The sofa is a must-have piece of furniture in the living room. It is a place for rest in the living room. The sofa plays a vital role in the living room, so the feng shui of sofa placement is also very particular. Whether the sofa is placed correctly or not has a great impact on feng shui and must be given enough attention. The editor of Zibo Furniture Network has compiled some feng shui considerations for sofa placement for your reference.

　　1. Choice of sofa sets

　　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 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 The sofa should be placed in the auspicious direction of the house. Traditionally, it is believed that if it is placed in an auspicious direction, the whole family can benefit from it; if it is placed in an inauspicious direction, the whole family will suffer and have no peace.

　　3. The sofa should have something to lean on. The so-called leaning on means having a backer, which means there is a solid wall behind the sofa, so there is no need to worry about the back. This is in line with Feng Shui. If there is a window, door or corridor behind the sofa, and no solid wall to lean on, it means there is no backer, and the sofa is empty, which is a situation of dissipation and difficult to maintain prosperity. From the perspective of modern psychology, if there is no backer 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. The workaround is to put a low cabinet or screen behind it to remedy the situation with an "artificial backer".

　　4. How to place the sofa

　　The best way to place the sofa is to have one arm stretched out on each side, symbolizing left and right protection. If it is not possible to do so because the area is too small, the next best option is to place another sofa at the water level to form a water gathering situation, which is also in line with Feng Shui principles.

Key points of Feng Shui for sofa placement in the living room

　　The important position of the sofa in the living room is like an important port in the country. It must be able to receive as much water as possible to prosper. A good port must have a bend on both sides, shaped like the English letter "U". The arrangement of the sofa should also be like an advanced port, with one arm on each side. If the sofa is in a row, it will be like a strong man with a broken arm, and it will be difficult to achieve anything. Although some ports are missing an arm and cannot be supported on both sides, as long as there is a bend at the water outlet to embrace the countercurrent. If the sofa cannot be supported by arms on both sides due to environmental limitations, then you can settle for the next best thing and place another sofa at the water outlet, and make your own lower sand to welcome the water flowing in from the gate to form a water gathering situation, which is also in line with the way of Feng Shui. The gate of some houses is diagonal to the balcony door, so it is even more necessary to place the lower sand at the water outlet to receive the water, so as to prevent the water flowing in from the gate from leaking out.

　　Sofas can be divided into single sofas, double sofas, long sofas and round sofas in terms of shape. In terms of materials, they can be divided into leather sofas, cloth sofas, rattan sofas and traditional rosewood chairs. In terms of colors and shapes, they are even more varied. The number of sofa sets in the Chinese-style living room is particular. It is best not to use one and a half sets, or use both square and round sofas. From a psychological point of view, the back of the sofa is empty and lacks a sense of security. If there is a window, door or passage behind the sofa, it means that there is no backing behind it. If there is no solid wall behind the sofa, a more effective way to improve it is to place a low cabinet or screen behind the sofa, which is called "artificial backing" and will also play a remedial role. There should not be a large mirror behind the sofa in the Chinese-style decoration. When a person sits on the sofa, others can clearly see the back of the person's head in the mirror, which is very bad. If the mirror is beside and not behind, the back of the head will not be reflected in the mirror.

　　If the sofa is in a straight line with the door, it is called "counterattack" in Feng Shui, which has great disadvantages. If the sofa faces the door, it is fine, and there is no need to put a screen to resolve it. Sometimes the light in the sofa area is weak, and many people will put lighting on the top of the sofa, such as: downlights hidden in the ceiling, or spotlights exposed outside, etc. 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 shoot at the wall, it can be slightly alleviated. In this case, it is best to move the sofa away to avoid conflict with the door. If there is no place to move, you can only put a screen between the two, so that the air flowing into the house from the door will not go straight to the sofa.

Feng Shui of Office Sofa Placement

　　From a professional Feng Shui perspective, when choosing a supervisor's office, the five elements of the place must be able to boost the boss's fortune. It is best to match or mutually boost the fortune of the supervisor. In a prosperous company or unit, the fortunes or fortunes of the boss and the supervisor are mostly mutually beneficial. A supervisor who can help the boss has a fortune that is compatible with or helps the boss's fortune. If not, it will definitely bring trouble and losses to the boss and the supervisor himself. For the boss, choosing the supervisor's office and the supervisor is the first step to success, and it must not be underestimated! The aura generated by a good Feng Shui environment is of great help to the boss and his subordinates' health, courage, wisdom, and wealth, thereby achieving a prosperous business and a successful career.

　　So how should office furniture be placed? First of all, you should pay attention to the intuitive likes and dislikes of popular Feng Shui. Secondly, you should pay attention to the orientation of the office space and the five elements that are beneficial to your destiny. This is the basis of adjusting Feng Shui.

　　1. The location of the office desk should be arranged in a prosperous direction.

　　2. The five elements of the direction of the office door should be beneficial to the fate of the office owner.

　　3. The sofa in the office should be placed at the position where the office owner gathers energy or wealth.

　　4. The file cabinet in the office should be placed in the Qinglong position or the unlucky position of the office owner, but not in the front or back.

　　5. In addition to the overall layout to match the fate, you must also take into account the four small spirits of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise.

　　6. Decoration and color layout are the core parts of Feng Shui design, which not only require overall harmony and perfection, but also must be connected with the five elements!

Feng Shui taboos for sofa placement

　　1. Avoid water behind the sofa

　　There should not be water behind the sofa, so placing a fish tank behind the sofa is a taboo in Feng Shui. Similarly, it is not appropriate to place fish tanks, Feng Shui wheels and other water decorations on the low cabinet behind the sofa. Of course, for sofas without back support, it is beneficial to fill the space behind with evergreen plants.

　　2. Avoid having a mirror behind the sofa

　　According to Feng Shui, mirrors have a reflective effect, so they should not be hung randomly. If a large mirror is hung behind the sofa, people can see the back of the sofa's head in the mirror, which is traditionally believed to cause loss of soul and restlessness. 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 and it will be fine.

　　3. Avoid placing a beam on top of the sofa

　　If there is a beam above the bed, only one or two people sleeping on the bed will be affected. However, if there is a beam above the sofa, the whole family will be affected, which is a big impact. So it must be avoided as much as possible. If it is really unavoidable, you can place lucky bamboo on the coffee tables on both sides of the sofa to resolve the pressure of the beam by using the lucky bamboo that keeps growing upward and rising step by step.

　　4. Avoid placing the sofa opposite the door

　　That is, the sofa cannot be in a straight line with the door. Traditionally, it is believed that this will lead to the loss of family members and the dispersion of wealth. The solution is to move the sofa away so that it does not collide with the door. If the sofa faces the door, it is fine and there is no need to dodge.

　　5. Avoid direct lighting on the top of the sofa.

　　This is against the principles of Feng Shui. Direct light shining on the sofa will often cause the owner to be nervous, dizzy, and restless. The solution is to change the light to the wall, which can alleviate the problem slightly.

　　6. Avoid having windows, doors or passages behind the sofa.

　　If there is a window, door or passage behind the sofa, and no solid wall to rely on, it is equivalent to having no backing behind, and it is empty, which is a situation of dissipation and it is difficult to have a prosperous family and wealth. Moreover, from a psychological point of view, the sofa has no backing behind it, which means that there is no backing behind it. As the ancients said, "keep your eyes open in all directions and listen to all directions." Because the latter two directions cannot be observed, if there is a door or passage behind the sofa, you will be more worried about being attacked from behind. It is better to sit with your back against a solid wall. To take a step back, if there is really no solid wall to rely on behind the sofa, a more effective workaround is to place a low cabinet or screen behind the sofa, which can be called an "artificial backing" and can also play a remedial role.

The relationship between sofa placement and the five elements and eight trigrams

　　The sofa should be placed in the auspicious direction of the house: the sofa is where the whole family sits and lies down every day, and it can be said to be the focus of the family. If it is placed in an auspicious direction, the whole family can be affected by the prosperous energy of this direction, and the whole family will be healthy. However, if it is placed in an inauspicious direction, the whole family will suffer and the family will be restless.

　　For the East Four Houses, the sofa should be placed in the four auspicious directions of the living room: due east, southeast, due south, and due north. For the West Four Houses, the sofa should be placed in the four auspicious directions of the living room: southwest, due west, northwest, and northeast. If we divide it more carefully, although they are all East Four Houses, they have the distinction of sitting in the east, southeast, south, and north; and they are all West Four Houses, but they have the distinction of sitting in the southwest, west, northwest, and northeast. According to the inference of the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes, the choice of sofa placement will be different.

　　For the "Zhen" house facing due east: due south is the first choice, due north is the second choice.

　　"Xun" house facing southeast: due north is the first choice, due south is the second choice.

　　The "Li" house facing due south: the first choice is due east, the second choice is southeast.

　　The "Kan" house facing due north: the first choice is due south, the second choice is due east.

　　"Kun" house facing southwest: the first choice is northeast, the second choice is due west.

　　The "Dui" house facing due west: the first choice is northwest, the second choice is southwest.

　　"Qian" house facing northwest: due west is the first choice, northeast is the second choice.

　　"Gen" house facing northeast: southwest is the first choice, northwest is the second choice.
