In terms of location, the placement of the dining table should be convenient for people to move around and use, but the following points should also be noted:
Dining table It is not advisable to face the door. If it is unavoidable, you can use the entrance hall or screen to block it, so that the visitors will not directly face the dining table, which is unsightly.
The dining table should not be facing the toilet door. This is to prevent the dirty yin energy accumulated in the toilet from entering the body when eating and affecting human health. If it is impossible to remove it, it is best to place a small water dish in the middle of the dining table and soak it in iron tree or lucky bamboo to resolve it.
The dining table should not be aimed at the altar. Yin and Yang have different paths, and immortals and mortals are different. The table where mortals eat should not be too close to the altar. If you are worshiping gods such as Guanyin and Buddha who abstain from killing animals and are vegetarians, it will look out of place when compared with a dining table that serves only meat and vegetables for three meals.
Avoid placing beams on top of the dining table. The roof above the dining table should be flat and intact. If there are beams pressing down on the top or stairs or a sloping roof, it will damage the health of the family and make the home uneasy.
If there are beams weighing down the ceiling or the roof is missing, it is best to move the dining table or use the ceiling to make up for it; if the dining table is under the stairs, you can place two pots of lucky bamboo under the stairs to resolve the issue.
White candle-shaped chandeliers should not be placed on the dining table. White candles are a symbol of mourning. Some chandeliers are composed of several white candle-shaped light tubes. Although the design is novel, hanging it above the dining table is not a good omen and should be avoided. It's okay if it's in other colors.
