Feng Shui Spaces The Feng Shui Living Room
The Feng Shui Living Room, Den or Family Room is regarded as a public gathering room in your home. Because family and friends interact together in these rooms, the areas are considered to represent The Fire Element and Yang Energy. Here are a few items to review when you would like to harmonize and balance your gathering rooms:

- Arrange furniture to stimulate conversation. A circular arrangement or furniture grouping around the fireplace can be ideal to bring family and friends together
- Round corners on coffee and end tables are best, as sharp edges can deflect smooth Chi Flow or injure people as they walk by
- Hide TV's and all electronic equipment inside cabinets when not in use - or at least cover with a screen or decorative cloth
- The "Honored Guest" chair - the chair that you offer to your honored family member or guest should face the main door of the room
- As much as possible, bring beautiful outdoor scenery inside through clean, unobstructed windows and glass doors
- Reflect paintings or outdoor scenery with well-placed mirrors that magnify beauty and project it out into the room. Make sure that mirrors are hung in the best spot to reflect your full image. Don't hang a mirror so that the tops of heads are not visible
- Do not place seating furniture below overhead beams. Beams can be oppressive so if they are too dark, paint beams a lighter color or blend into the ceiling with the same color
