Shapes
- Square and rectangular furniture is most recommended, as it is stable and balanced.
- Avoid furniture with very sharp corners pointing at seats or beds.
- Round dining tables are less preferred; rectangular tables suit families.
Material
- Wood is the best material for most furniture.
- Avoid metal beds where possible.
- Avoid furniture made from wood of trees from cremation grounds or temples, according to tradition.
Placement
- Heavy furniture in the south and west.
- Light furniture in the north and east.
- Keep the centre of rooms free.
- Leave space for easy movement; overcrowded rooms block energy.
Condition
Repair broken furniture promptly. Wobbly chairs, broken drawers and torn upholstery are linked with instability.
