The living room is the busiest place in the house. This is where the main events take place. Usually the whole family gathers in the living room, more often in the evenings. And if the inhabitants of the house are very sociable people, then in the living room, in addition to household members, guests often appear. Therefore, the energy content of the interior of the living room is determined, first of all, by what function this room performs in this house.

If your living room is "used" to that, family members very actively and vigorously spend their free time in it, then the power of active yang energy will be felt in it. In the event that the living room is assigned the role of a room for rest and relaxation, calm, peaceful yin energy will prevail in it. Achieving harmony between two opposite energies is possible through the right combination of catchy and soft colors, smooth lines and impulsive forms.

Living room furniture

When furnishing the living room, it is necessary to take into account some features. A "center of attraction" is created around one of the eight sides of the Ba Gua, preferably "family", "relationships", "helpers" or "wealth". For example, it is good to install a TV in the corner, symbolizing wealth. When arranging furniture in the living room, you need to remember that the sharp corners of the furniture form the so-called "secret arrows", which have a very negative effect on the inhabitants and guests of the house. You can neutralize their influence with drapery, accessories, houseplants. Sofas and armchairs should not be placed with their backs to the windows: this can cause discomfort to those sitting. The best location for them is along the walls, which creates a pleasant atmosphere of peace and security.

If the spatial features of the room do not allow you to arrange the furniture correctly, this can be corrected. For example, where a chair stands by the window, a plant on the windowsill can correct the position. Do not pile up the room with a bunch of different items, including furniture, since the Chi energy must circulate freely in the room. Otherwise, stagnation will cause depression and fatigue among family members. The central area should be kept as free from furniture as possible. If you still want to place something in the center, for example, a coffee table, decorate it with a vase of flowers, preferably yellow (earth element), as a symbol of the well-being and prosperity of your family.

The location of electrical appliances in the living room

Televisions and stereos stimulate the Yang qualities of the place where they are placed. When placing them, consider their effect on the energy of the room. If, for example, they are in the southeast, they contribute to wealth and prosperity, in the southwest they help maintain good relationships, in the south they increase your desire to manifest leadership qualities and an active life position in the outside world. If you do not want to emphasize any particular aspect, then the north or northwest direction will be the most neutral for electrical appliances. The living room is a good place to stimulate certain aspects of your life. Let's say you want to increase your personal significance in society, to do this, activate the southern sector with the help of crystals, lamps or symbolic objects. And such a thing as a candle is good not only as a decoration, but also enhances the positive energy in the room.

If you are working on projects, then for their successful implementation, stimulate the eastern sector of the room. When decorating walls with paintings and other decorations, think about the images and feelings they evoke. For example, avoid images that evoke loneliness and longing. Choose positive stories and images. Beautiful mountain or water landscapes look good on the north side of the room. A vase of flowers greatly improves the quality of qi in the living room, but the bouquet should always be fresh, do not be lazy to also change the water regularly: stagnation breeds stagnation. If you need to establish yourself as a leader in a team, try placing bright flowers (preferably red) in the south of the room. Stimulation of creative processes in a child is facilitated by white flowers. They can be placed in the western part of the room.

Combination of living room and dining room

If the house has a large room that combines the functions of a living room and a dining room, try to think over the arrangement of interior items in such a way as to separate these two incarnations. Otherwise, none of them will be completed, and the qi energy will lose certain qualities. To achieve the desired effect, you can use partitions, sliding screens or arrange furniture so that a separation is created between the two zones.

Since the dining table is the centerpiece of the dining room, it should not be used as a separation element between the two areas mentioned above. This will upset the balance in both residential areas and prevent them from being used for their intended purpose.

The choice of colors for decorating the living room

The choice of color design should also be taken seriously in order to avoid unwanted effects. So the predominance of red and its shades in the living room can cause disagreements or tension in relations between family members. Do not abuse blue and black colors in the design of the northern part of the apartment. This can cause a decrease in vitality and loss of activity. Wood accessories and water symbols (for example, an aquarium) have positive energy, especially if you place them in the southeast area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe living room.
