7 taboos in the living room everyone should know
The living room is considered the "face" of the homeowner, so living room feng shui is also extremely important.
1. Do not separate the living room:
The living room is a space where everyone in the family lives together, it is also a place to entertain guests and gather members. If you use the reason that the living room is too large and separate this place to "double-duty" as a bedroom or study room, it is a mistake.
Once the living room is “divided”, no matter what the purpose, the common magnetic field space here has been “cut off”. This easily makes the owner always feel lonely in mind. If you are single, you will hardly avoid falling into the situation of “soul mate is hard to find”.

2. Do not place horns, heads, animal skins or dried flowers:
Many people choose deer horns, rhino horns, leopard skin, even buffalo and horse head statues, etc. to decorate the living room area to show authority and luxury. But in reality, animal horns, heads, and skins (if they are genuine) are made from dead objects, creating a negative energy source that affects your living environment.
If they are fake items, those images also cause negative emotions and fear when looking at them. The same goes for dried flowers. If you have the means, you should buy fresh flowers to brighten up the room and make it more lively. If you choose dead objects, the owner's reputation and career will also be in trouble.
3. The location of the wealth should not be exposed.
The diagonal line from the entrance door to the corners of the living room is often considered the wealth position. Therefore, if the wealth position tends to be defective or goes straight to another space, it will be easy to lose money for the owner.
If you make this mistake, you can place a pot of green plants or a display cabinet to neutralize it. On the one hand, it can prevent the "wealth" from slipping away, on the other hand, it can also increase the prosperity to help absorb wealth better.
4. The front and back should not be connected in the same way.

If the living room is spacious and airy, it will be ideal for everyone to gather together. But that does not mean you should design it so that when you enter from the main door, you can see the back door directly.
This layout causes good energy to go straight to another place as soon as it enters the house, making it difficult for the owner to accumulate wealth and even causing loss of money.
5. Be careful when choosing feng shui paintings
A beautiful painting not only decorates the wall less monotonous but also brings feng shui meaning to the living room. However, not all feng shui paintings are suitable for you. Paintings of animals such as dragons, horses, tigers, eagles, etc., although have good meanings, cannot be hung arbitrarily but must be based on the correlation with the age and destiny of the homeowner.
If you want to hang a feng shui painting, you can choose one of the four painting models that are considered to be in harmony with every family. Including: Peony painting (symbolizing wealth), landscape painting (mountains represent the stability of a career and water is the source of money), fish painting (symbolizing abundance) and bamboo painting (bringing a sense of peace and stability to develop a career).
6. Don't decorate your living room like a nightclub.

Some people like to decorate their living room like a 5-star hotel, a luxury restaurant, or even a nightclub to show off their class. For them, it is perfect in every aspect, but for feng shui experts, it is completely unrealistic, even useless.
This is the type of living room that initially attracts the viewer, but then immediately leaves a feeling of emptiness. The homeowner will mistake himself for a hotel, not a real home, so this space should be decorated in the warmest, most intimate and practical way possible.
7. The living room should not be gloomy.
Adequate lighting always brings vitality and prosperity to the room. Therefore, even if you decorate the living room with green plants, you should have a reasonable layout to avoid being greedy and blocking the sunlight from shining in.
In addition, the wall paint in the living room should also choose bright colors to increase the owner's luck. The living room space is too dark, it will easily allow bad energy fields to penetrate, causing harm to the fortune and health of the family.
