Hello~ Hello everyone, we meet again. It has been a while since I updated the Q&A. What have you been doing recently? (If you have any questions in the field of home furnishing, you can invite me to help you answer your questions)

Next, let's look at the question from the questioner. He wants to know about the Feng Shui of the living room, so I will explain the Feng Shui position of the entire living room from the perspective of Feng Shui.

1. Check whether there are any bad lucks at the front door.

The feng shui of the living room must first be considered at the entrance door. If it conflicts with the stairs, wealth will be lost; if it conflicts with the elevator, food will be damaged; and if it faces the door of another house, there will be many quarrels, and you need to pay attention to resolve it. It is recommended to use a peach wood peace bottle to resolve it.


2. The door should open to the left.

The direction of the door should be opened with the left hand when standing outside the door, because the left is the Azure Dragon, representing the auspicious aura. If the right hand opens the door, it will be dominated by the White Tiger aura, which often leads to more serious injuries.


3. Pay attention to the evil of through-hall in the living room.

If the door and window are opposite, the air will flow straightly, and neither qi nor wealth will be gathered. If the front door is opposite to the back door or the toilet door, the main air outlet will be polluted, affecting the health of the family, so it is necessary to use peach wood knot to resolve it.


4. A porch needs to be added between the front door and the living room.

The function of the entrance hall is not only to hide personal privacy, but also to alleviate the conflict, store wind and gather energy. The design of the entrance hall should be winding and avoid being straight.


5. The living room is best located in the south or front of the overall apartment.

Everyone knows the role of the living room, which is a place for family reunion and rest. Whether it is a family of two, three or five, they will gather in the living room, so the living room represents harmony and unity, and enhances family affection. If the living room is in the shade, the yang energy is insufficient, which is not conducive to unity and causes the trend of yin being strong and yang being weak.


6. A dark living room is a sign of bad luck.

The living room windows are blocked by trees and floors outside, and sunlight cannot reach the living room, which makes it dark. Dark places breed bacteria and easily cause furniture to mold, which has the greatest impact on family health and also affects wealth and the presence of the God of Wealth. Therefore, artificial lighting is needed to increase the brightness.


7. The living room floor is uneven and damaged.

Uneven ground is the worst way to gather wealth. Some clients or developers often design their living rooms three or two steps lower than the rest of the room, not knowing that in Feng Shui, one inch lower is water and one inch higher is a mountain. The bottom of the living room is "dead water" and the surrounding high ground is "mountain". "If water does not move, wealth will not flourish; if the mountain does not move, people will decline easily."

8. The bright wealth position in the living room should not be moved, as it will cause loss of extra income.

Every family has two wealth positions, one real wealth position and one bright wealth position. The real wealth position represents fixed income, while the bright wealth position represents unexpected wealth and side income. The bright wealth position is generally located diagonally to the left of the living room from the entrance. If there is dynamic water or electrical appliances in such a place, it will not only fail to bring wealth, but also have the suspicion of "water making wealth unstable, and strong fire stealing wealth".


9. The beams in the living room need to be adjusted.

It is a taboo in feng shui to have a beam pressing on the ceiling. For example, if there is a beam pressing on the sofa or tea machine in the living room, it is most detrimental to the health of the residents. Therefore, to resolve the problem, one should avoid the beam and not sit under it. The second is to wrap it with decoration to form an integrated ceiling, and hang five emperors' copper coins on the beam to resolve it.

The above is what you need to know and pay attention to regarding the Feng Shui position in the living room. I hope it can be helpful to you; (If you like my post, don’t forget to like and follow me)

1. Remember not to place the sofa directly opposite the front door. In serious cases, it will cause the family to separate and the wealth to scatter. If there is no other way, remember to put a screen between the front 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.

2. It is best to place the sofa against the wall, not facing the passage, and not without support behind. From the perspective of Feng Shui, if you place the sofa against the wall, you will have a backer and no worries. If there is a door, French window, or passage behind the sofa, and there is no wall to lean against, it will form a situation of dissipation and it will be difficult for people and wealth to prosper. The remedy is to place furniture such as screens and low cabinets behind the sofa to create a backer, which will be slightly better.

3. If there is a beam above the sofa, it will have a great impact and must be avoided. If it is necessary to place it under a beam, two pots of lucky bamboo must be placed on the coffee tables on both sides of the sofa to bear the pressure of Feng Shui and reduce unfavorable factors.

In addition to the above points, finally, I would like to remind everyone of the placement of the sofa. If possible, it is best to have it facing the doors and windows sideways and facing the activity area. The purpose of such placement is to allow family or friends to expand their field of vision and give the sitter or lier a sense of open, bright comfort. At the same time, whether it is light and ventilation, or standing up, sitting, or lying down, it can all be unobstructed, convenient and comfortable, which will naturally bring good luck to the family.

Home Feng Shui Sofa Placement

For more decoration knowledge, please pay attention to the official website of Lily House Decoration!

As living room furniture, you can choose not to buy a coffee table or a stereo, but you cannot choose not to buy a sofa. As one of the main furniture in the living room, the importance of the sofa is self-evident. The placement of the sofa also occupies a very important position in the Feng Shui of the home. How should the sofa in the living room be placed? Listen to my analysis.

1. It is better to bend than to be straight

Sofas are used for sitting, which is also a place where "qi" gathers, just like a river, where water will accumulate in a bend. The same is true for the placement of sofas. Putting the sofa in a curved shape will form a trend of gathering qi, which can achieve the effect of prosperity and wealth. This is why many people's living rooms are arranged in a U shape, with a red sofa in the middle and two small sofas as a set. However, there are many small apartments now, and the U shape cannot be placed. In this case, you can consider placing it in the corner, which is a natural feng shui for gathering qi.

2. Have a backer

In today's apartment, because of the living room area, the sofa is placed against the wall, which is correct. However, in some large houses and villas, the living room area is large and there is no solid wall behind the sofa. In this case, you can use a screen to make an "artificial wall" and put it behind the sofa. Not only does it have a good Feng Shui effect, but it also has a strong decorative effect.

3. Direction

As mentioned above, the sofa should form a gathering of qi, but there is also a saying that gathering qi can also gather evil spirits. If the position is not chosen well, it will form a gathering of evil spirits, which will not only not bring wealth, but also be harmful. Therefore, the sofa should be placed in the auspicious position of the living room, which will not only achieve true gathering of qi feng shui, but also have a good influence on people who sit here for a long time.

4. Avoid having doors opposite each other

The sofa cannot be placed opposite the door, otherwise it will form a "counterattack" situation. The sofa is supposed to gather qi, and when the door is opened and closed, the qi will leak out, and the gathering of qi will be destroyed. If this happens to be the case in your home and you cannot move it, then the editor recommends placing a screen at the entrance to resolve the "counterattack" situation.

5. Avoid pressing the beam

We have said before that when placing a bed in the bedroom, there should not be a beam above it, as this will affect people's health. The living room is no exception, but if there is a beam above the sofa in the living room, the impact is not just as simple as health, so you must pay attention when placing the sofa.

1. There should not be water behind the sofa. What are the Feng Shui considerations for placing sofas in the living room? In many families, the sofas are not against the wall. Some people put fish tanks on the low cabinets behind the sofas. This is a wrong decoration method because water decorations are inappropriate. Green plants are harmless because it is beneficial to use evergreen plants to fill the space behind the sofas without support.

2. Don't place the sofa opposite the door. What are the Feng Shui considerations for placing the sofa in the living room? If the sofa is in a straight line with the door, it will cause family members to leave and money to be scattered everywhere. In this case, it is best to move the sofa away to avoid conflict with the door. If there is no place to move it, you can only place a screen between the two.

3. The sofa should have a backer. What are the Feng Shui considerations for placing the sofa in the living room? If there is a window, door or passage behind the sofa, it is not good if there is no solid wall to rely on. If there is no solid wall to rely on behind the sofa, a more effective workaround is to place a low cabinet or screen behind the sofa. This method can be called an "artificial backer" and will also play a certain remedial role.

4. The sofa should be placed in the auspicious direction of the living room. What are the Feng Shui precautions for placing the sofa in the living room? If it is placed in the wrong direction, it will not only bring bad luck, but also affect health. The sofa is best arranged in a U shape. The concave position of the U shape is the air intake position, which can store wind and gather energy, and can gather wealth; this can bring prosperity to the family's fortune. If it is a small family, other objects can be placed to fill the missing part.

5. There should be no beams directly above the sofa. What are the Feng Shui precautions for placing sofas in the living room? This is a very common taboo in Feng Shui, which means that the beam is pressing down on the top, which has a great impact on the people sitting below, and should be avoided as much as possible. The solution is to include the beams during decoration. Or place two pots of lucky bamboo on the coffee tables on both sides of the sofa to bear the pressure of the beams.

Generally speaking, you should face away from the door when entering. A. You can sit directly on the sofa when entering the door, which is convenient. B. If the sofa faces the door, if someone is sitting on the sofa, the person entering the door can see the person sitting on the sofa directly, which is always a bit embarrassing, especially when wearing less (especially women wearing short skirts), which is really embarrassing.
