Feng Shui Bedroom Ideas For Your Home

Your bedroom is much more than a place to sleep, it’s the most important place in your home! This is why incorporating feel-good practices, such as the principles of Feng Shui, are an essential means of creating a harmonious place, filled with positive energy, helping you to sleep with ease. 

So, what is Feng Shui and how can you incorporate it? Let’s get into it! 

What is Feng Shui?

Feng Shui is a famous ancient Chinese practice, which revolves around the flow of energy, also known as Ch’i, throughout the spaces in your home. As a result, the placement of furniture, colours and objects are all key considerations for how energy moves throughout the various rooms in your home, and how they interact with your wellbeing. 

The ultimate goal of the practice is to create an environment that is both balanced and harmonious, in addition to promoting ultimate relaxation, positive energy and helping you to achieve emotional stability. In practice, this means arranging the space to align with the ‘rules’ of Feng Shui. 

Rules of the Practice

Feng Shui is all about balance and harmony, and the rules decree that the location of furniture, colour choices and minimal disruption to the flow of the space are key for positive energy placement. We’ve taken a deep dive into some of the most important things to consider.  

Bedroom Layout


This is the most important place to begin with a foundation for good Feng Shui. Naturally, your bed - as the focal point of the room - is the most vital starting point. 

Firstly, you’ll need to place your bed in the ‘command’ position. This means directing the foot of your bed to face the door, while avoiding keeping the bed directly in line with the door. As a result of this, you should feel safer and more in control while in your bed. 

Next, you’ll want to purchase a supportive headboard, as this will help to offer a sense of stability and comfort while you’re resting. Make sure to avoid any metal or iron headboards, as these are not grounding, meaning they conduct more negative energy. Instead consider an upholstered fabric headboard, which is a soft yet solid touch, or a more natural material like wood.

Finally, make sure to leave some space around your bed, combining accessibility with symmetry to make your bedroom as harmonious as possible.

Mirrors 

Mirrors are a popular choice in the bedroom, but for good Feng Shui, it’s essential to consider their placement. This is because a reflective surface in your bedroom can enhance or disrupt energy, meaning you should:

  • Position your mirror sensibly to reflect natural light into other areas of the room, instead of having the mirror face the bed

  • Cover your mirror at night if you can’t move it, as this will help to minimise the impact of the mirror on energy flow

  • Consider placing your mirror elsewhere if possible, or consider wall art to reduce empty space instead

The above tips will help you maintain the energy in your bedroom in a way that aligns with the rules of Feng Shui.

Remove Technology 

The concept of Feng Shui was created long before the creation of modern technology like phones, TVs and computers. With modern electronics emitting electromagnet waves, this means they interfere with ‘natural’ energy - meaning you should avoid having them in your bedroom altogether. 

Feng Shui doesn’t mean eradicating these devices from your home altogether - but you might want to consider limiting screen time to outside the bedroom, which also extends to storing and charging all devices in another room overnight. 

Colours in the Bedroom

There are several colours associated with positive Feng Shui, with more neutral and natural colours - shades such as cream, brown and lighter tones of pink - are the best colours for bedding and can help to create a calm atmosphere. Whether you incorporate this through your bedding or select subtle accents across soft furnishings like rugs, these colours are a great way to nail a Feng Shui look. 

You might also consider the addition of muted and cool colours, such as light blues, greens and greys, which similarly aid to create a sense of serenity. This is particularly easy to achieve through the use of smaller accessories, such as throws or cushions. 

While no colours are ‘off limits’, you should try to avoid bolder colours, such as reds, oranges and yellows. While these colours are bright and cheerful, they can overwhelm and disrupt the balance of the room.

Decluttering 

Clutter acts as a natural block to energy, with a tidy and organised space essential to promote a sense of calm. While your bedroom doesn’t need to be spotless, you might want to consider conquering the clutter under your bed, keeping any external surfaces neat and decluttering by donating and discarding unused items. 

This will allow you to make space for new items, energy and memories to improve the environment. 

Benefits of a Feng Shui bedroom

To conclude, there are several benefits you can achieve by incorporating the practice of Feng Shui into your life, especially in your bedroom. From improving the energy flow through to improving sleep and maintaining a neater space, you can also replicate the practice throughout your home. For example, you might want to consider Feng Shui in your living room.
