Many are interested in the art of feng shui because they are searching for a way to add energy and vitality to their lives, and want to do this in the most natural way possible. Others are looking for the opposite of energy; they want to feel calm and relaxed in their environment. Whatever your reasons for investigating this ancient art, there are a few simple tricks you can do to create a true feng shui bedroom for your own home.
Feng Shui Bedroom Tip #1
The first and most important thing you can do before making any changes to your bedroom is to ask yourself what type of atmosphere you are trying to create. For example, do you want to feel warm and relaxed at night, and have a room that encourages you to drop off to sleep immediately, or are you looking to add some spice to your bedroom, and perhaps create some sexual energy as well?
When deciding on the changes that one is going to make to create a feng shui bedroom, it’s important to have this thought in mind first, as these two types of atmospheres are obviously diametrically opposed to one another! You don’t want to create a relaxing atmosphere in room that’s already lacking energy, and you don’t want to bring in any more energy and tension to a room where you simply want to sleep.
Feng Shui Bedroom Tip #2
The next step you want to take when creating a feng shui bedroom is to de-clutter the room completely. The bedroom is not an exercise room, it’s not a laundry room, it’s not an office. Whether you want the room to be peaceful and relaxing or you want some energy in this room, clutter is going to keep you from achieving either one.
Take a look at any picture of any decorating magazine, and notice their rooms. How many are cluttered with all these excessive things? Obviously the answer is none of them.
Feng Shui Bedroom Tip #3
The use of color is so important in feng shui, and the bedroom is no exception. Bright, bold colors usher in energy, while dark and warm colors relax and calm you.
Depending on the decision you made above about the atmosphere you want to create in your feng shui bedroom, you can choose a bold and energetic color such as red or purple to create energy and tension, or warm and soothing colors such as brown and dark green to relax and calm you. However, with either decision, don’t go overboard and make either choice overwhelming. Nothing drains or depresses you faster than feeling overwhelmed by the color of a room the moment you walk in.
So if you apply these three simple tips that we’ve given you, then you too can have a true feng shui bedroom that will either calm and soothe your jangled nerves, helping you get a good night’s rest, or that will introduce some spice and energy to your life.
