5 Feng Shui Living Room Hacks

Your living room is the heart of your home—the space where energy gathers and flows. According to Marie Diamond, one of the world’s leading Feng Shui masters and the star of The Secret, your living room plays a powerful role in shaping your success, relationships, and overall well-being.

Here are 5 powerful living room Feng Shui hacks, inspired by

Diamond Feng Shui, that can elevate the energy in your space and align your home with your intentions.

1. Activate Your Success Direction with Strategic Seating

Diamond Feng Shui teaches that your personal success direction (based on your date of birth) should be supported in your main living spaces. In the living room, place your main seating—like your sofa or favorite chair—so you’re facing your success direction. This allows you to be in the flow of opportunity and power, while also staying grounded and protected.

2. Clear the Clutter, Elevate the Chi

Clutter blocks energy and creates stagnation. According to Diamond Feng Shui principles, even beautiful clutter can cause energetic confusion. Keep surfaces clear, store away unused items, and allow your living room to “breathe.”

Feng Shui Fix: Use closed storage like ottomans or cabinets to hide cords, remotes, or extra throws. An organized space invites clarity, abundance, and peace.

3. The Power of the “Command Position”

Furniture placement is key. Make sure your sofa or main seating area is in the command position—you should be able to see the main entrance of the room without being directly in line with it. This offers a subconscious sense of control and safety, which energetically supports confidence and connection.

Avoid: Sitting with your back to the door or too close to a window without support.

4. Add Symbols of Abundance and Joy

Marie Diamond emphasizes using symbols that match your goals. For wealth and success, place items like a vibrant plant, a crystal bowl, or artwork with flowing water in your prosperity area (the far-left corner from your living room entrance). For harmony and joy, choose soft textures, family photos, or art that uplifts your spirit.

Your Home, Your Vision: Your space should reflect your vision board—every item is a vote for the future you’re creating.

5. Bring in the Elements—Especially Fire and Earth

To create balance, include all five Feng Shui elements—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. The living room especially benefits from fire (inspiration, passion) and earth (stability, support).

Ideas: Use candles, a fireplace, or red and orange accents for fire. Add ceramics, stones, or earthy colors like terracotta, ochre, or beige for earth energy.

Final Thoughts from Your Feng Shui Home
