What are the Feng Shui taboos in decorating the living room of a house?

1. Orientation

The living room is best located in the front half of the home close to the door, so as to directly absorb the air entering from the door. If you have to pass through a corridor to reach the living room, the corridor must be kept tidy and well-lit to avoid blocking the flow of Qi into the living room. If it is a mezzanine house design, the living room should be located on the lower floor.

2. Layout

The layout of the living room is preferably square or rectangular. The seating area should not reach the corners of the room, and the sofa should not press against the beams. If there are hidden arrows emitted from protruding corners of the house, bonsai or furniture can be placed to neutralize them. If the living room is L-shaped, you can use furniture to divide it into two square areas and treat it as two independent rooms. For example, one area can be used as a reception room and another area as a living room. Or hang a mirror on the wall to symbolically fill in the missing corners, and then treat it as a complete room to determine the center point.

3. Adjust home decorations

Sharp objects, such as swords, firearms, medals, and animal specimens, should not be hung on the wall. Because these items can generate negative energy and lead to quarrels or violence. Likewise, table lamps or decorations with corners should be avoided.

4. Smooth air flow

The air must flow smoothly in the living room, and there should be no dead corners where dirty air can accumulate.
