Feng Shui Living Room – Creating The Right Atmosphere For Family Bonding

To be the one room in a  home that brings the entire family together is the ultimate purpose of the feng shui living room. This particular room also serves as the place where you may entertain guests. So as to make it more inviting and be an area where people gather and socialize, the space has to be transformed in a way that promotes conversation and brings people together. Basic feng shui principles should be utilized to do exactly that. A variety of techniques may be applied to this area for the aim of connecting you to the people that are important to you.

The main piece of furniture in the living room is the sofa. The sofa is where you, your loved ones and your guests sit. The position of a sofa is critical in determining how ‘qi’ or energy will flow in the living room. You will find certain positions that aren’t ideal for the sofa. In particular, if the front entrance of the home leads into the living room and is directly in line with the windows of that room, it is never a good idea to position the sofa directly in between the two. Avoid placing the back of the sofa against windows or facing a door. Also be sure there are no exposed beams on the ceiling right above where you happen to be sitting. The very best position for any sofa should be to have its back against the wall and diagonally across the door. If there happens to be other sofas and chairs in the room, arrange them together in a semi-circular shape so that the people sitting there will be able to talk amongst each other.

There happens to be many other solutions to optimize the living room to your benefit. Lighting is another important part of this room, it must be bright so make sure that there will be lots of lights besides the natural lighting that comes through the windows. Good places for lights include corners and dark areas. Since the living room is associated with the family, this should be the perfect room to display lots of family photographs. Other great home decor items that needs to be included in this area of the home are artwork and live plants. Use the bagua map to discover the best locations to place these items. Finally, besides creating a prime location for the sofa, there should be a distinct centerpiece in the living room. Typically if your house is included with a fireplace, that is required to be the centerpiece of the room. If you don’t have a fireplace however, be sure to reserve that spot for the television or home entertainment center.

Use all of these great feng shui living room tips to make the most out of this family friendly room. Besides the important techniques discussed above, you must also remember to keep the area clutter free as you would for any other important room of the house. Clutter tends to make the ‘qi’ of a room stagnant so removing unnecessary items out of the living room is necessary to free up that energy.
