Bedroom Fend Shui: 3 Essential Considerations

by Kelly Kim

1. Color and design are critical.

Paint bedrooms with cool, soothing colors. Good color options for bedrooms are skin colors: yellows, browns, taupes, pinks, or beige. Avoid blue or dark-colored ceilings, wallpaper with plants or flowers (a feng-shui no-no for bedrooms), actual plants or flowers in the bedroom, or water elements, such as fish, lakes, or water.

2. The bed is where it’s at.

Make sure the bed is at the widest part of the room and the door to the room can be seen from the bed. This is a critical feng shui element. Bed placement is extremely important especially if the bed is placed on the same wall as the bedroom door. This will bring serious disagreements for the couple.

The bed should also not face a bathroom, see a toilet, share the same wall as a toilet, or be directly opposite a door. It’s also best if the bed doesn’t face a closet or bookshelves of some kind.

Likewise, be sure to give yourself some support. Beds that have the headboard to a window give little support. If this is the best (or only) position for the bed, place a wooden screen between the bed and the window to simulate a wall or hang heavy drapes that can be closed at night.

Headboards are best if they are solid. Iron bars can create headaches and lack of support. In Conclusion, don’t go out without making your bed. Really, now, how hard is it to make a bed?

3. Look Up.

Got a ceiling fan purring above your bed? Lots of us do. This could be cooling you down literally and romantically. Ceiling fans above the bed cut off your body’s chi (energy) — and your romantic chi. You also might avoid turning on the fan for a week and see what happens who knows? If you are trying to conceive, turn the fan off altogether.
