How to position furniture in your living room?

The essence of a good Feng Shui is always related to a positive energy flow.

Once we understand how energy circulates and moves around the space, we are able to apply some principles concerning the layout and the placement of furniture.

So generally, in order to achieve a more balanced environment in your living room, try following these recommendations: 

– Place your sofa with a solid wall behind your back, this way you will be getting support and protection;

– If that’s not possible, you can place a strong piece of furniture behind the sofa for improving a bit the back support;

– Always try to have a good visibility to the door, watching clearly as people enter this space;

– Avoid sitting with your back to a door or window, this might cause situations of being caught off guard and exposed to air blasts;

– A more open living room with less obstacles, brings a positive sense of space and luminosity;

– Place your furniture with special attention to the circulation so that the energy flows without haste as if to meander the space;

– Finally, watch closely if where you are seated, has something sharped pointing at you and keep away from this harmful energy.

The role of the kitchen in the house is extremely important.

For Feng Shui practitioners, we must pay special attention to this space if we are to achieve balance and harmony in our homes, and consequently in some aspects of our life.

According to this ancient system, the elements of water and fire converge in a very real way in the kitchen, hence its energetic strength, so let’s see:

🔥Fire- is represented by stoves, microwaves and ovens.

💧Water- is represented by the refrigerator, sink , washing machine or dishwasher.

As water and fire are opposite elements, they should not be together or face to face,
however, if this is not feasible, it would be good to place wooden objects between them, for example a wooden cutting board, adding tree element to harmonize the energetic flow.

In terms of decor, avoid lots of objects and colors and use also the other elements such as Earth and Metal, this way you will be avoiding unbalance of too much fire and water energy.

Feng Shui for today

As it is practiced today, Feng Shui gives us information on how to create environments in which we feel comfortable and supported.

But if we go back to ancient methods, Feng Shui is basically an environmental science and its origins are quite simple.

It began by relying on an interpretation of the natural world that allowed the Chinese to create efficient agricultural systems, as well as the study of the movement of celestial bodies in order to determine the passage of time.

Over the centuries, interpretation has become increasingly complex and has moved away from its original purpose.

As its scholars have spread across the
worldwide, their beliefs have also been changing, in order to adapt to the cultures and customs of other places.

So remember that when practicing Feng Shui , this knowledge will also allow you to create a deeper impact in a wider environment, improving life inside our homes, offices and outdoor spaces, but also in our first home, Planet Earth.
