The number of sets is exquisite: pedicure sofas are divided into single person sofa, loveseat, long sofa, rectangular sofa and round sofa. In terms of materials, it is also divided into leather sofas, fabric sofas, rattan sofas, traditional sour branch chairs and so on. In terms of color and shape, it is even more varied. The number of sofas in the living room is exquisite, and one and a half sets are the most taboo, or two sofas in Fiona Fang are used together.
Sofa must be placed on the auspicious side of the house: sofa can be said to be the focus of the family, because it is a family-sized daily sitting and lying place. If placed in an auspicious direction, all families, old and young, can be infected by the prosperity in this direction and have a healthy family. But if you put it in the wrong unlucky direction, the whole family, old and young, will suffer and the family will not be at peace.
For Dongsi House, the sofa should be placed in the four auspicious directions of due east, southeast, south and north of the living room. For Xisi House, the sofa should be placed in the southwest, due west, northwest and northeast of the living room. If carefully divided, although they are all East Fourth Hospital, they can be divided into East, Southeast, South and North. They are all West Fourth Hospital, but they can be divided into southwest, west, northwest and northeast.
There should be support behind the sofa: the so-called support means that there is a solid wall behind the sofa that is reliable and has no worries, which is in line with Feng Shui. It is for this reason that natural marble is chosen as the backrest for the chairs used in the courts in past dynasties, and the patterns on it had better have a faint mountain view.
If there are windows, doors and passages behind the sofa and there is no solid wall to rely on, it means that there is no backer behind it, it is empty and it is difficult to make a fortune.
And psychologically, the back of the sofa is empty and insecure. As the predecessors said, "Look from all directions and listen from all directions". Because you can't observe the last two roads, if there is a door or passage behind the sofa, you should be more worried about being attacked behind it. It is best to sit with your back against a solid wall and feel very comfortable.
To take a step back, if there is no reliable and effective substitute behind the sofa, you can put a low cabinet or screen behind the sofa, which can be called "artificial backer" and will also play a remedial role.
But it must be noted that there can't be water behind the sofa, so putting the fish tank behind the sofa is a no-no. In the same way, the low cabinet behind the sofa should not be equipped with decorative furnishings with water such as fish tanks and feng shui wheels. Of course, if the sofa without support at the back is full of evergreen plants, it is also beneficial and harmless.
Sofa should avoid beam coping: there is a beam coping in the bed, which only hurts one or two people sleeping in the bed, but if there is a beam coping in the sofa, it will affect the size of the family and have a great impact, so it must be avoided as far as possible. If it is inevitable, you can put two pots of lucky bamboo on the coffee table on both sides of the sofa, and use the growing lucky bamboo to bear the top of the beam.
Don't hedge the sofa with the gate: if the sofa is in line with the gate, it is called "hedging" in Feng Shui, and its disadvantages are considerable, which will lead to the loss of family members and the dispersion of wealth. In this case, it is best to move the sofa to avoid colliding with the door. If there is no place to move, a screen must be placed between them. In this way, the air flowing into the house from the gate will not go straight to the sofa, the family will not get together, and the wealth will not be leaked. But if the sofa is facing the door, the problem is not big, and there is no need to flash left and right, and there is no need to put a screen to solve it.
Sofa layout should be curved rather than straight: Sofa plays an important role in the living room, just like the main port of the country, it must be able to receive as much water as possible to flourish. A good port must have convex bends on both sides, which are shaped like a U-shaped letter. The convex bends are like two arms hugging each other, and the central depression is the receiving position of Feng Shui, which can hide wind and gather gas to achieve prosperity in Ding and Cai.
The sofa should also be decorated like a high-class harbor, with one arm sticking out on each side. If the sofa is straight, like a strong man with a broken arm, it is difficult to do anything.
Although some ports lack an arm, they can't protect their left and right sides, but as long as there is a bend in the water, they can withstand the current, which is called "Xiaguan Sand" in geomantic omen.
If the sofa can't be supported from left to right due to environmental restrictions, then you can settle for the second best, and set up another sofa on the horizontal plane to make "Xiaguan Sand" to meet the water flowing in from the gate, forming a water gathering bureau, which is also in line with Feng Shui. In some houses, the door is diagonal to the balcony door. In addition to setting the porch, it is necessary to set the "Xiaguan Sand" at the outlet to welcome the incoming water and prevent the water flowing in from the door from leaking completely.
There can't be direct light on the top of the sofa: sometimes the light in the sofa is weak, so many people will install lighting on the top of the sofa, such as downlights hidden in the ceiling or spotlights exposed outside. Because it is too close to the sofa, it often forms direct light overhead, which is contrary to Feng Shui and should be avoided as much as possible. And from the perspective of environmental design, there is direct light above the sofa, which often makes people nervous, dizzy and restless. If the light changes to the wall, it can be relieved a little.
Don't have a mirror behind the sofa: Some people hang a mirror on the wall to make the living room look more transparent and spacious. In fact, in Feng Shui, mirrors can't be hung casually because they reflect light.
There should not be a big mirror behind the sofa. People sitting on the sofa, others can clearly see the back of the head of the sitting person from the mirror, which is very bad and will lead to listlessness and fidgeting. And if the mirror is not at the back, the back of the head will not reflect from the mirror, which is just as well.
