Feng Shui Bedroom

When considering feng shui principles in the bedroom, remember that the bedroom is a key area that we focus on when applying Feng Shui to a house. The bedroom is important as it is the place where you rest and recuperate. As such we need the feng shui of the bedroom to be calm, peaceful, restful, and supportive to one's health.

Feng Shui Bedroom for Health and Well-Being


The health aspect is key. When analyzing a house, the priority for the remedies in the bedroom should be the health. In xuan kong terms (flying stars) this means that the people or mountain star should be supportive for the health of the person. If it is not, then the correct elemental remedy should be applied. For example, if the mountain star of 2 is present in the bedroom, then we need metal to reduce the ill effects of that star.

If you do not know about the flying stars, then you should focus on the environmental aspects of feng shui for the bedroom. Here is one point from a discussion that was very interesting. Master Larry Sang of the American Feng Shui Institute suggested that you should not have circular and rectangular furniture mixed in a bedroom as it can create discord. In fact, circular shapes promote activity and square and rectangular shapes promote stability and rest. So it is best not to have circular beds and to use more square or rectangular shapes in your areas that you are trying to achieve a peaceful and restful environment in your bedroom.

The bedroom should be a place for rest and recovery. It should be designed with peace in mind. Do not have a lot of clutter and haphazardly collected furniture, books, electronics, etc. Make it a sanctuary away from the rest of the crazy world. Use soft designs and avoid using sharp colors or patterns. Of course the great debate is whether a television should occupy the room. If it is a sha (negative influence) to getting rest, then it shouldn't be there. Additionally, the screen should not be directly across from you as it acts as a reflective object that can create another form of sha. If you wake up and see your own movement in the screen, you might think it is someone else and get startled. As such, you should not have the TV directly across from you.

Feng Shui Bedroom Tips

• Keep the bedroom clean and fresh (open the windows if need be)
• Avoid placing the bed to a corner. Always use a flat wall behind the headboard
• Do not place your bed under an exposed beam if at all possible. You should have a comfortable sleeping position
• Avoid having a mirror at the foot of the bed facing the bed

Keep in mind that the bedroom should be calming and peaceful, thus you should not have a lot of work going on in the bedroom and do not keep an office in the bedroom. Avoid clutter. Keep the room peaceful and neat. Work towards supporting your own rest. Remember that the bedroom is your place for rest and recovery. Treat your bedroom with respect and thus you are respecting yourself.

What bedroom company, what style, how much?

There is a variety of different types of bedroom furniture. Some can be cheap and cheerful and others can be more expensive and bespoke to your needs. Firstly, you have to decide what bedroom furniture your need - A bed side table? Mirror / wooden wardrobe? Dressing table? Or another piece of furniture?

Ask yourself 4 questions, this will help establish exactly what you are looking for:

Question 1: How quickly do you need the furniture?
Question 2: What quality should the furniture be?
Question 3: How much are you willing to spend?
Question 4: Do you want to customise your bedroom furniture?

Bedroom Furniture Option 1
Flat pack furniture – You can buy flat pack furniture from a various number of well known outlets – IKEA and Argos, to name a couple. You receive the furniture and assemble it yourself. Some retailers will build the furniture for you but this can cost extra. The furniture can also be purchased from a catalogue or direct from the store.

Pros: Furniture is cheaper than other options. The quality is generally OK and can be purchase quickly from local retailers

Cons: The furniture cannot be customised to your own design taste (different colour etc) and will not be build into your bedroom i.e. freestanding.

Bedroom Furniture Option 2
A high street fitted bedroom – Most fitted bedroom and sliding wardrobe companies will integrate your bedroom furniture into your room and allow you to choose the material from a list. You can choose the design from a range of bedroom ‘sets’ which will represent the range on offer to you. The set you choose would be fitted to your room and fully integrated.

Pros: Bedroom furniture is better quality than flat pack

Cons: Furniture will take weeks to order, deliver and assemble, can sometimes be very expensive if using the wrong company and you can’t customise the bedroom furniture.

Bedroom Furniture Option 3
A bespoke bedroom – bedroom furniture which is completely customisable and fitted to the room specification. The difference between choosing option 2 or 3 is with 3 you make the decisions, you can fully design or change an bedroom style to suit your taste.

Pros: Bedroom furniture is better quality than flat pack, completely customisable, fully integrated, same price as high street brands (if not cheaper) and uses excellent quality materials.

Cons: Furniture will take weeks to order, deliver and assemble, can sometimes be very expensive if using the wrong company and you can’t customise the bedroom furniture.

When you purchase your bedroom furniture have an idea of what you want, have a price in mind and shop around.

You can really find value in smaller, lesser known companies who can customise your bedroom furniture and mirror doors to your design & personal standards.

P.s. I welcome your thoughts back on this article; anybody with good or bad experiences with fitted bedroom furniture please feel free to share your experience. Also, I should mention, if you don’t mind quality, customisation or want to spend a lot of money then I can recommend charity shops, such as the Salvation Army who provide a very worthwhile service.
