Feng shui · by room
There is a dent in the sofa cushion exactly where you sit every evening, and everyone else in the house has their own dent too, though nobody has ever mentioned it. The living room is the most shared room in most homes, and the one that sets the social tone. The feng shui questions here are about flow, light, and sightlines. Most of the moves are about subtraction: less furniture, more breathing room, warmer light.
None of these need a compass, a Kua number, new furniture, or money. Pick one. Do it before bed.
Let air circulate behind it. The room reads as more spacious within an hour. The traditional vocabulary is qi flow; the modern vocabulary is airflow plus visual perception.
A table lamp, a floor lamp, three candles. Turn the overhead light off for one evening. The chronobiology literature agrees with the tradition that warm low light supports the wind-down.
If you must keep the TV as the focal point, add one chair that faces away from it toward the conversation circle. The room reads as both modern and welcoming.
