Bedroom in Feng Shui: location on the cardinal points, diagrams and photos

Feng Shui rules

From the point of view of ancient science, the streams of Shen Qi energy constantly circulate in space. Nothing should interfere with these currents, since the negative energy of Sha accumulates in places of stagnation, affecting well-being, family relationships and financial well-being. The task of feng shui is to direct positive energy in the right direction with the help of a competent organization of the surrounding space

Let's consider a few basic points that will help you better understand ancient Chinese philosophy:

• Feng Shui is not a set of recommendations on how to properly place furniture in the "zone of wealth", "love" and "health". Science is based on the search for beauty and harmony.
• First of all, a Feng Shui bedroom must be clean. Dust-free lamps and shelves, streak-free windows and mirrors, washed floors - a guarantee of peace and harmony.
• Amulets and talismans have nothing to do with the classical teachings of feng shui, so it is not recommended to litter the living space with crystals, coins and figurines.
• Ready-made feng shui schemes may not work if they are applied without taking into account the characteristics of the house and the nature of its inhabitants. Chi energy has a positive effect on a person if he himself is determined to change for the better.

Color selection

The color scheme in the Feng Shui bedroom is chosen taking into account the taste and well-being of its owner. For a person who does not have problems with sleep, it is better to give preference to warm light colors: beige, creamy, pink. The main decoration of the bedroom - the color of the wallpaper or paint - should remain neutral. In minimal quantities, bright accents of Yang energy are also acceptable: yellow, orange and rich green. These include pillows, carpet, and bedding.

If a married couple needs to return romance and passion, Feng Shui experts recommend using a bedspread and curtains in red or burgundy.

The color of a feng shui bedroom affects people in different ways. Those who sleep restlessly, often wake up and have emotional dreams, it is recommended to maintain the interior in cold tones of Yin energy: gray-violet, lilac, dark green. Also allowable is blue and even black - it is believed that it absorbs failure and protects the house, but a dark interior is not suitable for anxious and melancholic people.

For those who wish to improve their health, Feng Shui masters are advised to decorate the bedroom in shades of metal - white, gray, golden.

Arrangement of furniture

The central place in any bedroom is the bed:

• It is best if it is made from natural material.
• According to Feng Shui, the space under it should be left open so that positive energy can circulate freely.
• If the room is shared by two people, the passage to the sleeping place should not be difficult for both.
• To feel safe, it is recommended to place the head of the bed against the wall. Massive chandeliers, cabinets and shelves should not be placed above it.
• If the sleeper is directed with his head towards the window, you should reduce the negative impact of open space and hang blackout curtains.

It is desirable that furniture (bed, chest of drawers, dressing table) have as few sharp corners as possible. Feng Shui adherents place bedside tables on both sides of the bed, since, according to the tradition of ancient teachings, pairing attracts good luck. In modern interiors, there are many bedrooms decorated according to the principle of symmetry.

It is not recommended to place large cabinets and racks in small rooms. It is not necessary to have a spacious room in order to equip a bedroom in Feng Shui: it is enough to reduce the number of items and furniture. Thus, more space will appear in the room, which means that its energy will improve.

In the Feng Shui bedroom, you should not put a large aquarium - the activation of the element of Water may manifest itself too strongly. The proximity to the aquarium negatively affects sleep and well-being: the noise of the filter, the constant movement of fish and bubbles do not contribute to relaxation and sound sleep. But in the end, the owner of the bedroom decides everything - for some people, a compact indoor aquarium has a calming effect.

The location of the bedroom to the cardinal points

When building a house or choosing an apartment, Feng Shui experts advise paying attention to the cardinal points, but the energy of the bedroom should be calculated individually for each individual person.

It is believed that the layout of the bedroom on north adjusts to deep reflections and sound sleep, but if the owner of the room lives alone, the feeling of loneliness in the northern room can be exacerbated. If the bedroom is on northeast, active chi energy can lead to sleep disturbance or insomnia.Northwestsuitable for stable and self-confident people, as well as spouses who have been married for many years. East promotes entrepreneurship, creativity and helps build a career.

Southeast the bedroom gives energy for creative people seeking to increase their knowledge. South suitable for passionate natures, as well as young lovers who want to strengthen their relationship. Energy on western side is good for those who are looking for pleasure in life, so it is better not to choose this sector for climbing the career ladder. The room located on southwest, unfavorable for many people: it deprives health and contributes to the appearance of anxiety.

Features of the layout

It is most correct to place the bedroom at the far end of the apartment - the room adjacent to the front door is subject to the influence of negative energy. If possible, it is worth arranging a place to relax away from the bathroom and the kitchen - then extraneous sounds will not bother you during sleep.

Ideal if the shape of the room is square or rectangular. If the room has an irregular shape, it is worth smoothing the corners with furniture or curtains.

Unused space (niches, long narrow passages) does not create positive energy. In addition, a walk-through room with two doors is not suitable for a Feng Shui bedroom - this arrangement contributes to frequent conflicts. But when apartment owners do not have the opportunity to freely choose a place to sleep, this issue is easily solved without redevelopment: you just need to drape the passage with a cloth.

In the photo there is a spacious bedroom in a country house, located on the second floor and decorated in Feng Shui. Panoramic windows are decorated with blackout curtains that smooth out the influence of negative energy at night.

In one-room apartments, it is advisable to separate the living area from the bedroom with a screen or light partitions, but Feng Shui does not welcome massive wardrobes in the middle of the room.

Ideally, if the ceiling is flat and does not have bulky structures - according to Feng Shui experts, beams in the attic and multi-level structures prevent energy from circulating freely, which leads to financial problems. If there is no way to solve this problem radically, you can protect the bed with a canopy. Soft matter will smooth out the negative effects of sharp corners.

How to decorate a bedroom: decor and lighting?

Feng Shui does not only affect the layout and color of the bedroom: it is believed that various accessories also affect the energy of the room.

One of the main elements of the decor, around which there is a lot of controversy, is the mirror. Many Feng Shui experts believe that this item is inappropriate in a relaxation room, as it increases the amount of light, which means that it reflects and activates energy. But for most people, a full-length mirror in the bedroom is a must. If you cannot refuse it, you should choose a round product without corners. It is believed that placing a mirror opposite the bed or on the ceiling is unacceptable: sleeping people should not be reflected in it, so as not to lose their vitality at night.

No place in the bedroom and TV, as well as a computer. It is best if, upon awakening, a person sees a beautiful picture hanging on the wall: flowers, landscapes without rivers and lakes (as we have already mentioned, the proximity to the water element in the bedroom can be dangerous). Images should only convey positive emotions, therefore, it is better to refuse paintings with natural disasters, an erupting volcano or lightning. Also, Feng Shui does not recommend using photographs of deceased relatives as decoration.

In the photo there is a bedroom with a side mirror that does not reflect the sleeping people. Its frame is decorated with rounded elements that soften the shape of the product. The bed is close to the window, but has a high headboard to make the person feel safe.

A feng shui bedroom is a place where it is forbidden to use decor related to the animal world: antlers, feathers and skins will look better in the living room. Clocks are also not welcome in the bedroom: despite the fact that this item is highly respected by Feng Shui masters, they do not recommend placing a voluminous mechanical clock in a sleeping room. The maximum is a compact alarm clock that can be hidden. But in a children's bedroom, a watch with a large dial is quite appropriate - with their help, children learn to be careful with time.

Houseplants also influence the Feng Shui interior. It is believed that the rest room should not be overloaded with flowers: two or three flowerpots or pots are enough. Experts believe that each plant carries its own energy. For example, dracaena and ficus symbolize prosperity, which means they bring a stable cash flow. Violet is responsible for love, so she is put in the bedroom to strengthen romantic relationships between spouses, as well as improve personal life. Feng Shui does not favor artificial flowers, herbarium and ikebana, as "dead" plants bring negativity into the house.

We should also talk about lighting separately. Natural light is considered the best option, but if there is little sun in the room, lamps can be used. It is worth buying simple chandeliers and sconces with rounded shades. It is necessary to take into account the color temperature: lamps with a value of up to 3500 Kelvin give a warm cozy light, but Feng Shui does not welcome bright LEDs in the house. In addition, the appearance of dust and insects inside the lamps should not be allowed: they carry bad energy.

The arrangement of the bedroom according to the precepts of the ancient Chinese teachings is in many ways similar to the principles of ergonomics and safety. Many recommendations take into account human psychology, which means they are not devoid of common sense. In addition, rearrangement and renovation of the interior, as well as keeping the house clean has a beneficial effect on a person, and whether or not to follow the rules of Feng Shui is a purely individual choice.
