The bedroom is a special room in the house. This is not only a place of rest, but also a small world where family members live a significant part of their life, communicate with each other. This is the room where Feng Shui science pays special attention. Feng Shui bedroom is the center of calm and tranquility in the house, which are characterized by soft and delicate Yin energy.
Harmony of energies
Proper design of any room in accordance with Feng Shui has the main goal: to allow the flow of Chi energy to move freely and to prevent the movement of negative Sha energy. Therefore, you need to start creating the perfect bedroom by choosing its correct location in the house.
When determining a place for a bedroom in your home, it’s worth stopping at that room, which is located far from the entrance, from the toilet and kitchen, as well as from non-residential premises. Ideally, if the bedroom is located on the second floor of a private house, however, under it should also be a closed living space, and not a yard or garage. If the area of housing allows, it is better not to combine the bedroom with a wardrobe or study.
Feng Shui recommends using the Bagua compass to identify sectors of the house that are suitable for equipping the bedroom. At the same time, for people of different ages, fate and character, the correct choice of sector may vary.
- According to Feng Shui, the northern part of the house is ideal for a married bedroom, but it does not fit lonely people.
- The Northwest is good for mature people who have already gained stability and a certain status in life. A creative and vibrant east is suitable for children and young couples.
- In the western direction, you need to arrange the bedroom for those who do not plan active work and career, but are prone to romance and pleasure.
- The south side of the house is shown to those who seek to revive their intimate life. True, relaxing in the "southern" bedroom does not work.
- By organizing sleep and relaxation in the southeast of the home, a person receives strength for creativity, successful business, fruitful cooperation in a team.
Adverse sectors for the bedroom are:
- Northeast, carrying too much Qi energy and causing a restless dream with many dreams;
- Southwest is a place of unbalanced energy. A person resting here feels anxiety and self-doubt.
If it is impossible to transfer the place of sleep to a suitable zone, the symbols and talismans of Feng Shui, as well as, for example, a bouquet of fresh flowers in the bedroom, will help smooth out the negative effect and activate positive energy.
Yin and Little Yang
The energy of Yin should prevail in the bedroom, so it is advisable to decorate the room in soft pastel colors. Stimulate the energy of Yin with the soft outlines of furniture and gentle, dim lighting.
On the other hand, small notes of Yang energy, which is responsible, among other things, for sexual harmony, are necessary to create strong relationships between spouses. Therefore, the delicate colors of the bedroom in Feng Shui can be diluted with red notes. It can be bright flowers on bedding, red candles, a purple photo frame or a beautiful vase.
The main danger to harmony in the bedroom is sharp corners and bulky objects, which seem to throw arrows of negative energy in the people around them. The fewer they will be in the room, the better it will affect the health and well-being of its inhabitants. Therefore, the cabinets in the bedroom should be as small as possible, as well as their contents.
Old rubbish, unnecessary things, taking years to hang on hangers, is another enemy of harmony in the house as a whole and in the bedroom in particular.
When creating the interior of the bedroom, Feng Shui does not recommend hanging lamps over the bed. In extreme cases, the lamps in them should be dim. It is better to put a small floor lamp on the bedside table. By the way, the height of the bedside table should not be higher than the mattress of the bed, so as not to create additional sharp corners.
Feng Shui symbols will help to activate the calm tone and romance of the bedchamber: mandarin ducks, angels, red and pink candles, crystals, “dream catchers”.
At the same time, the paintings in the bedroom in Feng Shui should not depict rivers, seas, waterfalls and other shapes of moving water. Decorative fountains are also best left for places of Yang energy in the house.
About the layout of the bed
The central element of the bedroom in Feng Shui is the bed. The ancient doctrine especially insists that, regardless of the availability of free square meters in the house, you need to sleep on the bed, and not on a folding sofa and other compact structures.
When it comes to the matrimonial bedroom, then in it you need to put an ordinary double bed, comfortable and moderately large. Do not move 2 beds together - this will not add harmony in a married relationship. The best way out is to purchase a bed with a soft bend of the back (rounded or wavy), without elaborate curls and unnecessary decor. Between the floor and the mattress should be some space that cannot be cluttered with things.
Feng Shui attaches great importance to the location of the bed. The bed must necessarily touch the back of the wall, but you do not need to put it close to the corner of the room. From the possible variations, choose the one at which you can see the door lying on the bed. However, the “legs to the door” option should be excluded for obvious reasons.
It is undesirable to put a bed between the door and the window, as well as turn its head to the window, so that unfavorable energy flows do not fall on the head of a sleeping or resting person along with daylight. It is allowed to have a mirror in the Feng Shui bedroom, however the spouses bed should not be reflected in it; the number of mirrors in this room generally needs to be minimized.If it’s impossible to implement the ideal option, build a stylish fabric canopy for the bed, which will protect people resting on it from the flow of unfavorable energy.
In conclusion, it is worth emphasizing that all the efforts of the owners of the house to create the perfect bedding for Feng Shui can be crossed out if the room is not maintained order and cleanliness. The bedroom should always be cleaned, ventilated and ready to accept the owners for rest and sleep.
