How to arrange furniture in your home following the rules of Feng Shui?

We create a harmonious and energy-filled space in the house with our own hands.
Fill your home with positive energy so that your health improves, your career, financial affairs, love relationships grow: this is the dream of everyone without exception. How to do this?

Thousands of years ago, the ancient Chinese already knew the answer to such a difficult question. And the secret lies in the fact that it is necessary to give freedom to the flowing energy flows.

Movement of Sha energy in the room

In the 21st century, people won’t even argue that our world is energy. All physical objects (material goods, money, and people included) are just energy objects. Setting the direction of movement of these flows (i.e., attracting them into your life) is quite simple, and the basic rules are described in the ancient Chinese teaching of Feng Shui.

Movement of Chi energy throughout the home

The amazing thing is that every person can do whatever he wants with his life! Wealth - please! Love, career, health - give yourself everything you want! You just need to follow the exact Feng Shui recommendations.

How to arrange furniture according to Feng Shui?

A small hallway with the right arrangement of furniture is a good start for new energy in your home

Our life is filled with furniture elements. Surprisingly, it is furniture that becomes an obstacle to the movement of energy flows. How can you attract positively charged Qi energy into your home, which will bring with it what is missing in life?

Feng Shui furniture arrangement plan for your home

The correct arrangement of furniture according to Feng Shui will help you cope with the task.

The center of the room (any) must be free, i.e. There should be no piles of furniture in the central part of the room. Place tall cabinets, appliances, mezzanines along the walls. An excellent solution would be to use built-in cabinets, as they do not interfere with the flow of Qi energy. Built-in furniture does not take up free space, but it qualitatively accommodates all those things that you cannot do without, but it is difficult to find a place for them. With this method of arranging furniture, energy will fill your home as much as possible, displacing negativity. You yourself will feel how it has become easier to breathe!
Apartment windows should not be dusty - Golden Rule! After all, it is through clean windows that Qi energy enters the house. The crystalline energy of goodness that a person can see is bright sunlight. So fill your home with this light to the limit - and with it wealth, joy, success, happiness will come into your home...
Similar advice is appropriate for the door: both the door and the room near the doorway should be perfectly clean. The more expensive the door to the apartment, the higher the income of everyone who lives there!
Mirrors are not only light reflectors. They reflect energy! In other words, if you hang a mirror opposite the front door, then prosperity will not come to the house: all cash flows will be reflected by the mirror. There is no need to hang mirrors or place objects with a mirror surface opposite the windows - the effect is the same.
Paintings and other graphic elements (wallpaper, figurines, etc.) - they are not only decoration for the interior of the apartment, but also energy batteries. Look carefully at what is shown in the pictures! Avoid dark colors, destructive shapes and other negative manifestations - all this will easily manifest itself in your life.

In conclusion, to the main tips for harmonizing space described above, there is only one recommendation left to add: to correctly determine how to arrange furniture according to Feng Shui, it is enough to follow your own intuition! A person’s inner voice (i.e., his wisdom from deep levels of the subconscious) never fails. And before you buy anything for your home, analyze your own feelings about the item. If an item doesn’t evoke even a hint of lightness, joy, or bright emotions in you, don’t buy it! Emotional emptiness is also the first manifestation of negativity.

Cleanliness and comfort are a prerequisite for harmonizing space in the bathroom

Allocation of energy zones: main sectors

The apartment is a single holistic system, which is divided into separate sectors responsible for different functions.

To independently identify energy zones in your home, it is recommended to go through three stages:

Determine the center of the apartment. This is easy to do: on a sheet of paper, draw a plan of the apartment to scale and cut it out along the contour. Then they take a needle and thread and determine the center of gravity by hanging it above the plan. Where the needle comes into contact with the paper, there will be the energy center of the home.
Measure compass directions. To do this, you will need a compass: a person must go outside and stand against the wall of a building with a compass, determining north, south, west and east. Arriving home, you need to transfer the received data to the plan.
Draw sectors on the plan of a one-room apartment. You will need a protractor ruler: connect its center to the center of the apartment on the plan and draw 8 sectors, each 45 degrees.

The result will be 8 main energy zones of a one-room apartment, in each of which it is necessary to install certain pieces of furniture. There is also one more additional zone - the central one, it will be the 9th in a row. Experts say that according to Feng Shui techniques, the energy of an apartment changes over time: if the owners notice tension and a deterioration in the general atmosphere in the house, then it’s time to make a change.

Principles of furniture arrangement according to Feng Shui

Organizing free space in the living room according to Feng Shui

All ancient Chinese manuscripts dedicated to the theory of Feng Shui have long been studied and translated. According to these ancient postulates, there are only three principles for arranging furniture according to Feng Shui. All other rules are consequences of these three.

Principles of furniture arrangement according to Feng Shui:

correspondence;
streamlining;
direction.

Compliance in the arrangement of furniture - that is, attention to the shape of the furniture, height, number of corners and other geometric proportions.

Streamlining is the need to adhere to the “golden mean” in terms of dimensions in a set of furniture elements for one area.

Directionality indicates that it is necessary to choose the predominant shapes of furniture and color tone depending on the cardinal directions.

Recommended arrangement of elements and the correct combination of colors in each room

Upholstery color and texture

As experts say, the “material part” says that it is very important to avoid combining colors that belong to elements that argue with each other. That is, it is better not to combine blue and red, black and orange (“water” and “fire”) in one model. If the furniture you like is made in this color scheme, then factories will come to the rescue, where it is possible to manufacture custom-made sofas.

In addition, it is worth paying attention to the upholstery material itself. A leather sofa is “rich” and “prosperous.” If you need more comfort, the material should be as natural and smooth to the touch as possible.

Bo gua grid: what is it and how to use it

Geometric arrangement of cardinal directions, zones, elements according to the Bo Gua grid

It is according to the principles of correspondence/streamlining/directionality that the ancient Chinese compass Bo Gua was created. To use Bo Gua correctly, you need to have our domestic compass, select the center of the room (or apartment), determine the direction of the arrow to the north and apply a special Bo Gua grid from this position. The grid indicates which shapes, colors and other benevolent symbols should dominate the room, according to its geographical location, in order to attract Chi energy. There are only 8 sectors: 4 cardinal directions + 4 intermediate directions. An example of the Bo Gua grid can be found on the Internet, as well as practical tips on how to use it.

Choosing colors for the interior of an apartment according to Feng Shui

When choosing finishing colors for a one-room apartment, it is important to be guided not only by the rules of Feng Shui, but also by traditional recommendations from designers. Experts insist that light shades be used to the maximum in a small room, because they visually expand the boundaries of the rooms. For each room the color is selected separately:

bathroom If the bathroom or toilet is located in the southeast in the Wood sector, then the best colors for decoration are green and white. The combination of these two shades calms, relaxes and maximally stimulates Qi energy for a person;
bedroom. If the bedroom is located in the northeast, center and southwest, an excellent solution would be to use beige and pastel colors. These colors help create a cozy and calm environment. To dilute light shades, it is recommended to add pink and blue accents. You should not use flashy aggressive colors - they excite the nervous system;
living room. In a one-room apartment there is no both a bedroom and a living room, but with skillful planning and the use of partitions, such accommodation can be organized independently. If the living room is located in the north and northwest, its element will be metal - golden, gray, beige. In this room, the owners meet guests and spend time for a long time, so it should be moderate and restrained;
kitchen. Here it is allowed to use bright and rich colors - orange, green, yellow. Such shades allow you to awaken your appetite. Sometimes it is allowed to use red, especially if the kitchen is located in the Fire zone - in the south.

These colors can be used not only in decoration, but also in the design of furniture, carpets, sofa upholstery and other items.

Furniture arrangement according to Feng Shui in the living room

Feng Shui furniture arrangement plan for the living room

So, we completed the primary tasks for the correct arrangement of furniture according to the laws of Feng Shui: we determined the energy sectors according to the Bo Gua compass and adjusted the furniture arrangement plan according to the basic rules of Feng Shui philosophy.

There are some other living room tips to consider.

The center of the living room should be clear. An exception could be a coffee table, but small in size and preferably made of wood (glass is considered the element of water and has instability properties).

Open center of the living room with a coffee table in the middle
It would be good to arrange furniture in the living room in the shape of an octagon. This is the most stable figure in geometry, i.e. The family’s life position will not be “shaken from side to side” by negative situations.
It is not advisable to place armchairs or chairs with their backs to the window or to the entrance door to the living room. The best option is to arrange them so that the person sitting can see everyone entering the room. It is desirable that the backs of the seating areas be parallel or tightly adjacent to the walls of the room: this is how subconscious protection is formed (the rear behind the back), which is projected into life confidence and courage.
Crystal will help attract the energy of well-being and ward off negativity. It doesn’t matter what shape and dimensions of this item in the interior (a huge expensive chandelier or a small table lamp, vase, etc.) – crystal is a must in the living room!
Pay maximum attention to the issue of lighting the living room, because according to Feng Shui, to attract wealth and good luck, this room must be the lightest in the apartment. If there are dark places in the interior, then well-chosen room decor can “brighten” them: table or floor lamps, all kinds of flashlights, etc.

Bright, warm and cheerful living room with minimal furniture

How to arrange furniture in the bedroom according to Feng Shui

Sample bedroom plan with standard furniture

The bedroom is a place of rest, relaxation and personal territory. Here the central place is rightfully occupied by the bed, which means that almost all the advice is related to this element of the interior.

How to arrange furniture in a rectangular bedroom - choosing a place for the bed

The bed should not be placed with its head towards the window, feet towards the door, or near the wall adjacent to the toilet. All such places will bring health problems, loss of strength, irritability, troubles, etc. into the life of the person sleeping on this bed.

Diagonal placement of the bed is an ideal option for rooms with non-standard layouts
The bed must have maximum stability, i.e. Wheels on the legs of the bed are definitely excluded!
It’s good if the bed is wide and spacious enough. In the case when two people sleep on the bed, there should be a lot of free space around the bed and in equal quantities on both sides. Regardless of fashion trends, the shape of the bed should be a quadrangle, since this is the personification of reliability, strength, and stability.
You cannot place a mirror in the bedroom that looks at a sleeping person!
It is unacceptable to have furniture in the bedroom that is more massive than the bed itself. This is especially true for bulky wardrobes: such a piece of furniture in combination with a small cozy bed will psychologically “put pressure” on a person. And when a child sleeps in the bedroom, this circumstance can cause behavioral complexes, excessive modesty and other manifestations of insecurity.

In general, the bedroom should be filled with light (soft), space and peace!

Calm and harmonious bedroom interior

In the nursery

The children's room is a particularly important room in the apartment. The comprehensive spiritual and physical development of a young person and his health will depend on the right environment. Furniture installed according to the rules of Feng Shui will help develop the child’s creative and mental potential and instill responsibility.

The organization of the sleeping area is of paramount importance. It should be located as far as possible from the doorway and the headboard should be facing the wall. When choosing, you should avoid a bunk or combined bed. The bed should not have lower drawers, which will become an obstacle to the flow of qi energy and a place for dust accumulation. It is recommended to zone the children's room using shelves with toys or cabinets. It is best to separate the baby's resting place from the place of study. Such separation contributes to a calm and complete rest.

You should choose furniture according to the age of the child. It should not be too bulky and dark. Shelves are not placed overhead, and the space in the center of the room should be free.

How to arrange furniture according to Feng Shui in the kitchen

Scheme of generation and destruction of 5 elements for the kitchen

The kitchen is the only area of the apartment where there can be a table in the center. The special design of the table does not block the flow of energies. In other details, the rules for arranging furniture in the kitchen do not differ from other rooms.

The main elements of the kitchen interior are the stove, sink and refrigerator. The stove is responsible for the wealth in the house, the satiety and health of the residents. The sink is for cleanliness, and the refrigerator is for the safety of food. Therefore, to double these criteria, hang a mirror above the stove and install a mirror in the refrigerator. You need to use the mirror carefully in relation to the sink - you can “wash” all the wealth in the house.

Location of the main elements of the kitchen interior

It is convenient to place all three elements in different corners (except for the stove - it should only be near the wall in the south of the room!).

Attributes and symbolism

Traditional attributes of oriental technology, according to which energy spreads throughout the entire apartment, are a variety of pendants, souvenirs and iridescent bells. But in a one-room apartment there is often so little space that the interior does not allow such symbols to be distributed throughout the home. Paintings will be a good replacement for standard symbolism - they do not take up much space and also carry an energetic message.

According to the sectors, you can arrange the attributes:

in the south-eastern part of the apartment, place symbols of wealth - the hieroglyph “Abundance” in the form of a picture, an image of a water mill or an aquarium with goldfish;
in the eastern zone it is better to place the attributes of well-being, since this is the sector of family and love. This could be a figurine of a bird, its image or a figurine of a magic wand;
the north of the home is responsible for the career, so it is recommended to place a small three-toed toad of golden color here;
in the south of the apartment there is a glory sector, so it is appropriate to place a dragon figurine or a money tree here;
the southwest symbolizes marriage; in this sector it is appropriate to place the figure of a peacock or phoenix or their image;
in the northeast, which is responsible for knowledge, experts recommend keeping an elephant figurine;
in the northwest it is better to place mandarin ducks, because this is a relief zone;
The creativity sector is located in the west of the apartment - it’s worth hanging crystals here.

Separately, you can highlight paraphernalia that can be placed in any area of the room. These include unicorns, a pagoda, Pi Yao, three elders, a dog, and a gourd.

After purchasing souvenirs, you should put them where they will look best.

How to install a sofa

You need to lean the sofa against the wall so that a reliable support is formed at the back. This will help you easily build your career and maximize your potential. On the contrary, if there is no support behind the sofa, it is easy for the homeowner to lose money.

However, this gap can be corrected. If there is no wall at the back of the sofa, you can place a cabinet, shelf or screen there to create a stable position for the sofa. Do not place the sofa against the wall behind which the kitchen or toilet is located. This will negatively impact your career. If you follow all the rules, mutual understanding, luck and love will reign in the house.
