Feng Shui Living RoomYour feng shui living room needs to be a warm, welcoming and
happy place in which to entertain and for your family to gather
together. Whatever style of Feng Shui décor you choose, whether it be
formal, casual, traditional or contemporary, your living room affects
your friendships, family relationships and your success.The
feng shui living room is the most public part of your home, It is the
liveliest room so the qi needs to flow in a lively fashion. It is a
yang room so take care to add touches of yin softness such as scatter
cushions, and also coolness, like leafy, green plants.The best
orientation is the one that captures the most sun. It should face
towards the south (In the southern hemisphere it should be face north),
For an early rising family it should have a easterly aspect and a
westerly aspect for one that likes to stay up late.If your
living room doesn't have the ideal orientation, you can adjust the feng
shui by other means. Bright, cheerful colors will make it livelier. A
tropical fish tank will add a restful focal point while the movement of
the colorful fish will help to stimulate qi.The shape and size of the furniture in your feng shui living room
should reflect the dimensions and the shape of the room. If your pieces
of furniture are too large the flow of qi will be disrupted causing you
to feel uncomfortable. If you have a square shaped room, use a square,
round or octagonal table. If the room is rectangular use a rectangular
table.How you place your furniture will have a huge affect on
how well on how well your feng shui living room works. Where possible,
place furniture against the four walls. Avoid placing chairs in a
position that puts the persons back to a full-length window or door as
it gives the feeling of insecurity. Chairs should be placed to
encourage a free flow of movement for people and qi, as well as for
conversation. Take care not to place chairs between two opposite
openings. The qi generated by members of your family passing through
will interfere with your conversation and you will lose concentration
and probably your temper. You can put them to the side of the qi
channel, encouraging a flow of qi rather than disrupting it.Sitting
face to face can be confronting so place the chairs at a slight angle.
A shared table between the chairs helps to break down the barriers
between people.Don't place chairs under exposed beams because
anyone seated beneath will find it oppressive. If it is unavoidable,
hang a pair of bamboo flutes or the like from the beam.Apply these simple feng shui principles and you can ensure that you will live the tranquil, serene life in your feng shui living room. |
