Feng Shui in the Bedroom

Feng shui is derived from China and is the practice of placing objects carefully within a space to achieve harmony and a positive flow of chi. In this blog we will explore how you can practice feng shui in your bedroom.

Positioning the Bed to Achieve Feng Shui

Symmetry is a core principle of feng shui. So, when it comes to positioning the bed, try and leave equal space on each side of your bed. if your room does not allow this, try to allow as much room between the bed and the wall as possible even if this is just a few inches! In order to make the room functional try adding a bedside to both sides of your bed, even if you sleep alone, and a lamp on top of each. This will help with balance and symmetry is aesthetically pleasing.

Your bed is the most important feature in the room, and therefore should command the best position. As a rule, your bed should have a good view of the door but not directly in line with it. Placing the door directly facing the door is often referred  to by people who practice feng shui as the ‘coffin position’ and therefore does not promote good energy. The best placement is diagonally across from the door If the bedroom allows.

Choosing the Type of Bed to Complete a Feng Shui Bedroom

Choosing a bigger bed is great way of incorporating Feng Shui in your bedroom. Feng shui focuses on how we as humans interact with our space and furniture. A bedroom is about sleeping, so choosing the biggest possible bed is a great way of incorporating feng shui in the room
