The living room is reflect the personalities of the home’s occupants. Plan to decorate your new living room with pictures, artwork and memorabilia. When assessing a living room keep in mind the following:

It should be regular in shape - square and oblong are the best. However, some of the furniture should be round, such as rugs and end tables, as round shapes represent money in Feng Shui.

The room should be well lit and have exposure to natural sunlight.

Avoid sunken living rooms, which can collect stagnant energy.
