Positioning your sofa: Interior design rules

This is a highly coveted position for the living-room sofa: against a wall that faces the TV, a storage wall and, above all, the front door. This arrangement of the sofa in the living room is very commonly used for reasons of surface area and space optimization. However, in reality, this arrangement responds to another, increasingly sought-after necessity: respect for the rules of Feng Shui. In other words, balancing space, harmonies and energies. In a Feng Shui living room, the sofa must be positioned against the wall facing the entrance to the room. If the room’s configuration doesn’t allow this, it’s advisable to fill the space behind the sofa with a bookcase or a series of tall plants.
