Feng Shui Living Room
simply mean to decorate a living room in Feng Shui
style to allow free flow of healthy and positive life
energy or 'chi' and improve the quality of our life in
general. Feng Shui aims to help us gain perfect
harmony in our surroundings and life.
In the living room, dehumidifiers
do not find favor with Feng Shui, while any corner and alcoves are
believed to obstruct the flow of chi. Thus, you should place your
lights in such a way that there are no dark corners in your living
room and that they are also made a part of the living room by
brightening them up. Placing a beautiful piece of art or a
colorful painting there or a potted plant that has round leaves in
such spaces can make them look interesting too and help the flow
of chi.
Make sure that you never put straight plants with thorns in such
places. Wide wall spaces in the living room can be used to
accommodate a mirror that makes your living room look spacious but
they must reflect a beautiful view such as view from a window or
the fireplace. Placing your mirrors incorrectly will only promote
negative energy and can actually have opposite results. Cluttered
living rooms are not a constructive living room idea according to
Feng Shui. Do not try to accommodate too much furniture in the
living room. If you really want to decorate your living room in
Feng Shui style, your TV or sound system, should not be placed as
one of the more important pieces or their electromagnetic waves
may disrupt the flow of chi.
Feng Shui also refers to masculine energy called yin and feminine
energy called yang and seeks to balance them both. Thus,
incorporate feminine elements such as soft cushions on the floor
or the sofa and fresh flowers on the center of the table in the
living room. However, Feng Shui does not care for dried flowers
and actually forbids there use while decorating living rooms.
Decorating your living room in Feng Shui style means to promote
the feeling of calm and relaxation. It suggests that furniture
layout of the living room should be more intimate, circular at its
best. Furniture should never be pushed up against the walls and
the seating area should be so arranged that guests are comfortable
and sit facing the door.
To make sure that we are decorating living rooms, exactly
according to the living room, you can use a Ba-gua or the Feng
Shui plan that maps eight important areas of our lives, namely,
family, career, education, fame, relationships, health, children
and travel. You need to determine the direction of the house and
then superimpose the Ba-Gua on the house map to find out which
area represents what aspect of your life. Even inside the living
room, you can place the Ba-gua and decorate it appropriately to
ensure that everything goes well with you. A cactus in the wealth
corner of your home may mean a thorn in your wealth aspect while a
fish bowl or an aquarium, plants with round leaves, crystals or
wind chimes there may bring in more money into the house and get
you the desired promotion.
You must keep the entrance of your home and living room clear of
any clutter. It should have lots of light and open to welcome chi.
Never place a mirror, directly opposite the door of the living
room, so that chi is not reflected back. Avoid putting up
photographs or pictures that are not actually happy or soothing to
you as the first thing to see in the living room, as soon as you
enter the door. Instead place the photograph of happy times you
had or your most beloved person there, so that your mood lightens
up as soon as you enter your living room. Be sure to put If your
living room has an awkward shape, place mirrors strategically to
direct chi all over the living room. While wind chimes can
actually sound good and helps you to soothe your nerves, an
organized clutter-free living room with good aesthetic sense
speaks of a perfect Feng Shui living room.
