Feng Shui Your Bedroom In 6 Easy Steps

The science and practice of Feng Shui has its roots in ancient Chinese culture. Its aim, balance energies within the home in order to create happier, healthier and successful lives. The bedroom is a special place in Feng Shui because people spend a fair bit of time in this space. Having a bedroom that follows the rule of Feng Shui helps you get sound sleep, more self-control and deflects negative energies.

To transform your bedroom into a Feng Shui heaven, consider implementing the following tips:

1.  Opt for a Sturdy Headboard:

The best headboards are ones constructed from solid wood or even upholstered. This provides your bedroom with support. During sleep, your body goes into repair mode on different levels. Your head in particular will require support, protection and good backing. This is what a sturdy headboard can provide.

2.  Invest in a Supportive Mattress:
There are many modern mattress options in the market. The best way to choose one is test it. If a particular mattress interests you, lay on it as you would at home. Ask yourself whether it supports your back and head. Do you feel comfortable in it? Is it too hard or too soft? A medium firm mattress is the best option. In addition, avoid purchasing used mattresses as these may have accumulated negative energies from the previous owner. 

3.  Select a Bed at a Good Height:

To ensure, a balanced energy flows underneath your bed, your bed must be at a good height above the floor. Modern beds with built-in storage underneath are considered bad for Feng Shui because they block circulation. The solution: choose a modern furniture style four poster bed. The design of this type of bed is off the floor and it doesn’t have drawers. 

4.  Position the Bed away from the Door:

Try to position the bed as far away from the door as possible. Placing your bed at a diagonal distance works well too, but it must never be aligned with your door. This applies to the bathroom, balcony and closet door as well. Do not align your bed with any doors as this attracts negative energy.

5.  Balance the energy on either side of your Bed:

You need to ground the energy of your bed and the best way to achieve this is by placing two contemporary furniture style modern nightstands on either side. Place a lamp on both nightstands. This provides soft lighting and keeps the energy balanced in your bedroom. Ideally, the nightstand should be round as this cuts negative energies.

6.  Position your TV and Desk away from the Bed:

Ideally, there should not be a television set, computer or desk in a bedroom. This should be a place exclusively for sleep. If you must have any or all of these in your bedroom, place them as far away from the bed as you can. Drape a light cloth or scarf over your television, desk and computer so that it doesn’t interfere with your bedroom’s positive energy.
