The feng shui method recommends using colors such as warm neutrals to bright gray to accentuate the living room.

It is also important to have a file — It is also important to have a piece of “orders”, which can be the sofa and in some cases, the fireplace.

Designers Anije Cho and Amanda Amato tell Good Housekeeping how basic changes can help you unwind after a long day at work or leisure.

While you should always choose the colors you gravitate toward, experts recommend a variety of palettes in the living room, from warm neutrals to crisp grays.

The room’s colours, design and décor should be tailored to the main purpose of the area as an actual gathering space.

Amato, of AMA Designs & Interiors, recommends strong colors if you have a lot of visitors, and relaxing tones for people who live a more laid-back lifestyle.

It’s not a bad idea to let the sofa take over, if at all possible.

Avoid placing the back of the sofa facing the entrance to your living room, as the ideal furniture arrangement is where you can see the sofa as you approach the space.

If your design strategy doesn’t allow for this arrangement, place a short console table behind the sofa to display pretty table lamps, accessories, or a water feature.

Arranging furniture and artwork around the fireplace for a warm and welcoming atmosphere is also a good rule, as the safe haven can also be the focal point of the living room.

When it comes to lighting, balance is definitely key.

A dimly lit space can definitely spoil your mood, but a room that’s too bright can be annoying.

“The best solution is to have different types of lights, such as low table lamps for mood lighting, combined with recessed ceiling lights for overall lighting,” said Reiko Gomez of Reiko Design, who prefers layering and using dimmer switches when possible.

Creating a smooth sense of flow is vital in the world of feng shui.

Your arrangement will likely be too tight if you have to twist and twist to get past pieces of furniture or squeeze between chairs to prevent tripping.

You should consider opening up your space a bit more and removing a few pieces of furniture.

“Wholesale [living room] Designer Chu, on Good Housekeeping, explains that it’s a place to live.”

She added, “Often closer to the front door, it’s a more public-facing room in your home than a bedroom or office, so the colors and layout should reflect that.”

Feng Shui living room recommendations also include using plants as decor, opening windows, and reducing clutter and alertness with mirrors and wall art.

Stick to cool prints like beach photos and hang them an inch higher than usual, because placing them too low can dampen your mood.
