Wouldn't it be great to create a peaceful oasis in the middle of your busy life? Using these Feng Shui bedroom tips to redecorate your bedroom is a great way to totally change the energy of your bedroom without spending a ton of money.
The goal of decorating a Feng Shui bedroom is to achieve a balanced room, promoting energy for recuperative sleep and sexual healing. Start with your bed. Experts believe your bed is the single most important piece of Feng Shui furniture in your life! You spend 1/3 of your life there, so it has the closest connection with your personal energy. What makes a great Feng Shui bed? Start with the mattress/bedding. You want a mattress/bedding that will make you feel cocooned, comfy and provide you with the best night's sleep, since that's the key to good health during the day. Avoid used mattresses, as they retain the energy of the previous owner. Dress your bed in higher thread-count sheets and accessories made from natural fibers so you feel pampered and comfortable. Next check your headboard. The best Feng Shui headboards are solid wood or upholstered, since these offer the best combination of support and protection for your head. Finally, elevate your bed off the floor to promote good energy flow around you while you sleep. Avoid storing things under your bed, which blocks that flow.
Bed Headboards Only
The placement of your bed is one of the most important Feng Shui bedroom tips, as you want it to promote a loving and healing energy. Your goal is to find the Feng Shui Command Position - the area diagonal to the door, still in sight, but not directly in line with it. This includes patio, bathroom, and closet doors too. Close all of these doors at night while you sleep to allow for the most beneficial flow of energy to reinforce your good health and relationship health as well. Place your headboard against a wall for support, and make sure there are no sharp angles from furniture or walls facing your bed.
These Feng Shui bedroom tips will help you decide which furniture and accessories stay and those that go! Of course you are trying to maintain or attract a healthy relationship. Balance between partners is essential. This applies to your room as well. Place nightstands on both sides of the bed. This provides a grounding and balanced energy. Be sure the art in the room reflects the life you want to be living. Remove depressing, sad or violent art, and replace with relaxing, romantic or sensual art. Also, never place a mirror directly facing the bed. Not only does it drain your personal energy store, but it is thought to bring a "third" person into your intimate relationship - never a good idea!
Fresh air and light are essential to creating a healthy bedroom environment, so ditch the dark, depressing wall color, and open those blinds and windows. Install a dimmer switch for the main fixture to control the amount of light you need at the time, plus place bedside lamps on both sides of the bed for balance. Ditch fluorescent bulbs! Use soothing colors to achieve balance in your bedroom. Experts agree that the best Feng Shui bedroom colors are skin colors, which range from pale white to the deepest chocolate brown. Pick the one that is most soothing for you.
Accessorize your space with candles, crystals and other Feng Shui love symbols. Candles provide a healing glow, and purify the energy of your space. Choose a high quality, toxin-free candle and burn for 15 minutes before you go to bed. Place a bowl full of rose quartz to encourage love, romance and heal a broken heart. Plants are not recommended in the bedroom. They release carbon dioxide at night and possess a growing energy, both foils to a good night's sleep.
This section of Feng Shui bedroom tips addresses energy sappers in the bedroom. Experts recommend you remove these items since they interrupt a healthy energy flow and a good night's sleep: TV, exercise equipment, a home office, and pictures of your friends and family (do you really want them watching you?). If you absolutely can't avoid removing some of these items, consider separating them from the main space using a screen or curtain.
By employing a few Feng Shui bedroom tips, you can inexpensively redecorate your bedroom, completely changing the energy flow, and making it the peaceful, island of tranquility in the sea of your busy life.
