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

Feng Shui Rules

From the point of view of ancient science, Shen Qi energy flows constantly circulating in space. Nothing should interfere with these movements, since negative energy Sha accumulates in places of stagnation, which affects well-being, family relationships and financial well-being. The task of Feng Shui is to channel positive energy in the right direction with the help of competent organization of the surrounding space.

Consider a few key points that will help you better understand ancient Chinese philosophy:

• Feng Shui - this is not a set of recommendations on how to properly put furniture in the "zone of wealth", "love" and "health". The basis of science is the search for beauty and harmony.
• First of all, the bedroom in Feng Shui should be clean. Lamps and shelves without dust, windows and mirrors without stains, washed floors - the key to calm and harmony.
• Amulets and talismans have nothing to do with the classical teachings of Feng Shui, so littering the living room with crystals, coins and figurines is not recommended.
• Ready-made Feng Shui schemes may not work if 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 inclined to change for the better.

Color selection

The color scheme in the bedroom in Feng Shui is selected taking into account the taste and well-being of its owner. A person who does not have problems with sleep, it is better to give preference to warm light tones: beige, creamy, pink. The main design of the bedroom - the color of wallpaper or paint - should remain neutral. In minimal quantities, bright accents of Yang energy are also acceptable: yellow, orange and saturated green. It can be pillows, carpet and bed linen.

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

The color of a bedroom decorated in Feng Shui affects people differently. Those who sleep restlessly, often wake up and see emotional dreams, it is recommended to withstand the interior in the cold tones of Yin energy: gray-purple, lilac, dark green. We also allow blue and even black - it is believed that it absorbs failures and protects the house, but the dark interior does not fit anxious and melancholy people.

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

Furniture arrangement

The central place in any bedroom is occupied by a bed:

• It is best if it is made of natural material.
• According to Feng Shui, the space under it should be left open so that positive energy circulates freely.
• If the room is shared by two people, access to the bedroom should not be difficult for both.
• To feel safe, it is recommended that you place the head of the bed close to the wall. Massive chandeliers, cabinets and shelves should not be placed above it.
• If the sleeper is directed his head to the window, the negative impact of open space should be reduced and blackout curtains should be hung.

It is desirable that the furniture (bed, chest of drawers, dressing table) should have as few acute angles as possible.Feng Shui adherents place bedside tables on both sides of the bed, because according to the tradition of ancient teachings, paired things attract good luck. In modern interiors there are many bedrooms decorated according to the principle of symmetry.

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

In the bedroom in Feng Shui, you should not put a large aquarium - the activation of the elements of Water can manifest itself too much. 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 good sleep. But in the end, the owner of the bedroom decides everything - for some people, the compact indoor aquarium has a calming effect.

Location of the bedroom to the cardinal points

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

It is believed that the location of the bedroom on north attunes to deep thoughts and a sound sleep, but if the owner of the room lives alone, the feeling of loneliness in the northern room can be aggravated. If the bedroom is on northeastThe active energy of qi can lead to sleep disturbances or insomnia.NorthwestSuitable for stable and confident people, as well as spouses who have been married for many years. East It strengthens enterprise, creativity and helps build a career.

South east the bedroom provides energy for creative people who seek 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 seek pleasure in life, therefore, it is better not to choose this sector to climb the career ladder. Room located on southwest unfavorable for many people: it deprives of health and contributes to the appearance of anxiety.

Layout Features

The bedroom is best located at the far end of the apartment - the room adjacent to the front door is exposed to negative energy. If possible, it is worth arranging a place to rest away from the bathroom and the kitchen - then extraneous sounds will not disturb during sleep.

Ideally, 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) do not create positive energy. In addition, a two-door walk-through room is not suitable for a Feng Shui bedroom - this arrangement contributes to frequent conflicts. But when the owners of the apartment 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 according to Feng Shui. Panoramic windows are decorated with blackout curtains, which smooth out the influence of negative energy at night.

In one-room apartments, it is advisable to separate the living area from the bedroom using a screen or lightweight partitions, but massive cabinets in the middle of the room do not welcome feng shui.

Ideally, if the ceiling is even 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 design a bedroom: decor and lighting?

Feng Shui affects not only the layout and color scheme 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 the lounge, as it increases the amount of light, which means it reflects and activates energy. But for most people, a full-length mirror in a bedroom is a necessary element. If you can’t refuse it, you should choose a round product without corners. It is believed that it is unacceptable to place a mirror in front of the bed or on the ceiling: sleeping people should not be reflected in it so as not to lose their vitality at night.

There is no place in the bedroom and the TV, as well as the computer. Best of all, if upon waking up a person will see 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 carry only positive emotions, therefore it is better to refuse pictures 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 dimensional mirror that does not reflect sleeping. 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 so that the person feels safe.

Feng Shui bedroom is a place where it is forbidden to use decor associated with the animal world: deer horns, feathers and skins will look better in the living room. Watches 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 the sleeping room. The maximum is a compact alarm clock that can be hidden. But in a children's bedroom, a clock with a large dial is quite appropriate - with their help, children learn to use time with care.

Home plants also affect the interior of Feng Shui. It is believed that the lounge should not be overloaded with flowers: two or three flowerpots or a flowerpot are enough. Experts believe that each plant carries its own energy. For example, dracaena and ficus symbolize wealth, which means they bring a stable cash flow. Violet is responsible for love, so it is put in the bedroom to strengthen the romantic relationship between the spouses, as well as to establish personal life. Feng Shui does not favor artificial flowers, herbarium and ikebana, as the "dead" plants bring negativity to the house.

We should also talk about lighting. The best option is natural light, but if there is little sun in the room, you can use lamps. 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, dust and insects should not be allowed to appear inside the fixtures: they carry bad energy.

In the photo there is a bedroom for a young woman. Two twin lamps with warm light stand on either side of the bed. The soft headboard is located close to the wall and gives a sense of security.

The arrangement of the bedroom according to the precepts of ancient Chinese teachings is in many ways similar to the principles of ergonomics and safety.Many recommendations take into account human psychology, which means that they are not without common sense. In addition, the rearrangement and updating of the interior, as well as maintaining 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.
