Good Feng Shui furniture placement is essential for any space, especially in homes with a limited square footage, or ones that are awkwardly shaped.
Feng Shui is often referred to as the art form, but mastering the art of Feng Shui furniture placement will ensure that your home is a happier place for you and your family, no matter the size or layout.
But remember, if you are somewhere with 'bad' Feng Shui furniture placement, don’t worry. There’s always something you can do to adjust your current furniture layout and work with what you already have.
Here we've asked the experts to share their furniture arranging mistakes and advice on how to arrange furniture in your home using the principles of Feng Shui as guidance.
Feng Shui bed placement

The most important piece of furniture in bedroom Feng Shui are your bed ideas because they represent your overall health and wellbeing.
The bedroom is the most intimate room in the house, so your Feng Shui bed placement should be at the forefront of your mind when designing a bedroom, as should the importance of having a headboard in Feng Shui. Bedroom layout ideas are an essential part of any Feng Shui bedroom design. When planning a bedroom that adheres to the principles of Feng Shui, the most important decision to make is where to position the bed – being the largest piece of furniture in the room it will have a big impact on how the space functions, looks and feels.
In a Feng Shui bedroom layout, the best location for your bed is in commanding position. This means that, when in bed, you’re facing the door while not directly in line with the door. Lying in this 'commanding' position is said to help you feel calm, still and at ease. This position will also allow you to subconsciously face anything head on.
You also don’t want any doors to open up directly in line with the bed. According to Feng Shui philosophy, you want to avoid the dreaded 'coffin position' where your feet point towards the door.
However, if you have awkwardly-shaped space or a small bedroom, you may not be able to relocate the bed. Instead, consider the use of a bedroom mirror to 'visually reposition' the bed. Locate the mirror so that you can view the reflection of the door from your bed. This is believed to help disperse any incoming negativity or bad energy to allow for a more restful sleep.
Feng Shui sofa placement

Optimum living room Feng Shui can bring the benefits promised by this Chinese art to your home. Draw on its principles to design the space around a sofa, and improvements in the quality of life are promised.
Typically placed in living or family rooms, the sofa or couch is said to represent harmony in the home. The living room sofa is usually the largest – if not the most expensive – item in a room and is often the most dominant piece, so it is no surprise that the sofa usually dictates the Feng Shui of the room.
For the best Feng Shui sofa placement, you'll want to position this piece of furniture in an arrangement that will allow each member of the family to feel most comfortable and at ease.
L-shaped sofa and sectionals are wonderful options for your living room seating ideas and will serve to enhance the flow of conversation.
'You should always consider the room’s layout from a social and practical point of view,' says interior designer Nina Campbell . 'Plan seating in groups to ensure conversation flows when you have guests and consider scale and how different pieces will sit together. Seating heights vary so balance is key, but make sure guests are seated at the same level, and no one has their back facing towards one another.'
Feng Shui TV placement

For most families, a living room TV is an essential tool for helping adults unwind, keeping the kids entertained, and facilitating cozy movie nights. The problem is, it’s not the prettiest appliance and doesn't serve a purpose in Feng Shui – when switched off, it’s essentially a large black rectangle.
While TV in Feng Shui is not typically associated with 'bad' Feng Shui, it isn't 'good' either.
Electronic devices are believed to radiate copious amounts of fire energy, which can be highly stimulating and disruptive. For this reason, we suggest keeping a TV away from the bedroom. Being able to fully switch-off at bedtime will also help you to sleep better.
The best place for a TV is within a dedicated family room. When it comes to placement within said room, think outside the box, and consider ways you can disguise a TV. Built-in cabinetry that allows you to hide away the TV behind sliding doors is one option, or you can get creative by investing in a unit that doubles as a TV. Remember, the best TV placement ideas, are the ones that suit your individual needs, so don't be swayed by any one else.
Feng Shui desk placement

The best desk Feng Shui is an immensely important aspect of Feng Shui. Your home office desk represents your career and prosperity – and should be given extra special attention when it comes to proper placement.
Much like your chosen bed placement, the desk should be in a 'commanding' position for good office Feng Shui. This means you are able to see the entrance of the room while sat at your desk, without being directly in line with the door.
‘A well–positioned Feng Shui desk can help create a harmonious and positive environment that promotes productivity, while a poorly-positioned one can cause negative energy to build up and lead to stagnation,’ claims Feng Shui expert Johanna Augusta .
However, depending on the shape and size of your home office, this layout might not be entirely possible. If you simply don't have the space to arrange your desk in this way, you can correct it with adequate mirror placement. You will want to position your mirror so that you can see the entrance to the room.
It is also worth noting that your desk should not be directly facing a wall, according to Feng Shui principles. If you have no choice, then we recommend that you place a mirror directly on your desk so that you can see what is behind you.

10 Feng Shui Living Room Tips to Bring Good Vibes Home
Cathie Hong Interiors
You might have noticed that we're big fans of feng shui here at MyDomaine. From selecting houseplants that usher in good luck and fortune to finding artwork that inspires gathering with loved ones, we're constantly on the lookout for ways to bring the good vibes home using this ancient Chinese art.
After all, if a few small design tweaks can boost your productivity or improve your quality of sleep, why wouldn't you decorate your home accordingly?
To learn more about making the most of the space that's arguably the most utilized in any home (aka the living room), we tapped expert Laura Cerrano. "Depending on the layout of your home or apartment, the living room tends to be one of the first rooms that greets you upon entering," she explains. "This means that the presentation of your living room sets a certain feeling, emotion, mindset, and energetic frequency before you venture into the rest of your home."
Read on for Cerrano's fail-safe feng shui living room tips, including the best placement for your couch and the one accessory every living room should have—no matter how small it is.

Before you start moving or buying living room furniture, Cerrano advises that you first assess how you use the space. To get the ball rolling, she suggests asking yourself a few questions about function: "What activities will be taking place in the living room? Is it mainly used for enjoying leisurely activities, entertaining, working, or eating meals? Will guests use the space to sleep over? Or all of the above?
"Understanding the function of the room will indicate what type of furniture (and how many pieces of furniture) you really need," says Cerrano.
"Then you can decide on the best arrangement for the overall room."

No matter the function of the space, no living room is complete without a sofa—and, as it turns out, sofa placement can have a big impact. "As with any room you are applying feng shui to, it's best to establish a 'commanding position,'" Cerrano explains. "In short, this means the occupants sitting on the couch in the living room have a clear vantage point of who is entering at all times." To adopt the style in your space, arrange your sofa in an area across from the main doors that you use when walking in and out of the room.

After you select a commanding position for your couch, you'll want to start focusing on where to place your television. "Most TVs these days are so slim that you could mount it on the wall, which helps keep a more sleek and neat presentation," says Cerrano.
When it comes to the question of whether or not you should hang your television over your fireplace, Cerrano advises against it, if possible.
"If that's the only location in the living room to place it, go for it," she says. "But if your intention is to create a space for greater connection and conversation with family, allowing the fireplace to be the main focal point is a much better option."

"Depending on which method of feng shui you are using, the best colors for your living room could be determined by the compass direction, the five elements, or the Bagua map method," says Cerrano. "Let's say your living room faces south: In general, the suggested accent colors are within the warm scope of options: Reds, red-oranges, yellows, or even pinks and purples."
Although Cerrano advises embracing color, she also cautions against using too much of it. "You don't need to paint your entire room one of these colors," she explains. You'll still reap all the benefits of a hue if you incorporate it into your space sparingly. "You could have a neutral wall color (creme or beige) and accent your living room with noticeably warm colors through light sources, artwork, an area rug, or accent pillows," she suggests.

When it comes to accessorizing your living room, you'll want to curate a collection of items that are meaningful to you, according to Cerrano. "Make sure what you choose to put out on display conveys happy 'energy anchors,'" she recommends. "When you see these items, you should feel a smile in your heart—or perhaps a sense of accomplishment, curiosity, or adventure. On a conscious and subconscious level, our environment is always influencing us."

For a particularly small living room, Cerrano recommends hanging a mirror—but placement is everything. "Mirrors have the capability to 'expand a room' by making it look and feel bigger," she explains. "Just be mindful of what the mirror is reflecting, as it doubles the energy of whatever it sees." You should also "select a mirror size that allows you to see your entire head, shoulders, and chest line to ensure you 'capture your aura,'" according to Cerrano.

Plants play an important role in curating good feng shui in any living room because they "add 'life force energy' to the space," according to Cerrano. "They can also help to purify the air and give the room a splash of unique texture with the leafy patterns," she says. Common plants with positive vibes "include English ivy, peace lily, rubber tree, bamboo, succulents, and the snake plant."

"One of the easiest feng shui principles to remember is to not let clutter accumulate in your living room—or in any room for that matter," says Cerrano. "Some may debate this and say it doesn't matter, and yet science has proven the negative mental and physical effect excess clutter has on the human mind and body," she elaborates. "Whatever you do not need, use, or love, let it go."

Stimulate bright, uplifting energy with natural light and layered lighting.
Energy-efficient lightbulbs mimic natural light, and they'll also last longer (so you won't have to take up space with so many extra lightbulbs in storage). Light is also associated with the fire element; one of five elements that should be represented in the room for harmony and balance. To improve feng shui in the living room, try to illuminate dark corners and shadows.

If feng shui is all about harmony, consider balancing décor materials so that one single material doesn't overpower everything else in the room. This might mean opting for a variety of textures and finishes. For example, if you've got a lot of metal going on in your living room, soften it up with fluffy pillows and throws, and a house plant or two.

Feng Shui furniture arrangement
We strive to fill our home with positive energy - decorate, furnish with favorite items, create comfort.
This is very natural, because the house is a place for rest, restoration of mental and physical strength, communication with the family. Therefore, it is important that nothing else interfere with peace and tranquility, so that the house attracts family members and your friends. One of the recently popular ways to create the right atmosphere in your home is to use the principles of the ancient Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui. nine0003
From the point of view of Feng Shui, our home is a space in which energy constantly circulates, influencing a person, his condition, behavior and even health. We are surrounded by a large number of inanimate objects, each of which has its own energy and affects the overall energy background. Such items primarily include furniture, therefore, according to Feng Shui, there are rules for choosing and arranging interior items. It is especially important to follow these rules in the most energetically saturated places in the apartment - such as the bedroom and living room.
Well-placed, the right furniture can improve a home and neutralize negative flows associated with other causes. nine0003
It is important that the furniture is functional, even better - multifunctional. Any thing must be used for its intended purpose. You need to at least alternately sit in all the chairs, on all the chairs and on the sofa. All cabinet drawers should be pulled out and opened regularly, equipment and lighting fixtures should be turned on at least at different times of the day. If a piece of furniture is not used by you for its intended purpose (for example, an old armchair serves as a storage place for things), it is better to get rid of it. nine0003
Try not to overcrowd the room with furniture, especially large and massive furniture - this prevents the free circulation of positive qi energy around the room. Furniture should be comfortable and fit the size of the room. There is a common belief that furniture should have rounded corners so as not to create negative sha energy.
But on the other hand, the abundance of rounded lines will upset the balance of the elements. Therefore, it is much more important that the furniture combines the elements of yin and yang: some furnishings in the room may belong to yin, others to yang, perhaps each of them will combine both beginnings. Even if all the furniture in your living room has sharp corners, then you can cope with the situation by arranging the furniture in the shape of an octagon (bagua shape). nine0003
The style of the furniture and the interior in general does not matter. It is only necessary to avoid sinister and threatening images, colors, shapes (for example, massive carvings, ornaments in the form of crosses, rhombuses, figures of ferocious animals, aggressive paintings). Furniture of simple designs with clear outlines is considered optimal. Shelves without doors are undesirable. create the so-called "secret" or "poisoned arrows" that contribute to the emergence of negative energy. But if you still cannot avoid open shelves, put climbing plants on them to “close” the corners.
nine0003
The general principle of arranging furniture in any room is to fill the space evenly in order to create a sense of balance in the ratio of elements, in a combination of vertical and horizontal. This will ensure the balance of yin and yang. Leave some space around and under furnishings to allow the qi to flow freely. In this regard, it is preferable to have furniture with legs, even if they are low, but they lift the furniture above the floor. Feng Shui appreciates built-in wardrobes, because. qi energy can easily flow past them, and if the cabinet is equipped with lighting, then the space inside it will also feel the positive influence of qi. But niches, especially deep and darkened, where armchairs, beds, chairs and sofas are located, create voids in the room, in which negative sha energy can arise. nine0003
Prefer new furniture over antique or used furniture as everything old and alien can carry previously accumulated negative or unsuitable energy for your home. Also, Feng Shui does not recommend buying furniture for life. For example, the optimal life of a bed or other bed is 10 years.
Start the arrangement of furniture with the most important piece of furniture for this room, making out the compositional center. In the living room it will be upholstered furniture (sofa and armchairs), in the dining room - a dining table, in the bedroom - a bed, in the study - a desk, in the bathroom and toilet - plumbing, in the kitchen - a stove. The center of luck (it stands out in the whole apartment as a whole and in each room in particular) should ideally be free from furniture so that qi circulates freely in this area, which is extremely important for the prosperity of the whole family. Only in the dining room is the center of luck occupied by the table, under which qi is able to move freely. nine0003
When arranging furniture in the living room , follow a few basic rules. Do not place high furniture - cabinets, slides for dishes, shelves near the door or on the sides of the window.
Vertically elongated objects will visually reduce the places of penetration of positive energy and its flow, so it is better to place them along the "blind" walls, in the corners of the rooms.
The energy center of the living room is recommended to be located in the southeast, east, southwest or northwest. The most preferred is the southeast, as it is associated with wealth. In ancient times, the hearth was the energy center, but today it is usually a TV, perhaps a coffee table. Furniture should be concentrated around the energy center and placed with their backs to the walls, best of all in the form of a circle, octagon or arcuate (symbolic protection of the center from evil spirits). It is desirable that people sitting on sofas or armchairs can freely see the front door. But if, nevertheless, a chair, armchair or sofa turned out to be back to the window or to the door, create a symbolic barrier between them in the form of indoor plants in pots. nine0003
Upholstered furniture - sofas, armchairs and chairs - must have high backs.
A low back symbolically deprives a person of support. Between the window and the door of the room, when they are located strictly opposite, too rapid a flow of energy circulates, so you should not put sofas and armchairs there. But in the conditions of our small-sized apartments, this is difficult to avoid, so there is another way to overcome the problem. It is necessary to hang wind chimes of five pipes between the door and the window, observing the following principle: in the south, east and southeast there should be a wooden bell, in the northeast and southwest - ceramic, in the north, west and northwest - metal . nine0003
It is necessary to decorate the living room with a variety of color shades, because this personifies wealth - both financial and love, spiritual. For this room, you can choose beige, yellow, light brown, green and blue. Upholstered furniture or bedspreads on it should be designed in yellow-brown tones, since the living room is the center of the house, and the Earth element predominates in the center, giving stability and stability.
When arranging furniture in bedroom The main focus should be on the bed. Both the shape of the bed and its location are important here.
Single bed only suitable for children and single seniors. Married couples and people seeking to start a family should sleep in a one and a half or double bed. The mattress should be shared, because. two individual mattresses on one bed energetically separate the spouses. The use of a sofa bed is also acceptable in terms of Feng Shui, if everything is placed correctly. The shape of the bed is a rectangle, smoothed corners are preferable to pointed ones. A lot also depends on the shape of the headboard. It can contribute to success in business and personal life. Officials and businessmen are better off choosing beds with oval headboards. For people of simple working professions, square backs are suitable. For creative people, beds with wavy backs are optimal, and for those who do not like to sleep a lot, beds with triangular backs are needed.
A bed or sofa whose bottom is in direct contact with the floor can deprive you of proper rest, just like sleeping on the floor. The qi energy should be able to circulate under the bed or sofa - this will give vigor and strength. nine0003
The choice of bed location depends on many factors. It is important to consider the location both on the cardinal points and in relation to other objects in the room.
A single bed is best placed along a wall or in a corner so that the sleeping person feels protected. A wider bed is positioned so that it is easy to approach from both sides, and the headboard adjoins the wall. The space in the legs should remain free, visible.
The main rule is not to place the bed directly in front of the door. You can place it parallel to the wall or diagonally. If there are obstacles to such an arrangement, then you can make a barrier to bad energy - put a bedside table, table, plant, hang a mirror. It is important that the person lying on the bed can freely see people entering the bedroom. If it does not work out, then the situation can also be saved by a properly located mirror. By the way, it is not recommended to overload the bedroom with mirrors. One large mirror and a dressing table mirror are acceptable. It is better if the bed itself in the mirror is not completely reflected. nine0003
The head of the bed should be oriented in a direction that is happy for its owner. Potentially favorable for people of any element is the northern direction, which coincides with the natural direction of the energy flow.
Do not clutter up the bedroom with furniture. When placing it, pay attention to the fact that sharp corners do not go directly to the bed. It is desirable that bedside tables and tables be at the level of the bed mattress or below, but not above it. Dressing table with mirror can be placed anywhere in the bedroom. The bedroom door can also send sha energy to the bed if it is open and pointed at a sharp angle towards the bed.
nine0003
If some principles of the arrangement of furniture in the bedroom cannot be observed, then other methods can be used to neutralize negative energy - mirrors placed on the opposite walls of a potentially dangerous object, a crystal suspended from the ceiling 10-20 cm from the source of sha, room mirrors obstacle plants. It is not customary to hang wind chimes in the bedroom, so as not to disturb peace and sleep with sounds.

A small entrance hall with the right arrangement of furniture is a good start for new energy in your home
Our everyday life is filled with furniture elements.
Surprisingly, it is furniture that becomes an obstacle to the movement of energy flows. How to attract positively charged Qi energy into your home, which will bring with it what is missing in life? nine0003
Feng Shui furniture arrangement plan for the house
Proper placement of furniture according to Feng Shui will help to cope with the task.
- The center of the room (any) must be free; there should not be any heaps of furniture in the central part of the room. Place high cabinets, appliances, mezzanines along the walls. An excellent solution would be to use built-in wardrobes, as they do not interfere with the flow of Qi energy. Built-in furniture does not take up free space, but qualitatively accommodates all those things that you cannot do without, and it is difficult to find a place for them. With this method of arranging furniture, energy will fill your home to the maximum, displacing the negative. You will feel how easier it is to breathe! nine0078
- The windows of the apartment should not be dusty - the golden rule! After all, it is through clean windows that Qi energy enters the house.
The crystalline energy of good 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 the house ... - Similar advice is appropriate for the door: both the door and the room near the doorway should be in perfect cleanliness. The more expensive the door to the apartment, the higher the income of everyone who lives there! nine0078
- Mirrors are more than just reflectors. They reflect energy! In other words, if you hang a mirror opposite the front door, then Prosperity in the house will not come: all cash flows will be reflected by the mirror. No need to hang mirrors or place objects with a mirrored surface in front of 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 forms and other negative manifestations - all this will easily manifest itself in your life.
nine0078
In conclusion, to the main tips for harmonizing space described above, it remains to add only one recommendation: in order to correctly determine how to arrange furniture according to Feng Shui, it is enough to follow your own intuition! The inner voice of a person (i.e. his wisdom from deep levels of the subconscious) never fails. And before you buy anything for the house, analyze your own feelings about the subject. If a thing does not cause you even a hint of lightness, joy, bright emotions - do not buy it! Emotional emptiness is also the first manifestation of negativity. nine0003
Cleanliness and comfort are a prerequisite for harmonizing the space in the bathroom
Principles of furniture arrangement according to Feng Shui
Organization of free space in the living room according to Feng Shui
All ancient Chinese manuscripts devoted 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.
Feng Shui furniture arrangement principles:
- match;
- streamlining;
- orientation.
Compliance in furniture arrangement - ie attention to furniture shapes, height, number of corners and other geometric proportions.
Streamline - the need to adhere to the "golden mean" in terms of dimensions in a set of furniture elements for one area.
Orientation indicates that it is necessary to choose the prevailing forms of furniture and color tone depending on the cardinal points. nine0003
Recommended arrangement of elements and the correct combination of colors in each room
Bo Gua grid: what it is and how to use it
Geometric arrangement of the cardinal points, zones, elements according to the Bo Gua grid chinese compass bo gua. In order to use the 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 auspicious symbols should prevail in the room, according to its geographical location, in order to attract Chi energy. There are 8 sectors in total: 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. nine0003

Some more living room tips to consider.
- The center of the living room must be free. An exception may be a coffee table, but small in size and preferably made of wood (glass is considered an element of water and has the properties of instability).
nine0058 Free living room center with coffee table in the middle - Arrange the furniture in the living room in the shape of an octagon. This is the most stable figure in geometry, i.e. the life positions of the family will not “sway from side to side” negative situations.
- It is not advisable to place armchairs or chairs with their backs to the window or the front door to the living room. The best option is to arrange them so that the seated person surveys all those entering the room. It is desirable that the backs of the seats are parallel or fit snugly against the walls of the room: this is how the subconscious defense (rear behind the back) is formed, which is projected into life confidence, courage. nine0078
- Crystal will help to attract the energy of well-being and drive away the negative. It doesn’t matter what shape and dimensions of this object in the interior (a huge expensive chandelier or a small table lamp, a vase, etc.) - crystal must be in the living room!
- Give maximum attention to the lighting of the living room, because according to Feng Shui, to attract wealth and good luck, this room must be the brightest in the apartment.
If there are dark places in the interior, then a well-chosen room decor can “enlighten” them: table or floor lamps, all kinds of flashlights, etc.

Sample plan of a bedroom with standard furniture
The bedroom is a place of rest, relaxation and private territory. Here the bed legally occupies the central place, which means that almost all the tips are related to this element of the interior. nine0003
How to arrange furniture in a rectangular bedroom - choosing a place for a bed
- The bed should not be placed with its head to the window, feet to the door, near the wall adjacent to the toilet.
All such places will bring health problems, breakdown, irritability, troubles, etc. to the life of the person sleeping on this bed. Diagonal bed placement - ideal for non-standard rooms
- The bed must have maximum stability, i.e. casters on the legs of the bed are definitely excluded! nine0078
- It is good if the bed is wide enough and spacious. In the case when two people sleep on the bed, there should be a lot of free space around the bed and in equal amounts on both sides. Regardless of fashion trends, the shape of the bed should be a quadrangle, as it is the personification of reliability, strength, stability.
- You can not place a mirror in the bedroom, looking 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, combined with a small cozy bed, will psychologically "press" on a person. And when a child sleeps in the bedroom, this circumstance can cause complexes in behavior, excessive modesty and other manifestations of insecurity.
