Some living rooms exude a certain tranquillity at a glance, with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s Bahamas space being my favorite example.

If you've ever looked at a room, like the musician's, and found it hard to describe exactly what makes it feel so peaceful, the answer is feng shui – an invisible force that's made up of tangible furniture and color choices. You're left with a particular feeling, that's a direct response to the way a room is arranged – and Tim and Faith's design is the ultimate blueprint.

'The position of your sofa is paramount to the Feng Shui of your living room. Ideally, it should face the entrance of the room, while an armchair should be placed diagonally, opposite the doorway with a solid wall close behind,' comments Feng Shui expert Diane Shilito for Barratt London.

Additionally, as mentioned, decorating with blue, like Tim and Faith, is one of the most powerful ways to enhance tranquility in your space.

'Studies show that blue can help lower blood pressure, making it a wonderful colour for spaces designed for comfort and peace,' Diane says.

To make it easier to follow their example, I've listed some of my favorite Tim and Faith-inspired accessories to bring the same energy to your home.

Beyond the living room sofa placement and color palette, Diane explains that Tim and Faith's floral accessories and indoor/outdoor design are similarly beneficial for feng shui.

'Introducing indoor plants and flowers is a good idea. Different flowers have different meanings, so placing a mixed bouquet of flowers in the room can support the energy for manifesting intentions,' she says. 'Alongside this, when it comes to lighting, natural light is invaluable to maintain a positive energy flow, so open windows regularly and keep them clean and unobstructed.'

Lastly, if you want to take their teachings a step further, Diane recommends introducing a mirror opposite your doorway.

'A mirror positioned to reflect the doorway gives sufficient visibility of who is entering the room, which provides a sense of security and enhances relaxation. A mirror can also be positioned to reflect a beautiful view, such as the outside landscape or a piece of artwork, she says.

With a little feng shui magic – sofas in the right spot, soothing colors, and a touch of nature – any living room can capture the effortless peace of Tim and Faith’s Bahamas retreat.
