The bedroom is one of the most important rooms in the house when it comes to your health. Even so, creating the right environment is often overlooked. It’s important to make sure that you can rest easily and healthily in your bedroom and having the right feng shui bedroom layout is part of this. Here are some tips for creating the perfect feng shui bedroom.

1. Color is a major part of creating a feng shui layout in any room and the bedroom is no exception. As a general rule you should avoid loud and overstated colors and instead go for colors that will help you to relax. White and light blue can be a good combination for this. In feng shui the act of sleeping is considered to be a yin process which means that you need to have colors that allow you to stay calm.

2. The position of your bed is also important when creating a feng shui bedroom layout. You should be able to see the door of the bedroom from your place of sleep. This helps you to feel secure. You should also make sure that the headrest of the bed is placed against a solid wall i.e. with no windows. Many people who don’t have an understanding of feng shui do this anyway as it creates an extra sense of security.

3. The bed also shouldn’t be placed underneath any sort of ceiling feature. Instead, it should always be underneath a clear piece of ceiling. Sometimes it may not be possible to combine this with point number two.

4. If you have a double bed then the sides shouldn’t be placed against the wall as this can make it difficult for both people to get in and out. Instead the bed should be aligned so there is space either side.

5. The bathroom door (if you have an en-suite) should be shut all the time to stop any flow of chi.

6. A common mistake that many people make is having TVs and other items within the bedroom that serve as a distraction. If at all possible your bedroom should only be used for relaxing and sleeping. If it becomes an entertainment area then it’s much more difficult to relax.

7. It might sound obvious but cleaning and tidying your bedroom regularly is important for feng shui. Although this isn’t strictly a layout concern it can make a big difference. Feng shui states that any mess in the room can affect the flow of chi – the body’s life force – which in turn will affect sleep patterns and relaxation.

The bedroom is where you spend a lot of your time both sleeping and relaxing. If it isn’t setup correctly or contains a lot of clutter then this will affect your ability to sleep deeply which is important for the body’s overall health. Having the right feng shui bedroom layout can go a long way to ensuring that your bedroom is the relaxing haven that you need.

I wish you all the best on your feng shui bedroom layout adventure.
