In feng shui, every corner of the house holds a special meaning, influencing the luck and fortune of the occupants. The coffee table, a gathering spot for conversations and entertaining guests, plays a crucial role in maintaining harmony and inviting good luck.
1. Placing sharp objects on the coffee table
It is a common practice for many families to leave knives, scissors, or even sharp objects like nails and sewing needles on the coffee table. This is a major taboo in feng shui. Knives and scissors symbolize killing intent, division, and conflict. Placing them in a central location like the guest-welcoming table not only disrupts the flow of energy in the house but also creates a tense and uncomfortable atmosphere for those facing them. Over time, this can lead to conflicts among family members, and any wealth that comes in will soon disappear, draining blessings without one’s knowledge.
2. Displaying bills and debt paperwork
Some people have a habit of temporarily leaving utility bills, loan papers, or other financial documents on the coffee table as a reminder to pay them. However, from a feng shui perspective, this action is akin to inviting bad luck into the living room.
The coffee table represents hospitality, family gatherings, and positive energy. Displaying debt-related paperwork here is like inviting financial pressure and money troubles into your home. Over time, the occupants may find themselves in a constant state of financial struggle, where money earned never seems enough, and debt becomes a never-ending cycle.
3. Placing withered plants, fake flowers, or faded decorations
A lush green plant or a vibrant flower arrangement can bring life and cheer to any room. However, if you place withered plants, dusty fake flowers, or old, chipped decorations on your coffee table, you inadvertently create negative energy.
Wilted plants symbolize decay and decline, while fake flowers, though beautiful, represent deceit and lack of vitality. Faded decorations evoke a sense of gloom, laziness, and stagnation. These elements collectively contribute to the depletion of positive energy, repelling wealth and good fortune, and pushing the family towards a state of gloom and stagnation in all aspects.
A prosperous home begins with a harmonious, cozy, and tidy living space. The coffee table, being the focal point of hospitality, is the “face” of the family. Pay attention to what you place on it. By keeping it neat and avoiding the three major taboos mentioned above, you will find that the energy in your home improves, inviting wealth and blessings into your life. A clean house brings peace, and peace attracts prosperity.
