8 Simple Ways to Feng Shui Your Bedroom

 

Feng shui is a Chinese system that focuses on creating balance and using certain techniques to optimize energy flow. It’s all about helping individuals feel connected to their environment and at peace in their space.

 

Your home and especially your bedroom, should be a place where you feel comfortable and safe. These simple and budget-friendly Feng Shui bedroom tweaks can bring harmony and good vibes to your place of rest.

 

Make sure there is open space under your bed to promote the flow of energy. Lift your bed using plastic bed risers or if it already has some lift, use a different spot for storage.

 

When it comes to the color of your room, you’ll want to pick soothing tones that encourage rest and relaxation. Calming colors include light blues and greens, ivories, lavender and skin tones. Avoid powerful stimulating colors like red and orange.

 

 

During the day, open drapes and windows to allow as much natural light to enter as possible. When it’s time for bed, draw the black out curtains. A cool dark room is the best environment for a good night’s sleep.

 

Put matching nightstands on either side of your bed to help center yourself. This can also provide feelings of security and encourage balance.

 

 

Ground the energy of your bedroom with a round area rug. Rugs help your bedroom feel warm and cozy, and also help absorb sounds.

 

Taking a few minutes to make your bed each morning not only brings closure to the act of sleeping, but it will also leave you with a sense of accomplishment and self-esteem to start the day.

 

 

Your bedroom should be a peaceful place that allows your brain to wind down when it’s time to rest. Don’t mix the energy of the work day with your place of sleep. That means no desk, no computer, no work phone or don’t even read over documents or reports from the day.
