The style of the living room must conform to the general public. The style of the living room not only needs to take into account the aesthetic characteristics of the family members, but also the characteristics of the friends and relatives who often visit your home, because the living room is where you entertain them. If your design is only what you like, but others don't, it's a failed work. Let's follow the editor to learn together.
The impact of the size, position, and shape of the living room on Feng Shui
Position: The living room should be placed in the central area of the house. The center is the core of the house, and sitting in the living room allows you to keep an eye on guests and family members. When entering the house, if the living room is the first thing you see, it is considered a lucky house. The living room should be in front of the house, not at the back, relative to the rooms.
Size: The living room should be large enough and deep enough to gather energy and accumulate wealth. It should not have too many pieces of furniture, otherwise it will appear too crowded and cause a sense of oppression. The size should not be smaller than the bedroom; if the bedroom is larger than the living room, it will bring inconvenience to the family and may lead to mental issues such as low morale. In such cases, it is best to reconfigure the partitions.
Shape: A square shape is ideal, followed by a rectangular shape. There should not be too many sharp angles, such as a rhombus. If this occurs, it is advisable to add a wooden cabinet or a low cabinet in the empty corner, or place a pot of green plants to reduce the sharpness of the angles.
The ceiling of the living room
The ceiling of the living room symbolizes "heaven" in Feng Shui. Especially in modern construction, it is common to use ceiling designs to conceal beams, columns, and pipelines in the living room.
The living room ceiling should have a "heaven and earth" structure: In modern houses with low ceilings, it is easy to feel a sense of pressure when using false ceilings. This can make people feel tired. In such cases, it is advisable to design a ceiling that is lower on all sides and higher in the middle. Through lighting design, the ceiling can be made bright and open, making the visual experience more comfortable. At the same time, the recess in the middle of the ceiling can create the image of a water pool, which is beneficial for the Feng Shui of the house.
If the ceiling height of the living room is too low, attention should be paid to the ceiling height: A very low ceiling is not suitable for a very low ceiling, as it can create a feeling of oppression and discomfort for the residents, thus affecting their daily life and work mood.
The color of the ceiling should be light rather than dark: Since the living room ceiling symbolizes "heaven," the color should be mainly light, while the floor color should be darker.
The lighting of the living room
Appropriate lighting settings in the living room not only bring comfort and tranquility but also provide psychological relaxation and comfort, making people cheerful and benefiting the homeowners. On the contrary, poor lighting can affect people's moods and bring bad luck. Modern living room lighting design usually sets different lighting configurations according to different usage scenarios, such as brighter lighting for entertaining guests and softer and dimmer lighting for watching TV. Commonly used lighting in the living room includes chandeliers, fluorescent lights, and recessed lights. When using a chandelier, avoid installing a fan-equipped lamp, as the rotating shadows can cause dizziness and make family members feel unsafe. From a scientific perspective, installing a chandelier in a house with a low ceiling can also create a sense of pressure. In summary, the lighting in the living room should be harmonious, creating a cozy atmosphere between people and the environment.

What are the considerations for the shape of the living room?
Feng Shui of the shape of the living room - Square
The best layout among the shapes of the living room is the square, which means the four corners are aligned. This represents the meaning of being upright and stable, indicating that the family members have honest character, act fairly, and their career and marriage are stable. Since the square also represents official positions, if there is someone in the family who is an official, it is better to choose a square-shaped living room. It can help ensure the integrity of officials and prevent them from being disturbed by trivial matters.
Feng Shui of the shape of the living room - Rectangular
Except for the square, the rectangular living room is also suitable, but the ratio of length to width should be noted. It is better for the length and width to be similar, which can still create a sense of spaciousness. However, some rectangular living rooms have a length about twice the width, which is very unfavorable because a narrow and long living room can make people petty-minded and affect their capacity.
Feng Shui of the shape of the living room - L-shaped
This type of living room is difficult to design and decorate, and generally lacks grandeur, as it is hard to see the entire layout in the living room, always causing concerns about the space in the corner.
Feng Shui of the shape of the living room
Other irregular shapes of living rooms will not bring good luck. Especially triangular or rhombic living rooms, because of their sharp angles, not only are they difficult to decorate, but also generate many negative energies at the sharp corners. Therefore, caution should be exercised when purchasing. If the shape of the living room is already fixed, it can be made to look more square through furniture arrangement. At the same time, using some auspicious items can remove the negative energies.
In addition, the shape of the living room is strictly forbidden to have missing corners. If this occurs, a mirror should be placed at the missing corner. A full-length mirror is best, as it can visually compensate for the missing corner through reflection and virtual reality. However, it is best not to buy a house with missing corners.
