Auspicious Furniture Arrangements

1. Activate The 4 Celestial Animals

• Place the main sofa (3 or 4 seater) against a solid wall to represent the Black Tortoise. On the right of the main sofa, place a one-seater to simulate the White Tiger. Place a 2-seater on the left side to represent the Green Dragon. Place a coffee table in front to symbolize the Phoenix. This arrangement will attract good fortune and creates protective luck for the family.

• Use a Solid Wall as Backing for Support Luck

• Place the largest sofa against a solid wall if possible, to signify solid support.
• The secondary sofa can have windows behind them.

• Have a Balanced Door:Window Ratio

• It is best not to have 2 doors or more in the living room. If so, it is advisable to close some of them. As for windows, the ratio of window to doors should not exceed 3:1. Use curtains to hide the presence of windows if there are too many. (Transparent sliding doors to reveal the view of the garden do not count as windows.)
