1. Pay attention to the number of sets
The shape of the sofa is divided into single sofa, double sofa, long sofa and round sofa. In terms of materials, it is also divided into leather sofa, cloth sofa and so on. Made sofas, rattan sofas and traditional rosewood chairs, etc., are even more diverse in terms of colors and shapes. The number of sofa sets in the living room is particular. It is most taboo to use one and a half sets, or two types of sofas, both square and round.
2. The furnishings 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. Although some ports are missing an arm and cannot be protected from the left and right, as long as there is a bend at the place where the water flows to embrace the reverse flow, which is called "Xiaguan Sand" in Feng Shui, you can also have children and make a fortune. This is just like "Kanyu Manxing" 》says: "If a man is in trouble, he will always make a fortune."
If due to environmental constraints, the sofa cannot be supported by arms on the left and right, then you can do the next best thing and decorate it at the water level. On the other sofa, homemade Xiaguan sand is used to welcome the water flowing in from the gate, forming a water gathering situation, which is also in line with Feng Shui. The door of some houses is diagonal to the door of the balcony, so it is even more necessary to install a sand gutter at the water outlet to receive the incoming water, so as to prevent the water flowing in from the door from leaking out.
3. There should be a backrest behind the sofa
The so-called backrest, that is, a backer, means that there is a solid wall behind the sofa that is reliable. If there is a window, door or passage behind the sofa, it means there is no backing behind it. From a psychological point of view, the sofa is empty and lacks a sense of security. If there is really no reliable solid wall behind the sofa, a more effective improvement method is to place a low cabinet or screen behind the sofa. This is called an "artificial backing" and will also play a remedial role. But one thing we must pay attention to is that 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.
4. There should not be a mirror behind the sofa.
There should not be a large mirror behind the sofa. When a person sits on the sofa, others can clearly see the back of the person’s head in the mirror, which will cause great discomfort. Not good. 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.
5. Avoid beams pressing on the top of the sofa
If the bed has beams pressing on the top, only one or two people sleeping on the bed will suffer. However, if there are beams pressing on the top of the sofa, the hands will be affected. It affects a large family, so it must be avoided as much as possible. If it is really unavoidable, you can place lucky bamboos on the coffee tables on both sides of the sofa to relieve the pressure on the beams with the lucky bamboos that are constantly growing and rising step by step.
6. Do not hedge the sofa with the door
If the sofa is in a straight line with the door, it is called "hedge" in Feng Shui, which has great disadvantages. In this case, it is best to move the sofa to avoid collision with the door. If there is nowhere to move, then you have to place a screen between the two, so that the air flowing into the house from the door will not go straight to the sofa. If the sofa faces the door, there will be no serious problem, and there is no need to place a screen to resolve it.
7. There should not be direct light on the top of the sofa
Sometimes the light in the sofa area is weak, and many people will place lighting on the top of the sofa, such as tubes hidden in the ceiling. Lamps, or exposed spotlights, etc., are too close to the sofa and the light shines directly from the top of the head. In terms of environmental design, direct light from the top of the sofa will make people nervous, dizzy, and restless. This can be somewhat alleviated if the light is modified to shine towards the wall.
