The bed and Feng Shui

The bed is probably one of the most relevant piece of furniture we have at home, as well as for Feng Shui practice.

Where the bed is placed and how energy flows around it, could really have a big impact in how we sleep and consequently, in our well being.

So when deciding where to place the bed, consider some important aspects first:

▪️Make sure the headboard isn’t directly beneath a window;
▪️Don’t sleep with your head or feet pointing directly at the door;
▪️Avoid sleeping beneath exposed beams;
▪️Move the bed as far away as possible from protruding corners;
▪️Avoid placing the bed between two doors, if so try to block sight of one of them.

Open kitchen concepts

Open kitchen concepts are a big trend nowadays, our way of living is changing into a more open and communicative behaviour and that too is reflected in our homes.

In terms of Feng Shui, ancient scholars believed that this space should be apart from the rest of the house, mainly because of Fire element that brings a powerful energy throughout any environment, which could be harmful in certain circumstances.

So when choosing this type of solution for a kitchen, this doesn’t mean it has a bad Feng Shui, as long as some important guidelines are accomplished, even open concept kitchens could bring a much better energy flow to any home.

If you are thinking in opening your kitchen, ask for Feng Shui professional advice so that this space becomes a better version more suitable for you and your family.

How can Feng Shui practice help when renovating a bedroom?

Renovations could be quite an amazing shift of energy in any space, although it can also be a big challenge.

Moving furniture around and changing the decor, could be insufficient in terms of improving your bedroom Feng Shui, specially when structures are also another issue that can really have a negative impact on its inhabitants.

Here are just a few general recommendations to look at before any bedroom renovations:

  • If you have a bathroom behind your headboard, make sure you don’t sleep with a wall of pipes with water behind;
  • When you have more than one floor, avoid sleeping in the room right above the kitchen stove, where fire energy is stronger;
  • Placing the bed between windows or doors could accelerate energy, which is not a good option when it comes to rest and sleep;
  • Make sure you don’t sleep beneath an exposed beam;
  • Every protruding corner could have a harmful effect if it’s too close to the bed;
  • Finally, when choosing the best place to position your bed, avoid having your feet pointing directly to the door as well as having your headboard with a window behind.
