General Feng Shui Bedroom Tips

In Feng Shui the Master Bedroom is considered to be the most important room in a home, so please take your time in making any changes, think about them carefully and make sure you will be comfortable with the choices you make.

General Tips for Everyone

The energy should lean more towards Yin than Yang as too much Yang energy in your bedroom will cause restlessness and may cause sleeplessness.
AVOID Bright colors, too much red is a big no as it is pure Yang energy, colors that are good would be pale greens, blues and neutral colors like beige and cream.
Remove all electronic equipment if possible, especially televisions and stereos.
Make sure the headboard of your bed is placed firmly against the wall and that your bed is not under a window, ceiling beam or fan if you can avoid it.
Your bed should NEVER be on the same wall as the door. Having your back to the door is bad Feng Shui and if you think about it, it isn't a safe place for a bed. You should also try to avoid having your feet face the door while laying in bed.
Try not to use mirrors of any kind in the bedroom (even hand mirrors), but if you must have one place the mirror where you cannot see your reflection from your bed.
DO NOT use any pictures, paintings, statues or symbols of fierce animals/people. Make sure your Feng Shui bedroom is a peaceful and relaxing place to stay.
Be sure to keep your bedroom clean at all times, a dirty bedroom will cause you stress and make the room an unpleasant place to be.
Do not keep water fountains, fish tanks or even symbols of water in the bedroom.
The underside of your bed should not be used to store anything, and your bed should not contain drawers like you find under many waterbeds. Keep the underside of your bed clean at all times, sweep or vacuum under the bed every time you clean.
Keep your bedroom free of clutter, Chi must be allowed to "flow" through your home. It should not be allowed to flow too fast, nor should it be blocked by clutter.

Hang round faceted crystal in a window.
