How should I arrange my living room sofa for good energy and luck?

The ultimate rule for sofa placement is having a "solid backing." It is best to place your sofa against a solid wall, which symbolically represents strong support in your career and life, attracts helpful people (mentors), and provides a deep sense of psychological security.

You should strictly avoid placing a sofa right in the center of the room, or with doors, windows, or walkways directly behind it. In Feng Shui, this is considered a "draining layout" that causes energy to scatter, which can easily lead to financial loss and unwanted office politics or backstabbing.

If your room layout is limited, you can place a low console table or a stylish room divider behind the sofa to artificially create that "solid backing," which effectively stabilizes and grounds the energy of your entire home.
