Feng Shui Tips: Bedroom Colors

Home Improvement: Advice and Features: Feng Shui: ASK ANGI: "

Q. Can I paint my bedroom yellow? What other colors are OK?

A. A soft pale yellow, like buttercup, is a wonderful color for a bedroom as it represents motherhood, relationships, love and romance.

Sleeping is a yin activity, so colors should be yin also – that is, they should not be too strong. Bedspreads should also be subdued, with colors and motifs found in nature.

Avoid bright "school bus" yellow – and never have a lot of red in a bedroom. Bright yellow and red are yang colors – too stimulating for a place of rest. Also avoid sharp angles and geometric shapes with a lot of straight lines, because they emanate negative energy.

Your bedroom should be a place of refuge, serenity and peace – a place to recharge your physical, spiritual, emotional and sexual energy. Who knows? In improving the feng shui of your bedroom, you might also attract someone new into your life.

Is it just me or is Feng Shui just mostly common (and thus uncommon - I know my common sense skills aren't what they could be *smile*) sense? Another perfect example!

Feng Shui Tips: Bed Placement Is Very Important

Home Improvement: Advice and Features: Feng Shui: ASK ANGI: "

Q. The foot of my bed points directly to the doorway and is in the path of the door. Is this a problem?

A.

A bed that has its foot directly facing the entrance to the room is in the death position and very unlucky – and not only according to Chinese feng shui. Other cultures, such as the Italians, also carry a body out feet first when a death has occurred in a home. Try to not position any part of the bed directly in line with the door opening, or the corresponding part of the body will be affected.

The head of the bed should butt up against the wall across from the main entrance of the room. If the door is in the corner, for example, the bed should be diagonally across the room, in the farthest corner from the door. You can also have your bed at a 90-degree or 45-degree angle from the door. If the door is the middle of the wall, have the bed to either side of the door.
