Location and orientation of the living room
Feng shui experts believe that the living room is the most important space in a house. Therefore, it is important to arrange the living room in a central location, right in front of the bedroom and close to the main entrance. The living room will be the largest space in the house, helping to circulate and harmonize the life force.
To determine the orientation of the living room, you should rely on the Bagua and the destiny of the homeowner. For example, if the homeowner’s destiny is Earth, the best orientation for the living room is Southeast or Northeast. The living room should also face an open space such as a garden or a beautiful landscape. Not only does it create a relaxing atmosphere, but it also brings prosperity to the family.
Choosing colors and lighting
Modern living room designs often prefer neutral and simple colors such as light blue, gray, white, etc. Not only do they create a sense of spaciousness, but these colors also serve as a background if you want to create accents with colorful furniture.
When choosing colors according to feng shui, you should choose those that correspond to the destiny of the homeowner. Accordingly, each element in the Five Elements will have 4 levels of colors including generating, cooperating, restraining, and being restrained. The most suitable colors for each destiny are as follows:
– Destiny of Metal: White, metallic colors, gold.
– Destiny of Wood: Green.
– Destiny of Water: Seawater blue, navy blue, black.
– Destiny of Fire: Red, pink, purple, orange.
– Destiny of Earth: Brown, earthy orange, earthy yellow.
In addition, the living room should be designed to be airy and prioritize natural light rather than relying too much on artificial lighting systems. Harmonious lighting arrangement also helps enhance positive feelings and improve the health of family members.
Choosing and arranging furniture
Choosing and arranging furniture that ensures both aesthetics and feng shui harmony helps create a favorable impression for visiting guests. To do this, you should pay attention to the following details:
Sofa set
According to feng shui, when arranging the living room sofa set, both guests and homeowners should be able to face the main entrance, without sitting opposite or with their backs to the main entrance.
The size of the sofa set depends on the size of the room, choose according to suitability and comfort. Avoid using single chairs or setting up multiple sofa sets and furniture in the room as it can disrupt family relationships according to feng shui.
Altar
The altar placed in the living room according to feng shui principles should be oriented towards the west-northwest direction to help harmonize yin and yang. In addition, the altar should be placed against a wall to create stability. Do not place the altar above or below the bathroom or near the bedrooms of young children as it will undermine respect.
