Zoning and furnishing of the living room according to the principles of feng shui
Zoning of premises according to Feng Shui principles.This oriental system of arranging a room is based on the fact that the arrangement of furniture in a certain way ensures the circulation of energy. Zoning of a room in Feng Shui is based on a square of 9 sectors responsible for certain elements that are important and vital for a person. Such a square is designed according to the Bagua compass, which allows dividing it into sectors (parts of the world). The interior of a living room of 17 sq. m. is often created in an oriental style. There are certain patterns of furniture arrangement according to Feng Shui. Furniture cannot be arranged in the shape of the letter "L", otherwise "secret arrows" will form in the corner. The situation worsens if the furniture is located at an acute angle. The energy and functional center (for example, a home theater) must be located in the southeast of the room, but in no case should it be located in its northern part. According to the laws of Feng Shui, a person should not sit with his back to a window or door, and therefore the seats should be arranged in a certain way. If this cannot be avoided, then a barrier (a piece of furniture, a flower in a pot) must be installed between the seat and the door/window. The living room design should not include the placement of a sofa and armchairs on the line connecting the window and the door, otherwise there will be barriers in the path of energy. The living room interior should include a free zone - the central one. In rare cases, it can be occupied by a coffee table.
