Living room sofa placement

If the door and entrance of a house symbolize the owner's face, then the furnishings in the living room reflect the owner's heart, especially in the placement of furniture, which requires us to spend more energy and time.

The first thing is the placement of the sofa.

The sofa is a piece of furniture used in the living room for daily rest, chatting and meeting guests, so it occupies a very important position in the house.

There are several requirements for the placement of the sofa:

(1) Choice of number, shape and color

Sofas can be divided into single sofas, double sofas, long sofas, L-shaped sofas, round sofas, etc. in terms of shape; in terms of material, they can be divided into leather sofas, cloth sofas, rattan sofas, etc.; in terms of color, there are even more varieties. The most taboo number of sofas in the living room is one and a half sets. Or use sofas of different materials, shapes, and colors at the same time.

(2) 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. 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, it should be placed in the four auspicious directions of the living room: southwest, due west, northwest and northeast. Since the East Four Houses are divided into sitting east, sitting southeast, sitting south and sitting north, and the West Four Houses are divided into sitting southwest, sitting four, sitting northwest and sitting northeast, the auspicious directions of the sofa can be further divided.

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

For a southeast-facing house: due north is the first choice, due south is the second choice.

For a house facing due south: the first choice is due east, the second choice is southeast.

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

Kun House located in the southwest: the first choice is northeast, the second choice is due west.

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

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

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

(3) The sofa should have a backrest

The so-called "backing" means that there is a solid wall behind the sofa, so there is no need to worry about the back. This is in line with the traditional housing theory. In the past, the chairs used in the palace all had natural marble backs, and the patterns on them were preferably those with hidden mountain views. This is the reason.
