Surely you have heard of Feng Shui and how this ancient Chinese practice focuses on harmonizing the environment to promote happiness and well-being. It may sound mystical, but applying Feng Shui in the bedroom will give you a space that encourages restful sleep and relaxation. To achieve this, obviously, it is necessary to apply the principles of Feng Shui in the design and decoration of the bedroom. In this post, we’ll explore how Feng Shui can help you create an ideal environment for rest and tranquility in your bedroom and what you can do to achieve it.
The foundations for Feng Shui in the bedroom
Choose the right place for the bed
Where you place the bed is crucial for Feng Shui in the bedroom. The bed should be in a place that allows light and fresh air to enter, but at the same time, it should not be directly under a window or in a straight line with the door. It is also important that the bed is away from noise sources, such as the street or television. By choosing the right place for the bed, you can foster a calm and serene environment that promotes sleep.
Use soft and soothing colors
Color is a key element in Feng Shui, and in the bedroom, soft and relaxing tones are recommended. Pastel colors, such as blue, green, and pink, are ideal for creating a calm and cozy atmosphere. Darker shades, such as red or black, are not recommended for a Feng Shui bedroom as they can create too intense and stimulating energy that makes it difficult to sleep. It’s important to choose colors that make you feel relaxed and at peace.
Eliminate clutter
Clutter in the bedroom can create a stressful and chaotic environment that makes it difficult to sleep. To maintain balance and harmony in the space, it is necessary to keep it tidy and clean. In addition, it is important to get rid of objects that you do not need or that do not make you happy. The idea is that the bedroom is a space dedicated to tranquility and rest, so any element that disturbs that energy must be eliminated.
Incorporates natural elements
Natural elements, such as plants, stones or water, are fundamental in Feng Shui as they help to balance the energy of the space. In the bedroom, indoor plants, scented candles or water bowls can be incorporated to create a more harmonious and balanced atmosphere. However, it is important to avoid anything that could disturb the peace of the bedroom, such as a noisy water fountain or a plant with thorns. The idea is to create a calm and relaxing space that encourages restful sleep.
Use the right lighting
Lighting is a key element in Feng Shui in the bedroom. The use of soft, warm light is recommended, rather than bright, cold light, as the latter can be too stimulating and make it difficult to sleep. It is also important to use different light sources, such as table lamps or candles, to create a more welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. In addition, it is important to take into account the position of the light in relation to the bed. Direct light can interfere with sleep, so it is advisable to avoid it and opt for indirect lighting.
Create a technology-free environment
At bedtime, the mobile phone outside the bedroom. Technology, such as mobile phones, tablets, and computers, can interfere with sleep quality. In addition, exposure to the blue light emitted by these devices can disrupt the circadian rhythm, which can make it difficult to fall asleep. To maintain balance and harmony in the bedroom, it is advisable to avoid using technology before sleeping and keep these devices out of the bedroom. If you find it essential to have your mobile phone in the room, using airplane mode or night mode helps reduce exposure to light and noise, but trust us, going back to the traditional departador will be better for your health. Small details such as an area to store these devices before entering the room, will remind you that the bedroom is not their space 🙂
Does Feng Shui work in the bedroom?
Feng Shui can be a useful tool to create a calm and relaxing environment in your room. By applying these simple principles that we have seen in the choice of colors, lighting, furniture and decorative elements, an environment that promotes restful sleep and relaxation can be fostered. We cannot forget that Feng Shui is not an exact science (nor is it for everyone), and that each person is unique in terms of preferences and needs. But we lose nothing by experimenting with different elements and adjusting them to our personal needs and preferences.
