Why the sofa should have a backrest, and the back should not be empty

There should be a lean behind the sofa. The so-called backing, that is, backing, means that there is a solid wall behind the sofa that is reliable, and there is no worries about it. This is in line with the Tao of Feng Shui. The chairs in the ancient courts were all made of natural marble as the back, and the patterns on them were better with faint mountain views. This is the reason.

If there are windows, doors, or passages behind the sofa, and no solid walls are reliable, it means that there is no backing behind, and it is empty. And psychologically, the back of the sofa is empty and lacks a sense of security. As the predecessors said, you can observe six directions and listen to all directions because the latter two cannot be observed. If there is a door or passage behind the sofa, you have to worry about being attacked behind you. It is better to sit with your back against a solid wall.

Taking a step back, if there is really no solid wall behind the sofa, a more effective alternative is to place a low cabinet or a screen behind the sofa. This can be called an artificial backing and will also play a remedial effect.
