Buying furniture for your new home can be a tedious task. Many people go from pillar to post looking for that perfect piece to suit their home. Some want expensive furniture, while some look for bargains. In the end everyone wants his or her home to feel welcoming and comfortable.
There are no set guidelines in Feng Shui for buying furniture. However it is important to buy pieces that are in proportion to your home and complement the layout. Buying oversized pieces can cause havoc with energy stagnation. And too small pieces can give an empty look to the house and create a feeling of loss.
To begin with the furniture at the entrance of the flat or your villa should be snugly fitting. Oversized shoe cabinets or huge chairs blocking the entrance are generally not a good sign. Keep the entrance open and free. As per Flying Star school of Feng Shui, your entrance layout will be decided based on what element is predominantly present in that area. However as per Form school Feng Shui, shapes and sizes of objects in the entrance will impact the energy flow negatively or positively.
The living room sofas and coffee table should be in proportion to the living room and should not block THE walking path around it. Open space allows energy to easily move around.
The dining table is preferred to be either round or oval. If it is square then the edges need to be softened for smooth energy flow. The table size needs to be smaller than the dining room and there should be enough room for the energy to flow around.
In the kitchen place the stove in the corner, away from the door or walking path, as an exposed stove is not considered good in Form school Feng Shui.
Study room table must have a wall support and be kept away from the door for enhanced focus and concentration. Keeping television and music away from this room is a good idea.
The size of the bed needs to complement the size of the room. Oversized beds hamper energy flow and create stagnation in the bedroom. The bed must be kept on the solid wall away from the main door and window.
It is not always possible to hire a Feng Shui consultant or follow Flying Star school of Feng Shui to smoothen the energy flow within your home. Sometimes simple Form school Feng Shui furniture placement tips can open up energy and create a happy home!
