Content
The Chinese Feng Shui doctrine, telling about the influence of subtle matters and landscape features on human life and health, provides knowledge on how to equip your home with maximum benefit and avoid seemingly trifles that, if improperly positioned, can have a negative impact. Therefore, feng shui bedrooms, where a person spends up to 1/3 of his life, is of great importance.
Bedroom layout
Depending on the expected effect for the inhabitants, the location of the bedroom in Feng Shui can be very different:
- To create a peaceful atmosphere, conducive to complete tranquility, the northern direction is suitable. The bedroom located here will be good for partners with an active sex life;
- The northeastern direction too activates vital energy and is suitable for very few;
- For parents and people who are firmly on their feet, the northwest will be the best option;
- Eastern direction helps to get exciting energy and is most suitable for young people;
- For business and career growth, a good solution would be the location of the bedroom in the southeast;
- The bedroom in the south will be conducive to passionate intimate relationships, while you should carefully select the remaining elements, otherwise sleep and peace may be disturbed.
The placement of the bedroom should be consistent with the placement of the bagua zones and should correspond to the sectors of the family, marriage or children.
Color gamut value
The color design of the Feng Shui bedroom should reflect the desired psychological climate, taking into account age:
- All shades of green, blue and red are best suited for adult bedroom wallpapers;
- If the bedroom is intended for children, then the color of the walls is decorated in white, silver and golden colors, while the wallpapers are selected with a typically childish pattern - toys, flowers, animals;
- For quietly sleeping and not waking up people, it is recommended to equip the bedroom in pastel soft colors, and for natures restless and emotional, more saturated shades of wallpaper and bed linen are suitable;
The color of the walls should match the purpose of the room and not violate the overall design. The presence of calm, warm colors is important here. The situation of the children's bedroom should be conducive not only to relaxation, but also to homework. Here, the presence of several bright spots that awaken the energy of the action is allowed.
When combining several colors in a design, their number should not exceed seven. This takes into account the colors of the walls, ceiling, furniture and curtains. If some element is too bright (bedspread or wallpaper), other interior items are selected in pastel colors.
To get the right idea of the color of the curtains, when they let in sunlight, before you select them in the store, you can highlight the fabric with a flashlight.
The correctly chosen color of the bedroom in Feng Shui will help direct the energy of Sheng-qi (vital) in the right direction.
Furniture arrangement
Of decisive importance in the teachings of Feng Shui on the interior of a bedroom is the proper arrangement of furniture. The bed will always be the main subject of the bedroom, and its location is very important:
- It is not recommended to put a bed against a door or a mirror, on the door-window line;
- Sharp corners of other interior items should not be directed to the bed: bedside tables, wardrobe or chair;
- The shape of the headboard can have a significant impact on life achievement;
- The bed, like other interior items in the apartment, should have legs for the unhindered circulation of vital energy. At the same time, one should not forget that one of the main rules of feng shui requires strict observance of cleanliness and lack of trash anywhere in the apartment, because dirt and garbage contribute to the accumulation of negative stagnation energy.
A wardrobe and a bedside table, along with a bed, are mandatory for almost any bedroom. The location of the cabinet, like the rest of the furniture, should be convenient, without interfering with the free circulation of sheng-qi. For this, the closet is best placed near the wall, away from the aisle.
A good solution would be to place a large mirror on the bedside table in the corner: a mirror, reflecting the light, will illuminate this part of the room, visually increasing it.
Bedroom interior
The placement of interior items using the Feng Shui rules involves first of all determining the bagua zones in the room itself.
One of the main bedroom interior items (after furniture) is a chandelier located in the luck zone (center). The degree of illumination depends on what light will come from the chandelier, and, therefore, the freedom of circulation of sheng-qi. At the same time, the chandelier should emit a soft, non-cutting light that does not create a feeling of discomfort.
The design of the bedroom can be supplemented by the placement of one picture or several. The picture should not hang over the head of the bed, like other objects, and images should cause only positive and pacifying emotions.
One of the options for wallpaper, as an important element of design, can serve as wallpaper, depicting mountain landscapes. Wall murals with sea or water patterns are not suitable for placement in the bedroom.
Mandatory design element in Feng Shui, a symbol of harmony and prosperity, are butterflies. Depicted on wallpapers, paintings or in the form of decorations, butterflies will draw the energy of love and joy into each bedroom. You cannot place butterflies on curtains or tulle, decorate a room with dried butterflies.
The placement of the aquarium in the bedroom of Feng Shui is clearly negative. After all, the aquarium is a very important element in attracting the energy of water, which is responsible for the financial well-being in the house. Before putting an aquarium, for example, in the living room, you need to choose the size, shape, location in the room and the number of fish, depending on the elements of the owner of the house.
Plants in the bedroom
In Feng Shui, placing plants in the bedroom is not a good idea, because they, like people, need oxygen. However, to improve the design of the apartment, you can choose some plants, taking into account their properties:
- Chlorophytum, Spathiphyllum, Begonia, Sansevieria, Geranium. All of these indoor plants produce more oxygen than they absorb;
- Orchid will help creative people in matters, but it can harm people insecure. Feng Shui rules forbid placing an orchid in the bedroom;
- Peonies in Feng Shui symbolize luck and wealth, activate sexual energy. Is it worth it to put peonies in the bedroom, everyone decides for himself. After all, only one partner can be activated, and the emergence of disharmony will be inevitable;
- Roses have always been a symbol and amulet of love, but they do not tolerate rivals, so they should be put on the window alone. It should be remembered that cut flowers are short-lived, and only a plant in a flowerpot can cause long-term positive changes. The best directions, as for other plants, are east, north, west, and southeast.
The plants in the bedroom should always be well-groomed (as in the whole apartment), and the number of flowers allowed for placement in the room ends with the number 3. Plants with thorns, thorns, sharp leaves, curly stems are not allowed in the bedroom.Their presence can cause family disagreements or health problems.
There are donor plants and vampire plants that absorb the energy of the inhabitants of the room. These plants should not be present in the bedroom setting: various types of ferns, Monstera, Lily, Dieffenbachia, Violet.
