Creating Feng Shui in Living Room

Creating Good Feng Shui in the Living Room

Creating a balanced and positively energetic home is the essence of living with good Feng Shui. The living room in particular is extremely important as this is where the family gathers, where there is a lot of entertainment and therefore it is a room where there is constant activity. For a household to enjoy good Feng Shui, this part of the home must be welcoming to all who enter and filled with good chi.

Here are some simple steps to instantly improve your living room Feng Shui.

Clean up and keep things tidy

Remove all clutter and give the living room a thorough spring cleaning. Clutter leads to stagnant energy, holding back negative chi and blocking the flow of good chi. By removing old, damaged or unwanted items, you allow new energies to enter the space. Clear tabletops and wipe down figurines, photo frames and any memorabilia you want to keep and throw away those you don’t want to keep. Open your curtains, windows, and doors at least once a day to let in fresh air and sunlight.

CLEARANCE

Burn some incense and clean the living room of stale chi with bells or singing bowls. This is especially helpful if there has been a recent dispute in this area.

BALANCE OF THE 5 ELEMENTS

The five elements – earth, metal, water, wood and fire – represent the cycles of nature that determine our health and well-being. When the elements are in balance, happiness and happiness can manifest for everyone in the home. When out of balance, they cause emotional turmoil and conflict between residents. Make sure you have all 5 items in your living room. You can use the elements themselves or use shapes and colours that represent the 5 elements.

The colours of the earth are earthy brown, yellow and beige. The shapes representing the earth are squares. Natural crystals are wonderful enhancers of earth chi.

The metal colours are white, purple, grey and metallic. The shapes that represent metal are spheres and circles. To reinforce the metal element, furniture and decorative items made of brass, copper or other metals can be used.

The water colours are black and all shades of blue. The shapes representing water are curvy and wavy. Water features such as aquariums and water bowls can be used to emphasise the element of water.

The wood colours are exclusively shades of green. The shapes that represent wood are rectangles and columns. Indoor plants are great for strengthening Wood Chi.

Fire colours are red, maroon and orange. The shape that represents fire is the triangle. Lights, lamps and candles are wonderful enhancers of the fire element.

GET THE CORRECT SITTING POSITIONS

The seating direction of each family member when they meet in the living room is also important. If possible, everyone should look in one of their lucky directions. This will help ensure family harmony within the home. You can use our KUA calculator to look up your lucky and unlucky directions.

Arrange your sectional sofa, chairs, and TV so family members can face one of their four happy directions. There should be a comfortable seat for each member of the household. Also, have extra seating available for guests because we want everyone to feel welcome and welcomed. Ideally, the seats should face each other to invite conversation and interaction. Eliminate clutter or obstacles that might prevent you from walking comfortably around the seats and avoid people sitting with their backs to the door.

Do’s and taboos for the living room

Create a collection of meaningful items, e.g. B. Memorabilia from family trips and family photos. Make sure your choice conveys happy energies. When you see these articles, they should bring a smile to your face.

DO NOT display paintings or photos of wild animals such as tigers in the living room. Weapons such as firearms and swords should also be avoided.

While living plants bring life-giving chi, not all plants are equally fortunate. Avoid plants with thorns or sharp leaves like cacti or anything that looks menacing.

A laughing Buddha in the living room is a great addition to increase the energies of happiness and togetherness.
