The sofa is one of the most important pieces of furniture in a living room. Aside from providing comfort, it also plays a significant role in feng shui, so careful consideration is necessary when arranging it.
Placing the sofa directly opposite the main door is a common feng shui mistake.
When the sofa is aligned with the main door, it creates an unstable energy flow, negatively impacting the occupants, especially those who frequently sit there. Potential issues include:
Financial setbacks: This arrangement can block wealth and luck.
Lack of family harmony: Family members may be less inclined to stay at home, leading to a lack of communication and a strained family dynamic.
A sense of insecurity: Unstable energy can lead to poor decision-making.
Busy yet unproductive: Hard work may not yield financial success or recognition.
How to remedy the “Sofa directly facing the main door” issue:
– Move the sofa to a different position
This is the simplest and most effective solution. If possible, rearrange the sofa to avoid a direct line with the main door.
– Place a screen or divider between the sofa and the main door
If space constraints make it impossible to move the sofa, consider placing a large screen or divider (opaque or translucent) between the sofa and the door to block the direct energy flow. Alternatively, a tall plant or an additional foyer at the entrance can help mitigate the issue.
– Place five imperial coins at the main door entrance
If moving the sofa or placing a screen is not feasible due to space limitations, you can use five imperial coins to reduce the impact of negative energy entering from outside. These coins are from the early Qing Dynasty, a period of prosperity and wealth, and are often used by feng shui masters to attract wealth and luck.
To place the coins, stand outside your main door, facing outwards, and arrange the five coins from left to right in this order: Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing.
