Simple Tips for Creating a
Feng Shui Living Room

Creating a feng shui living room is very simple — it should be comfortable, welcoming and relaxing. It is also important to understand that your living room not only reveals your personality and values, it also suggests the type of relationship and connection you have with other people — especially with those who live in the house.

Use your living room to express yourself and show the world who you are.

 

 

Your feng shui living room must be attractive, comfortable and reflect your sense of style. More importantly, this is a space that should feel welcoming and relaxing. Let go of anything that doesn’t tell a happy or pleasant story. If you have a lamp that reminds you of your ex-husband, get rid of it!

Word of Advice

Choose your decorative items with great care — they should energize and inspire you.

The living room is a wonderful place to display photos of family members, as well as other inspirational people. Colors add a powerful, healing quality to your home and they reflect your personality. Therefore, choose colors that you enjoy, while at the same time honoring the preferences and individuality of each person that lives in your home. Use the bagua map to add suitable enhancements to create the perfect feng shui living room.

 

 

Make your living room a reflection of harmonious relationships.

There should be a comfortable seat for each family member and furniture should be grouped to facilitate conversations and improve flow of chi. The primary piece of furniture should have a command view. Meaning, you should be able to see the door while sitting and your back should be protected from behind.
