How to put the sofa in the living room

The sofa is an appliance used for daily rest, chatting and meeting guests in the living room, and the usage rate is very high. Therefore, it occupies a very important position in residential feng shui.

The placement of the sofa has the following requirements.

1. One set is better

The shape of the sofa is divided into single sofa, double sofa, long sofa, curved ruler, round sofa and so on. In terms of materials, there are leather sofas, cloth sofas, rattan sofas, and traditional rosewood chairs. In terms of colors and shapes, there are even more designs. The number of sofa sets in the living room is exquisite, and one and a half sets, or the use of two sets of sofas in a square circle are the best.

The sofa is best placed in the Kyrgyz side of the house, because it is a place for a family to sit and sleep daily, and it can be said to be the focus of the family. If it is placed in the auspicious position, the whole family can be affected by the prosperity of this direction and family Ankang. But if it is wrongly placed in an unlucky position, the whole family will suffer from it, and it will make the family restless.

For the East Four House, the sofa should be placed in the four auspicious positions of the living room, namely, due east, southeast, due south, and true north. For the West Four House, the sofa should be placed in the four auspicious positions of the southwest, west, northwest and northeast of the living room. If you divide it carefully, although the same is the Dongsi Zhai, it is divided into the east, the southeast, the south and the north; while the Xisi Zhai is the same, but there are the southwest, the west, the northwest and the northeast. .

2. The sofa is best to have a backing

The so-called "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. We sometimes see some old wooden chairs, and there is a faint mountain view in the back and the flowers on them. This is the reason.

If there are windows, doors, and passages behind the sofa, and no solid walls are reliable, it means that there is no backing behind, and it is empty. It is a situation of dispersal and it is difficult to make money.

And from the psychological aspect, the sofa is empty behind, and there is no sense of security. The predecessors said that "seeing six directions, hearing all directions" is because the latter two cannot be observed. If the sofa is behind the door or passage, it is even more important. To worry about being attacked behind your back, it is better to sit back and rest on 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.

However, it must be noted that there should be no water behind the sofa, so placing the fish tank behind the sofa is a feng shui taboo. For the same reason, it is not appropriate to place fish tanks, feng shui wheels and other decorative items with water on the low cabinet behind the sofa. Of course, for a sofa with no backing at the back, it would be beneficial and harmless to fill the space behind with evergreen plants.

3. Avoid pressing the top of the crossbeam on the sofa

The bed has a beam topping, and only one or two people sleeping on the bed are injured. However, if there is a beam topping on the sofa, the family will be affected and the impact will be great, so it must be avoided as much as possible. If it is indeed unavoidable, two pots of lucky bamboo can be placed on the coffee table on both sides of the sofa, so that the lucky bamboo that continuously grows and rises step by step can bear the damage of the top beam.

4. Do not hedge the sofa with the door

If the sofa is in line with the door, Feng Shui will call it a "hedging", which will cause serious disadvantages and cause loss of family and wealth. In this case, it’s best to move the sofa away so as not to conflict with the door. If there is nowhere to move it, you can place a screen between the two, so that the suffocating air flowing from the door into the house will be reduced. Will not go straight to the sofa, the family will not be washed away and get together, and the wealth will not leak out. And if the sofa is facing the door, it will not be a big problem.

5. The sofa should have armrests

The important position of the sofa in the living room is like a good port. It must be able to receive as much water as possible before it can thrive.

A good port must have protruding bends on both sides, shaped like a U, and the protruding bends are like two arms holding around, and the center depression is the feng shui position for receiving air, which can trap wind and gather air. Achieve prosperity and prosperity.

The armrests of the sofa should be the same as the harbor of Antai, with an arm extended on each side. If the sofas are straight across in a row, it is like a strong man with a broken arm, it is difficult to do anything.

Although some ports lack an arm and cannot be protected from left and right, as long as there is a bend in the place where the water goes to the water, which is called "Xiaguansha" in Feng Shui, you can also make a fortune.

If the sofa cannot be supported by “arms” on the left and right due to environmental constraints, then you can put another sofa at the water level and make your own “Xiaguan sand” to welcome the water flowing in from the gate and form a water gathering situation. , This is also in line with Feng Shui. The doors of some houses and the balcony doors form a diagonal line. In addition to setting up entrances, "Xiaguan sand" must be placed at the water outlet to welcome incoming water, so as to prevent the water flowing in from the door from leaking.

6. It is not advisable to have direct light 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 the downlight hidden on the ceiling or the spotlight exposed outside. Because it is too close to the sofa, it will often shine directly from the top of the head. This is against Feng Shui, so it should be avoided as much as possible. In terms of environmental design, direct light on the top of the sofa will often make people nervous, dizzy, and restless. If you change the light to the wall, it can be slightly relieved.

7. It is not advisable to have a mirror behind the back of the sofa

Someone would hang a mirror on the wall in order to make the living room look more transparent and spacious. In fact, as far as feng shui is concerned, mirrors are very powerful because they have a reflective effect, so they should not be hung up casually.

It is not advisable to have a large mirror behind the sofa. People sitting on the sofa can clearly see the back of the person’s head in the mirror, which is even worse. This will lead to a loss of soul and mental restlessness. And if the mirror is on the side and not behind, the back of the head will not be reflected in the mirror, that’s fine.

Good luck tips

It may seem simple to place the sofa according to the direction of the house, but it is a university question. It’s best to know the direction of luck for one’s house: Dongsi House, which are Kan House (sit north to south), Li House (sit south to north), Zhen House (sit east to west), and Xun House (sit southeast). Northwest). The four houses in the west are Ganzhai (sit northwest to southeast), Duizhai (sit west to east), Genzhai (sit northeast to southwest), and Kunzhai (sit southwest to northeast).
