In addition to creating a comfortable haven to enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep, feng shui techniques focus on the location of your bed. To incorporate these elements, you should have a headboard with a strategically placed mattress against a wall – not a window – to evoke feelings of stability and support. Other considerations include placing your bed in the “commanding position,” which means you can see the door, but not be directly in line with it, as well as creating equality and balance along the sides of the bed by placing items like nightstands and bed lamps in pairs. And, if you’re utilizing the space under your bed to store random items like tax returns or your mega shoe collection, think again. This area should remain clear and clean, as under-the-bed clutter is believed to weigh down a relationship.

Not only should you be selective in your wall color (no stark whites or shocking accent colors like midnight blue), the artwork and photos should inspire and stir positive emotions. Pictures that induce feelings of sadness or fear are referred to as “sha,” which evoke a negative reaction. Instead, opt for uplifting or romantic scenery. As for framed photos on your nightstand, you should include a photo of you and your significant other.

Chinese principles state that the primary purpose of the bedroom is for rest, relaxation and romance, making technology a “no no.” If the focal point in your room is a big-screen TV and your laptop is a permanent fixture on your nightstand, you’ll probably need to make a few adjustments. If watching your favorite Netflix series in bed is too much to give up, consider options to disguise the screen when not in use so that it doesn’t dominate the room. One idea is to get creative by placing two pieces of artwork on a slider track that conceals the TV when not in use.
Here’s to finding a new mindfulness in 2019 with these feng shui design elements that are sure to help you slow down, notice the details in your life and improve your overall well-being.
