Maintain Proper Bedroom Feng Shui w/ These Dos and Don'ts
advertisement
Feng shui (风水, literally “wind and water”), is an ancient art form in China that posits that if the placement of your various adornments and decorations are correct and in order, you shall be endowed with fortune and good health.
According to the philosophical practice, maintaining good feng shui keeps the 气 (qì, “energy”) flowing, and although largely regarded as a pseudo-science in the scientific community, its popularity endures among those who admire the simple – if not at times rather obvious – advice that it provides.

Here we'll outline a number of feng shui do’s and don’ts for what is arguably the most important room in your house: the bedroom.
Don’t oversize your bedroom
Don’t place the head of your bed directly under a window or ceiling beam, or in a corner, or directly in line with the door
Don’t place large furniture by your bed
Don’t have mirrors facing or at the foot of your bed
Don’t keep a fish tank or any large water containers in your bedroom
Don’t decorate your bedroom with odd decorations, especially those with human faces or animal heads on them
Don’t hang sharp or heavy objects over your bedside
Don’t store clutter under your bed
Don’t keep big plants in your bedroom, or if you do, place them as far away from your bed as possible
Place your bed somewhere where you can see the door while in it
Choose furniture with soft lines rather than sharp edges
Use fabric or curtains to cover mirrors or TVs
If you have an en suite, keep the bathroom door closed
If you already sleep well but wake up still feeling tired, maybe it’s time to use the above guidelines to rearrange your bedroom for a better feng shui. Then again, maybe it's just time for a new mattress.
