How to decorate a bedroom in feng shui for a better sleep

Feng Shui is not a science, but rather a useful guide to finding and creating a positive and harmonious way of being in everyday life. According to this doctrine, the way we arrange our homes affects the quality of our sleep.

The SSPDaily asks: "What are the main feng shui techniques to remember to improve sleep quality?" With this question, the journalists turned to leading experts in the field to get their advice, ranging from wall color to decorative elements to avoid.

Here's a quick overview of what you can do to ensure a good night's sleep with the help of feng shui wisdom

Choose furniture that matches the size of the room

According to feng shui experts, people who have trouble sleeping often suffer from imbalances caused by their choice of furniture. Therefore, it is important that items such as bedside tables and lamps are the right size to promote balance and harmony.

Objects that are out of scale cause a state of instability that affects our lives, health, and relationships.

Remove all unnecessary things from the bedroom

Heat and snoring are often the cause of poor sleep and can be reduced by increasing the flow of fresh air and oxygen into the room. But on summer nights, an open window may not be enough, and a fan will only distill warm air. Therefore, open doors and windows in other parts of the house to allow air circulation.

In addition, according to Feng Shui, it is recommended to remove all obstacles from the bedroom that interfere with the positive flow of energy.

Where to put the bed

Feng Shui recommends placing the bed opposite the door, but not in the center, but at an angle to it, thus creating a diagonal space between the door and the bed. If you have a sturdy headboard leaning against the wall, this arrangement will give you a sense of security and eliminate the feeling of vulnerability.

The main thing is not to make a mistake: never place your bed opposite the door, as this will make you feel even more tired than rested when you wake up.

Put your bedroom in order

Feng Shui is about creating the movement of chi energy. According to the basic principles of the doctrine, dust is a reflection of stagnant energy, so it is useful to observe where it settles. In general, cluttered rooms have a negative impact on our health and well-being and are a magnet for dust accumulation.

Therefore, go through your wardrobe, clean your rooms, throw away everything you don't need, and you will soon see that your sleep quality has improved significantly.

Choose calm colors and remove shadows

Choose calm colors for your bedroom walls - light gray, pastel, soft shades of blue and green, which create a calming effect and promote relaxation. Bright and exciting colors should be avoided in the bedroom.

Feng Shui also recommends installing soft lighting in the room and eliminating dark shadows with additional lamps or other lighting solutions. According to the principles of the doctrine, they slow down the flow of energy.

Use decor to ensure harmony

Experts say that certain works of art and furniture in a room can cause negative thoughts and nightmares. Therefore, you need to choose decorative items associated with peace and tranquility.

A specific recommendation in this regard is to avoid paintings depicting water and overly decorated objects, as both are a source of deep imbalance.

Pay attention to the bedroom ceiling

Another feng shui tip is not to sleep under beams or heavy ceilings. Such bedrooms create a feeling of increased pressure and do not allow you to fully relax.

Remove mirrors from the bedroom

Feng Shui experts advise against mirrors in bedrooms. If it is impossible to get rid of them completely, it is better to choose a wardrobe with a mirror built into the door. Ancient teachings state that the reflection of yourself or your bed in a mirror will cause anxiety and disturb your sleep.
