Did you know that to make a home’s energy flow smoothly that it needs to go in a specific place? This energy is known as feng shui.

Here is a guide on how to arrange furniture in your living room. A note to remember is to always have walking room.
Add Useful Furniture
Useful furniture sounds strange, but some pieces do nothing for your home and only work as fillers. These filler pieces take up more space, and we do not want that. Therefore, you should stick with furniture pieces that you know you will use. Some of these pieces include cabinets, coffee tables, side tables and lamps. Depending on the space you have and who you are as a person will determine what furniture pieces you want to go with.
