1. Don’t hedge against the door
If the sofa is in a straight line with the door, it is called "hedge" in Feng Shui. This has great disadvantages and will lead to loss of family members and scattered wealth. In this case, it is best to move the sofa so as not to collide with the door. If there is nowhere to move it, then you have to place a screen between the two. In this way, the air flowing into the house from the door will be blocked. You will not rush straight to the sofa, your family will not be separated and you can get together, and your wealth will not be leaked. If the sofa faces the door, there is no serious problem. There is no need to dodge left and right, and there is no need to place a screen to resolve it.
2. Avoid the overhead beams
L-shaped sofas should not be placed where there are beams. Feng Shui means that family members will be haunted by nightmares and their fortunes will be affected. If you want to avoid this, you can place Kai Lun Bamboo on the coffee tables on both sides of the sofa. Kai Lun Bamboo means rising step by step and can resolve the pressure on the beams.
3. It is best not to have direct lights on the top of the sofa
Sometimes the light in the sofa area is weak, and many people will install lighting on the top of the sofa, such as those hidden in the ceiling. Downlights or exposed spotlights, etc., are too close to the sofa and often cause direct light from the top of the head. This is against Feng Shui, so it should be avoided as much as possible. And from the perspective of environmental design, direct light shining above the head of the sofa often makes people nervous, dizzy, and restless. This can be alleviated somewhat if you redirect the light towards the wall.
4. Avoid using beams on the top of the sofa
This is a taboo in Feng Shui when placing a sofa in the living room. If there is a beam directly above the sofa, it is a beam on the top. The following people have great influence and should be avoided as much as possible. One workaround is to wrap the beams during decoration. The second is to place two pots of lucky bamboo on the coffee tables on both sides of the sofa to bear the weight of the beams.
