rhythm attached to life. Here's your best bet: photos of ancestors belong in the south and southwest, the realm of death and ancestors. Other pictures can be placed in all the other directions. A good way to suggest this rhythm is to group the pictures by generation, placing photos of children on the west wall so that they face east, the direction of enlightenment, and photos of the older generations, but not the deceased, in the north, which represents health and wealth. Another way to honor the ongoing cycle of life is to add an heirloom or something old to a modern decor or add something modern to a traditional and antique-dominated decor. |

You can also create rhythm, which connects this space to the rest of the home and you, by featuring parts of a collection that continues from room to room. But don't clutter the living room with furniture that does not serve a specific function. Too much furniture and too much "stuff" in a living room are distracting and create a sense of claustrophobia. |

An ideal living room is friendly and welcominga space that invites everyone to relax and feel at home. Help this space live up to its name. It should vibrate in consonance with the vibrations of the occupants of the home. You want your guests to enter this room and enjoy it as much as they enjoy your company. Add more life to the room by incorporating some elements from the natural world: plants, clay pots, stone sculptures. Even if you prefer to have a formal decor, don't allow that decision to result in a room without warmth. Lighting and the use of curtains can also do a lot for the ambience. |
