Part 1: Arrange the sofa for good Feng Shui and avoid taboos

In order to create a better home feng shui, we can't place the sofa casually (sofa decoration renderings), let alone just for convenience. So, what are the taboos in sofa placement? The following editor will teach you how to deal with bad feng shui.

Taboo 1: The sofa has a beam pressing on the top

The living room is different from the bedroom (bedroom decoration renderings). If there is a beam above the bed, only one or two people sleeping on the bed will be harmed. But if there is a beam above the sofa, it means that the family is under bad luck, and the whole family will be affected, and the impact is very serious, so it must be avoided as much as possible.

Solution: If you really cannot move the sofa, you can place lucky bamboo on the coffee tables (coffee table decoration renderings) on both sides of the sofa. The lucky bamboo that keeps growing upward and rising step by step can resolve the pressure from the beam.

Taboo 2: The sofa faces the door

If the sofa is in a straight line with the door, it will form a feng shui situation called hedge, which will cause great harm to the feng shui of the home.

Solution: In this case, it is best to move the sofa away to avoid it colliding with the door. If there is no place to move it, you can only put a screen between the two (screen decoration effect picture), so that the air flowing into the house from the door will not directly hit the sofa. If the sofa faces the door, it is not a big deal and there is no need to put a screen to resolve it.

Taboo 3: There is no backrest on the sofa

When we say that there is no support behind the sofa, it does not mean that there is no backrest, but that there is no solid wall to rely on. If there is support behind, there is no worry, which is in line with the principles of Feng Shui. If there is a window, door or corridor behind the sofa, and no solid wall to rely on, it is equivalent to having no support behind, and it is empty, which is a situation of dissipation and difficult to maintain prosperity. From a modern (modern decoration effect picture) psychological point of view, if there is no support 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.

Solution: A workaround is to place a low cabinet or screen behind it to remedy the situation by creating an "artificial backrest".

Part 2: Let good luck knock on your door: Correct placement of the sofa in the living room

Understanding the taboos of placing sofas (sofa decoration renderings) can help us get rid of bad luck, so how can we usher in good luck? Let's take a look at the correct way to place the sofa in the living room.

1. The sofa should be placed in the auspicious position of the house

The sofa can be said to be the focal point of the family. The whole family sits and lies there every day. If the sofa is placed in the auspicious position of the house, the whole family can be affected by the prosperous energy and the whole family will be safe. Generally speaking, the auspicious direction of the house is 45 degrees diagonally from the living room door, facing north and south.

2. The sofa should be placed in a curved shape rather than a straight shape

The sofa plays an important role in the living room, just like an important port in a country. It must be able to receive as much water as possible to thrive. A good port must have two curved parts on both sides, shaped like the English letter "U". The curved parts are like two arms that support and embrace each other, and the concave part in the center is the Feng Shui air intake position, which can store wind and gather energy to achieve prosperity. The sofa should also be arranged like an advanced port, with one arm extending on each side.

3. The sofa should not be placed in front of a large mirror

Feng Shui emphasizes "hiding". It is not advisable to have a large mirror behind the sofa. When people sit on the sofa, others can clearly see the back of the person's head in the mirror, which is very bad. 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.

4. The sofa should not be placed under spotlights

Because the light around the sofa is sometimes weak, many people will place lighting on the top of the sofa (lighting decoration effect picture), 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 shine on the wall, it can be slightly alleviated.
