as possible. The first workaround is to include the beam during decoration. The second is to place two pots of lucky bamboo on the coffee tables on both sides of the sofa to bear the pressure of the beam.

　　Editor's note: If the sofa and the living room door are in a straight line, it is very bad, and it is likely to cause family members to separate and wealth to scatter. If there is no other way, remember to put a screen between the door and the sofa to prevent the air flow in the house from directly hitting the sofa, protect the wealth from leaking out, and reunite the family. 

　　6. Keep the sofa clean and tidy

　　Editor's note: If the sofa in the wealth position is messy, it is likely to affect the owner's financial management ability, and even lead to waste and extravagance.
