Bedroom Arrangement Feng Shui

Bedroom arrangement feng shui embraces the notion that the primary function of your bedroom is sleep and relaxation. For your overall health and well being both awake and asleep, jarring elements, like bright colors and too much clutter, as well as arrangements and objects that disrupt the flow of energy in the room should be kept to a minimum.

If you aren’t an architect with an interest in feng shui, your bedroom probably wasn’t built with the principles of harmony and good energy flow in mind. If you’re lucky, you will have some fortuitous elements in place. If not, there are still some things you can add or change about your bedroom’s design to make up for it.

The best bedrooms are small so that they can take advantage of abundant energy flow. The room itself should be located as far from exterior doors and major plumbing lines as possible. Avoid bedrooms with sloping roofs. If you have to sleep under a sloping roof, use a canopy over the bed. A canopy can also provide protection from other negative ceiling elements, like bright light fixtures, the presence of a bathroom on the floor directly above you, or a ceiling fan.

Your sleeping habits will help dictate the right exposure for the room. If you have a problem getting to sleep at night, try a Western exposure. If you tend to be a late riser and want to start getting up earlier in the morning, a bedroom with an Eastern exposure might help.

The way you decorate your bedroom will have a profound effect on the flow of positive energy within it.

Start with the walls. Choose colors that are restful. Soft colors like cream, peach, and pale pink are a good choice. A soft yellow is considered particularly beneficial. When you select wall art, choose subjects that are happy and restful. Nature images and themes in twos, like happy couples, will help promote romance and a relaxing atmosphere.

As the largest piece of furniture in the room, the bed is particularly important in bedroom arrangement feng shui. Position your bed so that the entrance door is visible but isn’t directly facing you. This is considered the position of death and is very unlucky. You should also avoid placing the bed against a window. The goal here is to be able to see what may be coming toward you without being directly in its path.

The size of your bed is important as well. As a small room maximizes energy, so does a smaller sized bed. Consider it a way to get cozy with your partner.

If you have to sleep in a non-traditional space, like a living room, try to partially enclose it with shelves or screens to create a protective area for yourself. You’re safest off the floor too, so avoid sleeping on a floor mattress or airbed whenever possible.

Mirrors are important when considering bedroom feng shui design. To keep a good flow of energy and promote astral travel, keep the number of mirrors in the room to a minimum or eliminate them completely. Never place mirrors directly opposite the entrance to the room because this will dissipate energy. If you don’t want to get rid of all the mirrors in your bedroom, at least cover them before you retire at night.

Work and sleep don’t mix, so desks are a poor idea in a feng shui optimized bedroom. Keep your work separate from your relaxation area. It’s better for your health and well being.

Electronics are out too. Televisions and even alarm clocks contribute electrical current to the room that can disrupt your sleep.

Keep clutter to a minimum. Don’t crowd the space with items that don’t belong there. Keep areas under dressers and beds free of storage containers, discarded shoes and the extra leaves from the dining room table.

Furnish your bedroom with a comfortable bed that has soft bedding made of natural materials. Steer clear of any animal skins on or around the bed, though. They may be natural, but they’ll disrupt your sleep.

Use subdued, indirect lighting, like that provided by table lamps over harsh overhead light.

• If you have to keep a desk or work area in your bedroom, try using a cabinet desk that you can close out of sight when it’s not in use.

• If you really need to have access to a bedroom mirror in the morning, and who doesn’t, position it so that it reflects the view through your windows for a relaxing slice of nature in your bedroom.

• To help insure a good night’s sleep, invest in a solid headboard.

• Looking into the bedroom from the doorway, the right hand corner of the room is an auspicious spot. Try decorating it with a small, round mirror, or a pair of figurines.

Once you’ve created a tranquil spot in which to rest and renew your energy, you’ll be ready to start on the rest of the house..
