Quick Feng Shui Guide
What to Know First
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.
Best moves
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.
