5. Use Furniture With Round Corners
If the corners of your furniture are sharp and stick out into walkways then this can block the flow of chi in the room. Make sure not to choose furniture with corners that are threatening as that can make the living room feel uncomfortable. Your aim should be to keep the space open so that energy can flow, using circular tables and round furniture enables that and blocks out all negative energy.
6. Have Plenty Of Seating
One of the aims of feng shui is to welcome guests and family members. Thus, the ideal feng shui living room will have plenty of seating available. That being said, you also don’t want to clutter the space too much. Be smart in your seating options, have a variety but make sure that it’s not overwhelming at the same time. Your living room should ideally be on the larger side so that it can accommodate everyone easily.
7. Add Plants
Plants are an essential component of a feng shui living room. Of course, by this, we mean real plants and not artificial ones! Lush green plants will bring positive energy to your home. It’s simple yet so effective. Plants will also help you create that balance with other textures and materials. If you are worried about looking after them, choose ones that are low maintenance. Make sure to provide them with their basic needs (water, light, etc.) so that they can grow beautifully.
8. Make It Comfortable
A feng shui living room needs to be airy and comfortable. So instead of focusing to make it extra fancy, just make sure that it’s comfy. For that, an important factor to consider is the layout of the space. Ensure that there are enough pathways for you to move comfortably throughout the room. The furniture should also be comfortable enough to sit on so that your guests feel at ease throughout their visit.
9. Accessorize Carefully
Instead of throwing whatever pretty piece you find into your living room, make sure to mindfully select a few. Each of the items that you pick should be meaningful to you and should add value to your living room. The pieces should bring about good energy to the space. Your surroundings play a vital role in influencing your mood and thoughts whether consciously or subconsciously and therefore enough thought should be given to the way that you choose to decorate it.
10. Strategic Fireplace
Your fireplace may as well be the focal point of your living room. Put some thought into placing it strategically as that will have a big impact on the rest of the space. Different areas of the room give off different energies so place it in the area whose energy you wish to highlight. For instance, placing it in the south or southwest part of the room will focus on romance and love.
Through these 10 simple tips and tricks, you can feng shui your living room in the easiest way possible. It doesn’t require much and will bring in lots of positive chi to your home!
