What should you pay attention to when it comes to coffee table feng shui?
1. In Feng Shui, the sofa should be tall as the host, and the coffee table should be short as the guest. If the coffee table is too large, it will take over the host, which is not a good sign. When choosing a coffee table, try to avoid the coffee table being higher than the sofa to avoid making the family restless. The size and proportion of the coffee table should match the sofa, and the guests and hosts should be harmonious. It will not be an eyesore and is in line with Feng Shui.
2. The best coffee table shapes are rectangular, oval and round. Remember not to use coffee tables with sharp corners. Nowadays, many young friends like coffee tables with unique shapes. However, from a Feng Shui perspective, too unique shapes are actually not good and can easily affect the fortune of the home. Nowadays, some coffee tables with landscape fish and fish farming functions often distract the attention of people talking, so this type of coffee table should not be placed.
3. The material of the coffee table should be selected based on the owner’s numerology, five elements, and industry, so as to be more conducive to the owner’s fortune. Generally speaking, the most commonly used coffee tables are made of stone or wood, which can be used as a symbol of weight and power to bring good luck.
4. The color of the coffee table should be reasonably selected according to the owner’s numerology, zodiac, etc., so as to be in line with Feng Shui. If your numerology likes wood, you can choose green coffee tables; if you like fire, you can choose red or purple coffee tables; if you like water, you can choose black or blue coffee tables; if you like gold, you can choose white coffee tables. If you like earth, you can choose coffee tables in the yellow and khaki series.
What’s the point of placing a coffee table?
1. In the living room, the coffee table is usually placed next to or in front of the sofa. When choosing a coffee table, the principle should be low and flat. If you are sitting on the sofa and the coffee table is no higher than your knees, then this is the ideal coffee table height. In addition, the coffee table must be placed at a sufficient distance from the sofa. If the distance between the sofa and the coffee table is too close, there will be a lot of inconvenience.
2. In Feng Shui, the coffee table cannot be placed under the beam, as this will cause all the evil spirits from the beam to attach to the coffee table. The coffee table is full of evil spirits, and the family members sit around. Over time, the evil spirits will invade the human body, causing the body's vitality to dissipate, causing family members to feel in a trance, suffer from physical diseases, and have bad luck. Therefore, be sure to avoid placing the coffee table under the beam.
3. The door is the vent in Feng Shui and the entrance for wealth. When the fortune comes, if the outdoor airflow enters the living room through the door and faces the coffee table, it will block the smooth operation of the airflow. Intermittent airflow is an ominous sign, which will cause the family's fortune to decline and the family members to suffer from illness. Therefore, the coffee table must be placed to avoid Situation opposite the gate.
4. In Feng Shui, the toilet is a dirty place with strong Yin energy, while the coffee table is necessary for leisure and entertainment and needs to be kept pure and clean. If the coffee table is facing the toilet, it will be affected by the filthy air over time and accumulate a lot of bad luck. If you often sit around the coffee table, it will be very detrimental to your health and fortune, especially the career fortune of the male owner. Therefore, the coffee table should also avoid flushing directly into the toilet.
