Using Feng Shui to Position Your TV Lift Console

Having good feng shui in a living space transforms it into a serene and peaceful haven, where you can slip off your shoes, pour a drink and relax – whether it’s in the evenings after work or at the weekends in your downtime. If you’ve recently invested in a hidden TV lift cabinet, or if you’re considering doing so in the near future, why not use this as the ideal opportunity to bring some much-needed feng shui into your home?

At Cabinet Tronix we’ve put together a number of feng shui tips and guidance, so that anyone looking to rearrange their furniture to accommodate a new luxury TV stand can do so with the main principles in mind. Say hello to a calm and relaxing new lounge!

The Sofa

The sofa is arguably one of the two most important pieces of furniture in any living space, so it’s crucial that you get this one positioned perfectly.

• The first priority is to ensure that the sofa is against a solid wall. The belief in feng shui is that otherwise, those using the sofa will have no support in their lives!
• Secondly, when sitting on a sofa, you should always be able to see the door – if you’re desperate to have the sofa facing another way, place a clever mirror to ensure you’ll be able to see the entrance to the room.
• Lastly, avoid sitting under a beam. It’s said these can cause not only migraines and other health problems, but also financial losses – we don’t know about you, but we don’t want to risk it!

Plants

Energy, vitality and life are important concepts in feng shui, so plants should always play an important role. Place them in the south east or the east of your living space – the south east brings wealth and abundance, the south brings fame and recognition, and the easy brings good health and vitality. Choose wisely, or cover all bases and go for all three!

Images

There’s nothing worse than looking at bare walls, and feng shui has some important rules for the pictures you hang, too. The first rule is to banish images that show sadness, violence or loneliness – they can cultivate the same feelings for people in the room. Placing a family picture in a metal frame in the west of your living room is said to bring luck for all members of the family, while a picture of a house in the south of the room attract fame and recognition.

The TV

Lastly, we come to the focal point of the room – the TV. Strictly speaking, the rules of feng shui dictate that we shouldn’t have televisions in the home at all – but with the media centre being a modern necessity, there are plenty ways around it.

• Place it in a corner, diagonally facing outwards. This helps dilute its influence over the rest of the space while ensuring that everyone can see it properly.
• Hide the TV when not in use, if possible. The TV lift consoles from Cabinet Tronix are a great way to keep TVs safe, secure and out of sight when they’re not switched on.
• Minimise clutter around the TV – ensure wires aren’t visible, and keep the area tidy and neat.

So there you have it, a basic feng shui guide to rearranging your furniture and incorporating your stunning pop-up TV lift from Cabinet Tronix.
