As the living room is the theme part of the entire house, many owners are more concerned about the Feng Shui layout of the living room, especially the placement of sofas, which have certain rules and taboos. As a large piece of furniture in the living room, you really need to learn Feng Shui when placing the sofa! So now let’s take a look at 8 Feng Shui taboos on sofa furnishings in the living room that cannot be ignored to help you lay out a good Feng Shui situation for your home.
1. The feng shui of the sofa should be curved rather than straight
The important position of the sofa in the living room is like an important port of the country. It must be able to absorb as much water as possible in order to thrive. A good port must have protruding bends on both sides, shaped like the "U" of the English alphabet. The outstretched bend is like two arms holding each other, and the depression in the center is the air receiving position of Feng Shui, which can store wind and gather energy to achieve prosperity of Ding and Wealth. The furnishings of the sofa should also be like an advanced harbor, with arms stretched out on both sides. If the sofas are in a straight row, it will be like a strong man with a broken arm, unable to achieve anything.
2. Avoid using one and a half sets of sofas and two sets of square and round sofas
The number of sofa sets in the living room depends on Feng Shui. Generally speaking, the shapes of sofas are divided into single, double, and Long and round sofas, etc., come in a wide variety of colors and shapes. One and a half sofas and two square sofas will affect the fortune of the entire family.
3. There must be a backrest behind the sofa
Just as Chinese architecture likes the concept of "nearing mountains and rivers", the placement of sofas in the living room also pays attention to backrests. The so-called "backing" refers to having a backing. It means that there is a solid wall behind the sofa to be reliable and there is no worries. This is in line with Feng Shui. If there is a window, door or aisle behind the sofa, it means there is no backing behind it. From a psychological point of view, this kind of sofa placement makes people feel insecure, and it is easy to make people go crazy if it is used for a long time. If there is really no reliable wall behind the sofa, you can place a low cabinet or screen behind the sofa to improve it. However, there should be no water behind the sofa, so the fish tank should not be placed behind the sofa.
4. Do not face the door directly.
The sofa in the living room faces the door, which is called a hedge in Feng Shui. It will cause the family to lose all directions; the solution: 1. Move the sofa so as not to collide with the door; 2. You can also place a screen between the two to separate the airflow into the house.
5. Avoid evil objects behind the sofa
There should be no water behind the sofa, so placing the fish tank behind the sofa is also unfavorable. In the same way, it is not good to place fish tanks and other water-filled decorations on the low cabinet behind the sofa. Of course, it would be beneficial for a sofa with no backrest to fill the space behind it with evergreen plants. There should not be 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. And if the mirror is nearby but not behind, it doesn't matter if the back of the head is not reflected in the mirror.
6. Don’t let the beams press on the top of the sofa
If the beams press on the top of the sofa, the harm should not be underestimated, and it often affects the health and fortune of the whole family. Therefore, it must be avoided when placing the sofa in the living room. The beam is pressed to the top. If it is really unavoidable, you can place two pots of lucky bamboo on the coffee table on both sides of the sofa, and use the lucky bamboos that continue to grow and rise step by step to bear the weight of the beam.
7. The sofa should not be directly illuminated by lights
When the light around the sofa is relatively weak, many people may like to install downlights or exposed spotlights on the ceiling. However, this kind of decorative lights usually shines directly from people's heads, which is against Feng Shui and should be avoided as much as possible. From the perspective of environmental design, direct light shining above the head of the sofa will often have some adverse effects on people's mental state.
8. Place five sofas without leaning on each other
A does not rely on water (there is water directly behind); B does not rely on fire (there is a kitchen behind); C does not rely on filth ( Toilets, etc.); D does not rely on movement (back walkways, elevators, etc.); E does not rely on evil spirits (things or shapes with evil spirits). These five factors are important factors in determining the feng shui of a sofa. After achieving these, and then placing the sofa in accordance with the owner's auspiciousness, it will be auspicious.
