The sofa is the most important item in the living room, so you can see how important its Feng Shui role is. Here are six points to pay attention to when placing the sofa in the living room in home Feng Shui. Let's learn about it with Master Longyin:

1. It cannot be opposite to the main door

Feng Shui requires that the sofa in the living room should not be in conflict with the door. If the sofa in the house is in a straight line with the door, it is called conflict in Feng Shui, which will cause family members to leave and wealth to be scattered, which is a very unlucky thing. In this case, Master Longyin suggested that the best way is to move the sofa away to avoid conflict with the door. If there is no place to move it, you can only put a screen between the two, try to make sure that the air flowing into the house from the door will not go directly to the sofa, the family will not be dispersed and unable to gather together, and the wealth will not leak out.

2. Do not place it with its back to the door

There are some rules for the placement of the main sofa in the living room. If it is placed incorrectly, it will create a bad Feng Shui climate. It is generally believed that the main sofa should not be placed with its back to the door, otherwise it will easily lead to the effect of offending villains. When placing the main sofa, try to place it in a position where people sitting on it can see the door smoothly.

3. There should be no beams on the top

Fengshui says that it is taboo to have a beam above the sofa. Exposed beams in a house are something that needs to be paid attention to. If there is a beam above the sofa in the living room, it will not only affect one or two people, but the whole family and even the guests who often come. Therefore, you must try to avoid this situation. If it is really unavoidable, you can also place two consecrated gourds on the coffee tables on both sides of the sofa to absorb the evil spirits.

4. No direct sunlight on the top

There should not be direct lighting on the sofa in the living room. When decorating, many people find that the light around the sofa is weak, so they install lighting on the sofa, such as downlights hidden in the ceiling or spotlights exposed outside. Although these lights make the living room brighter, they are too close to the sofa and often form direct lighting from the top of the head, which is contrary to the principles of Feng Shui and should be avoided as much as possible. From the perspective of environmental design, it can also make people nervous, dizzy, and restless.

5. There should be no water behind

From the perspective of Feng Shui, it is inappropriate to use water as a backing, because water is impermanent, and it is difficult to seek stability if you rely on it as a backing. If you place water decorations such as fish tanks and Feng Shui wheels behind the sofa, the whole family will sit there every day, which is like having no mountain to rely on, affecting the stability of the house. Therefore, placing water-related items behind the sofa is a taboo in Feng Shui.

6. Do not place mirrors

When using the sofa, you should pay attention to the fact that there should not be a mirror behind the sofa that reflects the back of the head. Some people hang mirrors on the wall to make the living room look more transparent and spacious during decoration. However, according to Feng Shui, mirrors should not be hung randomly because of their reflective effect. It is not suitable to have a large mirror behind the sofa, which will generally cause the person to lose his soul and become manic. Of course, it is not a problem if the mirror is not behind but beside.
