What are the taboos in Feng Shui when placing the sofa in the living room?
1. Sofa placement
The important position of the sofa in the living room is like an important port of the country. It must be able to absorb as much water as possible in order to thrive. A good port must have protruding bends on both sides, shaped like the "U" of the English alphabet. The outstretched bend is like two arms holding the left and right arms, and the central depression is the air receiving position of Feng Shui, which can hide the wind and gather the air to achieve prosperity of Ding and Wealth.
2. Do not hedge the sofa with the door
If the sofa is in a straight line with the door, it is called "hedge" in Feng Shui, which has great disadvantages. In this case, it is best to move the sofa to avoid collision with the door. If there is nowhere to move, then you have to place a screen between the two, so that the air flowing into the house from the door will not go straight to the sofa. If the sofa faces the door, there will be no serious problem, and there is no need to place a screen to resolve it.
3. Avoid beams pressing on the top of the sofa
If the bed has beams pressing on the top, only one or two people sleeping on the bed will suffer. However, if there are beams pressing on the top of the sofa, the hands will be affected. It affects a large family, so it must be avoided as much as possible. If it is really unavoidable, you can place lucky bamboos on the coffee tables on both sides of the sofa to relieve the pressure on the beams with the lucky bamboos that continue to grow and rise step by step.
4. The sofa should be against the wall
The so-called backing means that there is a solid wall behind the sofa that is reliable. If there is a window, door or passage behind the sofa, it means there is no backing behind it. From a psychological point of view, the sofa is empty and lacks a sense of security. If there is really no reliable solid wall behind the sofa, a more effective improvement method is to place a low cabinet or screen behind the sofa. This is called an "artificial backing" and will also play a remedial role.
5. There should not be a mirror behind the sofa.
There should not be a large mirror behind the sofa. When a person sits on the sofa, others can clearly see the back of the person’s head in the mirror, which will cause great discomfort. Not good. And if the mirror is nearby but not behind, it doesn't matter if the back of the head is not reflected in the mirror.

7. Pay attention to the number of sofa sets
The shape of the sofa is divided into single sofa, double sofa, long sofa and round sofa. In terms of materials, it is also divided into leather sofa, Fabric sofas, rattan sofas and traditional rosewood chairs are available in a wide variety of colors and shapes. The number of sofa sets in the living room is particular. It is most taboo to use one and a half sets, or two types of sofas, both square and round.
