1. The back of the sofa should have a backrest

The so-called "having a backer" means there is a solid wall behind the sofa to rely on, so there is no need to worry. This is in line with the principles of feng shui. This is the reason why the chairs used in the palace of the previous dynasty all had natural marble backs, and the patterns on them were best if they had faint mountain views.

If there are windows, doors and passages behind the sofa and no solid wall to rely on, it means that there is no support behind it, and it is empty. It is a scattered situation and it is difficult to prosper in population and wealth. If there is indeed no solid wall behind the sofa, a more effective workaround is to place a low cabinet or screen behind the sofa. This can be called an "artificial backer" and will also play a remedial role.

2. The sofa should be placed in the auspicious direction of the house

The sofa is the place where the whole family sits and lies down on a daily basis and can be said to be the focus of the family. If it is placed in an auspicious position, all family members, young and old, can be blessed by the auspicious energy of this position and enjoy good health. But if it is placed in an inauspicious location, all the family members will suffer and the family will be in unrest.

3. Avoid placing a beam on top of the sofa

If there is a beam above the bed, only one or two people sleeping on the bed will be affected. However, if there is a beam above the sofa, the whole family will be affected, and the impact will be very serious, so it must be avoided as much as possible. If it is really unavoidable, you can place two pots of lucky bamboo on the coffee tables on both sides of the sofa. The lucky bamboo that keeps growing upward and rising step by step will bear the pressure of the horizontal beam.

4. Do not place the sofa opposite the door

If the sofa is in a straight line with the door, it is called "counterattack" in Feng Shui, which has serious disadvantages and will cause family members to leave and money to be scattered everywhere. In this situation, it is best to move the sofa away to avoid it being in conflict with the door. If there is nowhere to move it, you can only place a screen between the two. In this way, the air flowing into the house from the door will not go straight to the sofa, and family members will not be dispersed but will be able to gather together, which can also prevent wealth from leaking.

5. There should be no direct light on the top of the sofa

Sometimes the light in the sofa area is weak, and many people will install lighting on the top of the sofa, such as downlights hidden in the ceiling or spotlights exposed outside. Because they are too close to the sofa, they often shine directly down from the top of the head, which goes against the principles of feng shui and should be avoided as much as possible. And from the perspective of environmental design, direct light above the sofa can often make people nervous, dizzy, and restless. This can be alleviated slightly if the light is directed towards the wall.

6. There should not be a mirror behind the sofa to reflect the back of the head

Some people hang mirrors on the wall to make their living rooms appear more airy and spacious. In fact, from the perspective of Feng Shui, mirrors have a reflective effect and therefore should not be hung randomly. Reminder for left and right sofas: There should not be a large mirror behind the sofa. When people sit on the sofa, others can clearly see the back of the person's head in the mirror, which is very bad, as it will cause them to become distracted and restless.

7. The sofa should be curved rather than straight.

The sofa occupies an important position in the living room, just like the main port of a country. It must be able to absorb as much water as possible to prosper. A good port must have protruding bends on both sides, shaped like the English letter U. The protruding bends are like two arms that support and embrace on both sides, while the sunken area in the center is the Feng Shui air intake position that can store wind and gather energy to achieve prosperity of both population and wealth.
