Dear Anon,
This is an interesting question.
1. Chinese have many Gods. Many of the `first' class Gods are often placed (if one notice carefully to `guard' the main entrance).
Gods such as Goddess of Mercy etc.. are usually placed overlooking the frontage of the house.
2. Since the `kitchen' is usually behind the house, some Chinese also felt the need to protect the back of the house.
Here, one can than better understand why the advice is always to have the `first class' Gods face a window or the main entrance door.
Usually in the living room when one faces the windows, it most likely is the frontage of the house.
Hope this helps to better understand the rationale for placement of certain Gods.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
