Home & Family Facts and Notes

Many are interested in the art of feng shui because they are searching for a way to add energy and vitality to their lives, and want to do this in the most natural way possible. Others are looking for the opposite of energy; they want to feel calm and relaxed in their environment. Whatever your reasons for investigating this ancient art, there are a few simple tricks you can do to create a true feng shui bedroom for your own home.

#1 Tip to a Feng Shui Bedroom

The most important thing to do when adding feng shui elements to your bedroom is to ask yourself which kind of atmosphere you are trying to create. For instance, do you want to add spice and sexual energy to your bedroom? Or are you trying to make it a relaxing, warm place to encourage restful sleep.

When deciding on the changes that one is going to make to create a feng shui bedroom, its important to have this thought in mind first, as these two types of atmospheres are obviously diametrically opposed to one another! You dont want to create a relaxing atmosphere in room thats already lacking energy, and you dont want to bring in any more energy and tension to a room where you simply want to sleep.

Feng Shui Bedroom Tip 2

The next step you want to take when creating a feng shui bedroom is to de-clutter the room completely. The bedroom is not an exercise room, its not a laundry room, its not an office. Whether you want the room to be peaceful and relaxing or you want some energy in this room, clutter is going to keep you from achieving either one.

If you look at any magazine that has redecorating ideas, do you see a bedroom full of exercise equipment? Or things that should be in storage? No, you do not.

Feng Shui Bedroom Tip #3

Color is very important in all aspects of feng shui and the same applies to the bedroom. Dark, warm colors will be relaxing and bold, bright colors will attract energy.

Depending on your decision about what kind of atmosphere you want to create in your bedroom, you might want to choose a soothing color like dark green or brown to relax you or you might prefer purple or red tones to create tension and energy. Don’t go overboard once you have made your decision. Don’t paint every single wall red and match the bedding, ornaments and furniture. There is nothing so depressing or draining than feeling overwhelmed by one single color when you enter a room. You might want to use one main color and have accents instead, or combine two or three relaxing or energizing colors.

In order to create a real feng shui bedroom, use these three tips to get you on the way to an energized room or a peaceful retreat.
