Collections used to be considered as an important part of a home, ultimately reflected how prosperous a family was, from paintings to sculptures, rugs and pottery, books, stamps, tea cups, cutlery, home textiles and so much more.

Most of us live in such a different way nowadays, but how do we care about our collections is a great indicator whether they are just clutter or not, so if your collections are closed and forgotten in some storage then maybe this stagnant energy isn’t bringing anything good to your home.

By other hand, if they are properly exposed in some part of a room where you and others can admire them, this turns out to be a great energy enhancer and will surely make you feel great about it.

▫️With the head or feet pointing directly at the door;

▫️If you have the bed against a wall, either on the sides or headboard, make sure it is not leaning against a bathroom, especially if there are pipes running on that wall;

▫️Sleeping under exposed beams is not good feng shui, if it is parallel to the bed it will be better.

Try following these recommendations and you will see your bedroom energy and even your sleep improve.

One great aspect of Feng Shui studies is how light and energy(Chi) enters in each space, especially natural light that comes from outside.

When a careful mapping of the space and its directions is made, and depending on which side of the globe is located, we are able to know exactly the quality and quantity of light that we have in certain rooms.

For example, if a living room is facing South direction in Portugal, surely it will have light and warmth all day, from sunrise until the sun goes down.

On the other hand, if this same space is facing North, then it will probably be dark and cold with lack of light.

At East direction, we can benefit from the sunrise light so generally, good for bedrooms.

At West direction we can watch the sunset, so living room spaces are also great here.

These are all fundamental aspects of any space and sometimes discarded, though today, we even have computer programs that can tell us exactly this information.

For most of Feng Shui experts, when planning a couple’s bedroom, the bed should have one mattress only, two separate mattresses it is said to symbolize a division between the couple, which could bring more disagreements and distance.

If for some reason it is not possible to have one piece only, then it’s better to have two separate beds than one bed with separate mattresses, respecting the individuality of each one without having this split between them.

Also, having the mattress on the floor, with no space beneath, might influence the mood, dissatisfaction feelings or even health issues.

Once this piece could accumulate more dirt than we imagine, a proper hygiene and even change of mattresses should be carried out occasionally , depending on the case, for example, the degree of dirtiness, comfort and use.

There are several important things about a bed:

• the size
• the material
• the bed linen
• the location
• the orientation
  And the list might go on…

One thing is for sure, when you sleep well at night, you will feel good during the day without feeling tired, grumpy or angry. Not to mention other health problems that can occur.

Nevertheless, after checking all these items above, if you have a cluttered bedroom, it will be useless because some of these things are probably blocking the energy flow and so all the environment and consequently your sleep, might be affected.

Here’s s a small list of things to avoid inside the bedroom according to Feng Shui:

▫️ medicines and bottles
▫️piles of clothes
▫️ full waste baskets
▫️ lots of books that nobody reads
▫️electronic devices
▫️paper works
▫️tons of cosmetics
▫️mirrors reflecting the bed
