Furnishing your living room according to feng shui
Let's start with the colour scheme. If you want to furnish your living room in accordance with feng shui, pastels, creams and whites are perfect. Stylish accents can then be set in the colours orange, red and yellow. However, you should keep the main thing you want to do in your living room in mind. Is it a room where you can talk and eat comfortably, or is it more of a place to relax? If your living room is also the dining room, red and orange tones are particularly suitable.
As with the bedroom, you should definitely put the sofa and the living room wall against the wall so that your eyes fall into the room. With the wall behind you, you'll quickly find that you feel more at home and secure. If there is no way for you to put the sofa on the wall, you should place a piece of furniture or decorative items behind the sofa. This also gives you a safer feeling. A plant or a chest of drawers are suitable for this purpose. You can create even more harmony with a U-shaped sofa, because it allows you to sit in a semicircle with your loved ones. This ensures proximity and more well-being for you and your guests. Because, unlike a L-shaped sofa, this seating arrangement does not exclude anyone from the cosy circle. According to feng shui, it is important that the centre of the living room remains free. This way the chi can flow undisturbed, spread out and strengthen the inhabitants. To prevent the room from looking too empty, round rugs for the centre, which harmoniously integrate into the overall picture, are suitable. It is important that you use colours which are already present in the room. No matter what the furnishing style, rugs create a cosy atmosphere and enhance the entire living area. A rug does not just look great in the middle of the room, but also under a coffee table.
Unlike in the bedroom, you can hang mirrors in your living room. This makes the room look bigger.
Cabinets are particularly suitable for providing enough storage space. But as they bring the peace you have created in the living room out of balance with their corners and edges, you should place a plant in front of a corner of the cabinet to round it off optically. To make it easier for energy to flow through any room, remove blockages and keep doors open. Of course, this does not include the entrance and bathroom door. Also, in the entrance area, there should not be a mirror opposite the door. This reflects the chi.
