1. There should be a backrest behind the sofa: The so-called backing, that is, a backer, means that there is a solid wall behind the sofa that is reliable and has no worries. This is in line with Feng Shui. The chairs used in the palace in the previous dynasties all used natural marble as the back, and the patterns on them were preferably with mountain views faintly visible. This is why.
And from a psychological point of view, there is no space behind the sofa, and there is no sense of security. As the ancients said, the eyes can see in six directions and the ears can listen in all directions. Because the latter two paths cannot be observed, if there is a door or passage behind the sofa, you have to worry about being attacked from behind. It is better to sit with your back against a solid wall and feel at ease.
Taking a step back, if there is really no reliable solid wall behind the sofa, a more effective workaround is to place a low cabinet or screen behind the sofa. This can be called an artificial backing and will also have the effect of Remedy.
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 a Feng Shui taboo. Similarly, it is not appropriate to place water-based decorations such as fish tanks and feng shui wheels on the low cabinet behind the sofa. Of course, it would be beneficial if evergreen plants were used to fill the space behind a sofa with no backrest.
2. The sofa must avoid having beams on top of it: If the bed has beams on top, only one or two people sleeping on the bed will suffer. However, if there are beams on the sofa, the entire family will be affected. It is very large, so it must be avoided as much as possible. 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 are constantly growing and rising step by step to bear the weight of the beam.
