The living room is an integral part of your home. Whether you are living in an apartment or in a bungalow, the living room is important because it is the hub of social as well as family gatherings. This is also a place where everyone loves to spend their leisure hours by watching their favorite TV programs or by chatting with their family.

Why Bother for Feng Shui?

The living room may be an essential part of your home but it is also a vulnerable part. It is considered vulnerable because it is the first room that everyone goes into as soon as they enter the room. Even Qi or energy is not exempted from this.

Sha Qi or the fast-moving energy is not a lucky kind of energy according to Chinese culture. The other type, one that’s slow, is also not a good kind of energy so, you would need something to interfere with these negative energies.

Loss of money, wealth and social reputation are all results of uninterrupted energies coming in through the living room.

Steps to Good Feng Shui in the Living Room

First, be sure to set up a living room that is pleasant and comfortable. To do this, the room must receive ample sunlight and must also be well-ventilated.

Next, have the sofa propped against one solid wall. You don’t have to set it up in such a way that it touches the wall, leave a distance of about one to two inches. As you sit in your main sofa, make sure that you are directly looking at the living room door. If this is not possible, then have a mirror placed so that the reflection of the door is seen from where you are seated.

If there is also an amazing landscape outdoors, then be sure to hang a mirror that will reflect it. This will bring in a lot of positive Qi into the living room.

The third step is to place a bowl of crystals or coins, anything that would symbolize wellness and wealth, on the coffee table.

Fourth, do not forget to hang posters or images that show positive and lively people or places.

Now let’s learn about the directions that need elements in their respective places. In the north side of your living room, be sure to display an aquarium that is filled with eight red and a single blackfish. Having a water feature in this area will also be lucky.

As for the south, you can place wood elements such as wood furniture and fire elements such as candles. Use more orange, green and red colors here.

There are also things to avoid when you are setting up a lucky living room –

First, never place a sofa against a window or under a beam. If you ever set up a mirror, then make sure that it will not reflect clutter or dirt as these will bring negative energies to your home. Avoid hanging photos that show negative emotions like a crying person, pictures of war or crimes, etc. It is also not advisable to hang or even just keep a painting of a turbulent sea as this depicts struggle of some kind.

Never keep any plants in the north, southwest or the northeast parts of the living room. As for a mirror, do not place one right where you can see yourself while you’re standing in the doorway.

Conclusion

Now that you have an artillery of do’s and don’ts for the Feng Shui living room, you should be able to set up the room in such a way that the energies that come and go are the best kind. As you do this, share it with people who are also interested to know.
