Feng Shui taboos for sofa placement, you must know

A comfortable sofa is a must-have for home. Often we only consider the beauty and convenience of the arrangement, but in residential Feng Shui, the sofa occupies an important position. If you are not careful in the arrangement, it will mess up the pattern and may affect the owner's fortune. So how should the sofa be placed in a proper way?


 Feng Shui of Sofa Placement 

1
The sofa should be placed in a circular shape
Feng Shui: The sofa in the living room should not be arranged straight. It is best to place it in a "surround" style, such as a U shape, so that there is a "hall" in front of the sofa to store wind, gather energy and wealth.

Remedy: If the living room space is not large enough, you can choose a modular sofa; for a straight-line sofa, you can add two more chairs on both sides to facilitate communication.

2
Don't place the sofa opposite the door
Feng Shui: If the sofa is in a straight line with the door, Feng Shui calls it "counterattack", which has the disadvantage of dispersing energy.

Remedy: If it is really impossible to move it, you can place a screen between the two so that the air flowing in from the door will not directly hit the sofa.

3
There should be a "backrest" behind the sofa
Feng Shui: The back of the sofa should be supported by a solid wall, which means there is a solid wall behind the sofa to support you. If there is no support behind the sofa, it is easy for people to feel insecure.

Remedy: If there is really no solid wall to rely on, you can place a low cabinet or screen behind the sofa, or place green plants. If conditions permit, it is best to choose tall plants, which is called an "artificial backer" as a remedy.

4
There should be no direct light on the top of the sofa
Feng Shui: Many people often install lighting on the top of the sofa, such as downlights on the ceiling or exposed spotlights. The light will shine directly down from the top of the head, causing dizziness and restlessness.

Remedy: Try to direct the ceiling light towards the wall to alleviate the problem.

5
There should be no mirror behind the sofa
Feng Shui: To make the living room look spacious, some people hang mirrors on the wall. In Feng Shui, mirrors reflect, so they should not be hung randomly. If there is a large mirror behind the sofa, you can see the back of other people's heads in the mirror, which will make you feel uneasy.

Remedy: If the mirror is next to the sofa instead of behind it, it is fine as long as it does not reflect the back of your head.

6
No beams directly above the sofa
Feng Shui: Having a beam above your head not only makes people uncomfortable, but is also a big taboo in Feng Shui.

Remedy: The sofa is where the family often gathers together. If it is unavoidable to have a beam directly above it, you can wrap the beam during decoration.

Based on the principles of Feng Shui, we also need to seek the most ideal sofa shape, and the best one is the one that suits our home.

 Choice of sofa shape 

When choosing a sofa, you should choose a sofa with a suitable shape according to the layout of your home. There are three main shapes of sofas: straight, L-shaped, and U-shaped.

1
One-line
Applicable to: various house types
The straight-line sofa can be used in both large and small apartments, and can be placed casually. Generally, chairs are placed on both sides. This layout makes it more convenient for family and friends to communicate, and it is suitable for all types of apartments.

2
L-Shape
Applicable to: medium and large-sized living rooms
The classic L-shaped sofa is the chaise longue, which is a 3+1 combination sofa with 3 seats and 1 bed, also known as the chaise longue. When choosing, you need to pay attention to the shape and layout. The long side of the sofa should be against the longer wall, and the short side can face the window or passage.

3
U-Shape
Applicable to: Large living room
The arc of the U-shaped sofa gives people a sense of inclusiveness, showing the elegance that a living room should have . In addition, according to Feng Shui, the U-shaped depression is the air intake position, which can store wind and gather energy, and is said to gather wealth.


The sofa is the foundation for a family to enjoy the happiness of family life.
Be sure to choose carefully!
