Living Room Feng Shui Ideas

Place the sofa in the corner which is farthest from the door and windows and make sure the sofa is clearly visible and provides a clear view of the door.

Do not allow space in between the wall and sofa. Wall is essential for providing security & protection to the members in the Feng Shui house. Don't place the sofa in front of a window or directly opposite the door. Since energy flows between the door & window, it would restrict the path of your guests.

Make sure you do not have lights or beams directly above the sofa as this would release the flow of negative energy.

Use of screens & partitions to influence the energy flow is highly recommended. This way the flow of energy can be directed to another part of the room.

While watching TV in your Feng Shui living room, try to sit on the red colour sofas as it promotes harmony and health for everyone living under one's roof. The colour red is considered to be very auspicious colour for all the family members who promote good overall health for everyone.

Put a dragon tortoise in the northern side of your living room for protection and good fortune. The dragon tortoise protects and supports your ideas and represents longevity.

Placing a laughing Buddha can promote good Fengshui for your home to make you enjoy good wealth & prosperity. This denotes that all the members living in the family will be happy and in a perpetual good mood.

Under the Feng Shui living room colours we can consider red to be the most appropriate one as Chinese people believe that the colour red and its various shades bring luck and warmth to a house. They also believe that luck & prosperity & everything good in the world travels on waves of healthy energy.

Try to keep your curtains of living room closed at night. Don't leave your windows get exposed at night as it is considered to bring bad luck. While choosing windows octagonal & arched windows are considered to be good Feng Shui items.

An mportant thing to evaluate is the chairs and couches position. Ideally, they should be facing the door, or at least never with their backs towards it. People who are in feng shui living rooms should always be able to see the door from where they are sitting without having to turn for it. Seats should also be placed following a octagonal or circular shape.

Corners or dark areas should be lightening up through the use or combination of clear colors, plants, mirrors or light. That would attract chi to them which otherwise wouldn't flow through those areas. It is important that chi is able to flow through all the living room space, among the furniture and in the corners as well.

The television or any other metal based objects should not have a central position in your feng shui living room. A fireplace would be an ideal element to have as room center and, in case you have it, you should place the furniture based on where it is placed. It is important that the living room should invite people to have good conversation and should make them feel comfortable and relaxed in it.

Mirrors are an important element to have into account in a feng shui living room. A mirror strategically placed can have many advantages; it can bring more light to a specific spot or reflect a symbolic element in it. It can also make the room look wider and can be used to reflect the door allowing to see it from a chosen spot.

The feng shui living room's main table should be tidy and invite people to sit at it. Besides, this table symbolizes health and therefore it should be clean and neat. Placing natural flowers or plants on it would also be good for the health of the people who sits at it.
