Transform Your Bedroom according to the Best Feng Shui Ideas
A comfortable place to sleep in complete privacy while having all the attributes of a well-furnished and cozy room with all your items surrounding you? Consider Feng Shui for your bedroom makeover.
If you are building your own house, you may consider a real Feng Shui design concept in your building plans. However you are doing a makeover, specific challenges face you.
Your doors and windows may or may not be in the incorrect position for a proper Feng Shui bedroom. You may have decorative or supporting beams in the room, all these considerations being quite important in a suitable Feng Shui bedroom.
The Chinese have, for over 5000+ years, been masters of comfortable and private dwellings, simple in construction and surrounded by little personal touches that make them a place to enjoy being in. Any room in your house can be a place of comfort beckoning you to enter and enjoy its surroundings, so you may consider a Feng Shui application for any room.
Let’s consider your bedroom in this instance and the seven things that are a must to make it a place of enjoyment, be it for a quick nap, a place to relax, or for some sensual time with your loved one, a time of emotional happiness and comfort or only a good night’s refreshing sleep.
1. Creative Realities
Firstly, and one of the most essential creative realities of Feng Shui, the bedroom must provide complete relaxation and intimacy. Therefore, no appliances need to be visible or even present to distract or divert your attention.
These items, often found in bedrooms such as television sets or small exercise machines, etc., can be well placed in other parts of your house.
Replace these things, preferably with small round tables with possibly a dispenser for your favorite scent, maybe the scent of your favorite perfume, that of your lover’s, or simply essential oils or woodland outdoor fresh airs where you like and feel the most relaxed. An aromatherapy burner is an excellent idea for Palm Wax candle burners. You notice we said round tables. Feng Shui is not associated with sharp edges or corners.
2. Ambiance
Secondly, the ambiance is all-important so the light should be such that it pleases you. In this day and age of electronic light emissions or energy-saving lamps, why not consider adding a little infrared mix as this is important to the eyes, thus giving the rest they need? The level of the light should be fully adjustable to suit your requirements and at your fingertips.
Whether the light is to read a book, sleep, or engage in some handicraft you prefer to do alone while resting, it should be adjusted according to the activity. Indeed, you may wish to conduct some form of exercise in the privacy of your bedrooms, such as yoga or similar acts of relaxing, which need little or soft lighting.
3. Light and Intensity
Thirdly, consider the type of light and intensity you prefer. Various light emissions from bedroom doors and windows should be controlled. A good sense of balance may be to incorporate blinds on the windows with drapes that hide these effectively.
This will enable you to control natural daylight leaving a good sense of privacy prevailing at night. These also provide the all-important ‘solid wall’ effect required. Remember, en suite bathroom doors should be kept closed. Solid spaces where windows and doors open should be solid at night when good restful sleep is needed.
4. Favorite Plants
Fourthly, you might consider including one of your favorite plants, be it a flowering plant, a shrub, or one of your best love dorchidacea, and there are thousands to choose from. These flowering plants known as herbs are not wood and are most often used in Chinese culture.
They may give a sense of visual enjoyment as well. You can also consider a plant or shrub that emits a faint but restful odor. At this time, be mindful of the air and the temperature in the room that needs to be controlled to your liking. Remember, plants need oxygen but so do you, so a steady flow of good clean air is important.
5. Furnishings
Fifthly, furnishings and your bed add a very desirable touch to a bedroom, whether you take a frequent nap or not, be a heavy or light sleeper, the bed and bedding need careful selection.
Besides being a wonderfully comfortable piece of furniture, the bed can also look attractive and should blend in with your solid headboard. Choose your designs, deep colors, or pastels carefully to blend in with the rest of the room. Remember not to place your bed below hanging objects such as ornaments, lights, etc.
This is a bad Feng Shui omen. Make sure your bed is not under windows, as windows sap energy away from the body. Ceiling beams or pillars over the bed are out.
Balance is essential to the inviting bedroom. Your furnishings need to complement each other. Thus, tables and easily accessible lighting controls should be on both sides of your bed. Timber or synthetically laminated furniture needs to be chosen to blend in with flooring or carpeting.
6. Decorating Your Bedroom
Sixthly, decorating your bedroom needs careful thought. Wallpapers, artwork, etc., are critical to a balanced and inviting room and reflect your taste. Objets’dart can be aesthetically very pleasing, adding that personal touch that is you. This is where you need to be honest with yourself and consider your nature.
Are you humorous, often sad, loud or noisy, sincere or false by nature? Your decorations’ choice must reflect your inner self, love, and intimacy to achieve that enticing ambiance that you want for the room. A place where you can be happy, which in turn means you achieve that which the bedroom means to you.
7. Placement Of Mirrors
Lastly and my seventh tip for a good fend Shui bedroom is the placement of mirrors. We know that mirrors generate energy, and a mirror, being an essential item in some areas, should be kept well away from your bed. Mirrors bring the element of water, and this attracts energy or maybe sorrow.
Energy should not be directed at the bed, and therefore, the placement of furniture with sharp edges must face away. Remember, too, that a proper Feng Shui bedroom will not have bed-facing doors or balconies.
