How you sleep has a major influence on your life and your well-being. We spend many hours in our bedroom; sleeping, making love or just retreating into a kind of privacy that no other room can offer.

When you are asleep, your conscious mind has the night off, but your subconscious is busy at work; recreating and reordering the day’s feelings, memories and experiences for the benefit of your psyche.

You want to arrange and decorate bedroom with utmost care to make sure you  create the right sleep environment for deep relaxation, paying attention to Feng Shui principles as closely as possible:

12 tips for your bedroom

1. Never use your bedroom as a storage area for boxes, spare furniture, or piles of books. It will block the smooth flow of chi.  Storing junk under your bed will cause stagnantion.
2. Ideally your bed should be placed diagonally opposite the room entrance.
3. Place your bed against a solid wall, not a window.
4. Never place your bed under a low slanting ceiling or under exposed beams. It can cause headaches, illness, confused thinking and bad dreams.
5. Mirrors in the bedroom should not face your bed.
6. Never place bed in a draft between the door and the window, it may cause insomnia.
7. Make the space above your bed as empty as possible. Avoid heavy lamps  above the bed.
8. High, heavy and chaotic stuff, shelves full of books around the head can lead to bad dreams and nightmares.
9. Avoid a bed with metal parts as metal bed attracts energy fields. A solid wooden bed is the best choice.
10. For the balance in your relationship it is important that the bed  equally accessible on both sides.
11. The images and objects in your bedroom should be chosen carefully. Consider what they mean and from whom you got them? In this intimate space there should be only images both you and your partner have good feelings about.
12. Choose warm and harmonising shades. Active, bright and dynamic colours like red, orange, intense yellow and busy patterns stand in the way of relaxed sleep.
