Bedroom Feng Shui Basics
Your bedroom is the most important room in feng shui. It’s where you spend roughly one-third of your life, and the energy here directly affects your health, relationships, and overall well-being.
The Commanding Position
The most crucial feng shui principle for the bedroom is the commanding position of your bed. Your bed should be:
- Positioned so you can see the door while lying down
- Not directly in line with the door
- Against a solid wall (not under a window)
- Away from the direct path between door and window
Colors for Bedroom Harmony
Choose colors based on what you want to cultivate:
| Color | Element | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Soft blues | Water | Calm, tranquility |
| Earthy tones | Earth | Stability, grounding |
| Soft pinks | Fire | Romance, passion |
| Cream/white | Metal | Clarity, freshness |
What to Avoid
- Mirrors facing the bed
- Electronics near the headboard
- Clutter under the bed
- Sharp corners pointing at you while sleeping
Quick Wins
- Clear the clutter - Start with what’s under your bed
- Add pairs - Two nightstands, two lamps for relationship harmony
- Soft lighting - Avoid harsh overhead lights
- Fresh air - Open windows daily when possible
