How to Feng Shui Your Bedroom
The bedroom is a key space in the home and can have a big impact on your sleep and overall well-being. When I consult with my clients, we typically focus a lot of attention to this area. By incorporating the principles of feng shui into your bedroom design, you can create a peaceful and harmonious space that promotes relaxation and rest. Here are some tips for feng shui-ing your bedroom:
- Choose a calm and neutral color palette. Soft, neutral colors such as white, beige, and pale blue can create a sense of tranquility and relaxation in the bedroom. Avoid bright, bold colors that can be stimulating and overwhelming.
- Incorporate natural elements. Nature has a calming and grounding effect, so incorporating natural elements such as plants, stones, and wood can help create a sense of balance and harmony in your bedroom.
- Use soft lighting. Bright, harsh lighting can be jarring and stressful, so it’s best to use soft, indirect lighting in the bedroom. You can use candles, dimmer switches, or low-wattage bulbs to create a soothing ambiance. Use blackout curtains, as well.
- Keep the bedroom clutter-free. Clutter can create a sense of chaos and disrupt the flow of energy, so it’s important to keep the bedroom clean and organized. Make sure to regularly declutter the space and remove any unnecessary items to maintain a sense of calm and order.
- Choose comfortable and relaxing materials. The materials you use in your bedroom can have a big impact on the energy of the space. Soft, comfortable materials such as plush blankets and pillows can create a sense of relaxation and comfort. Avoid hard, cold materials such as marble or concrete that can feel uninviting.
- Position the bed in a commanding position. In feng shui, it’s important to position the bed in a “commanding position,” which means that it should be placed in a spot where you can see the door but not directly in line with it. This helps to create a sense of protection and security in the bedroom.
- Reduce electronics. EMF devices like televisions and cell phones should be removed from the bedroom, if at all possible. The only electronic devices I like to see are a white noise sound machine and soft lighting.
By following these tips and using the principles of feng shui in your bedroom design, you can create a peaceful and harmonious space that promotes relaxation and rest.

Feng Shui Design for Wedding Venues: Creating a Harmonious and Romantic Atmosphere
Weddings are a joyous occasion, but planning one can be quite stressful. A lot goes into making a wedding day perfect, including the choice of venue. While it may seem that many couples choose their wedding venue based on location and cost alone, they can truly fall in love with the positive energy and atmosphere of a space — making everything else seem less important. This is where feng shui design principles come in. Feng shui can help create the harmonious and romantic atmosphere in a venue that they can’t resist for their big day. I know this from firsthand experience!
Feng shui is an ancient Chinese practice that seeks to balance the energy, or “chi,” in a space. By applying feng shui principles to the design of a wedding venue, we can create an environment that promotes feelings of love and romance.
An important aspect of feng shui design for wedding venues is the use of natural elements. Appropriately incorporating plants, water features, and natural materials like wood and stone can help to create a soothing atmosphere and connect the couple with nature. These elements can also promote feelings of tranquility and harmony, which are crucial for a successful wedding ceremony.
Proper feng shui design for wedding venues should also include other features such as comfortable seating, romantic lighting, and art that promotes feelings of love and passion. The goal is to create an environment that promotes feelings of love and romance for the happy couple and their guests.
The application of feng shui principles in the design of wedding venues can create a harmonious and romantic atmosphere. With the appropriate integration of nature and other feng shui elements, the wedding venue can add to the special day for the bride and groom.

Is it Good Feng Shui to Have a Fireplace in the Bedroom?
Fireplaces can add warmth, aroma, and ambiance to your room, but is it good feng shui to have a fireplace specifically in your bedroom? My short answer is generally no. In fact, when I work with home builders, I always suggest they remove plans to automatically include a fireplace in any bedroom.
Here are a few reasons why it is bad feng shui to have a fireplace in your bedroom:
- Fireplaces provide exciting energy. In feng shui, fire is associated with passion, excitement, and transformation. These can certainly be positive qualities in some areas of your home, but not here. Your bedroom is a space to get some rest and relaxation.
- Fireplaces can be a safety hazard. A fireplace increases the risk of fire in your home. Even if you don’t actively use your bedroom fireplace, it can create an unconscious sense of stress, which certainly doesn’t help you relax. Certainly never fall asleep with a fireplace on.
- Fireplaces can disrupt sleep. Heat and light emitted by your bedroom fireplace can interfere with your precious sleep. Your bedroom should be cool, dark, and quiet to help promote sleep. Fireplaces, however, can disrupt this balance.
So, what are some cures? Removing the fireplace altogether just isn’t usually practical. When I consult with my individual clients who already have a fireplace in their bedroom, we work together to try to mitigate its negative effects. A couple of suggestions include using a fireplace screen and keeping it turned off when not in use. I also suggest balancing the energy of the space by using other feng shui techniques, such as incorporating natural elements, a carefully-placed painting of calm water, or the use of soothing colors.

How to Feng Shui Your Bathroom
The bathroom is often overlooked when it comes to feng shui, but it’s an important space in the home that can greatly impact your energy and well-being.
Historically, homes didn’t have indoor bathrooms because there was no indoor plumbing. Try as I might with my home builder clients, there’s no avoiding indoor bathrooms now. If we don’t feng shui them appropriately, positive energy called chi could be drained, causing problems with your health, finances, career, etc.
Here are some tips to feng shui your bathroom:
- Choose the right colors. Select a color scheme appropriate to the section of the Bagua where your bathroom is located. There’s no need to paint the whole bathroom – simply accenting the area with décor should be fine.
- Use natural elements & shapes. Incorporate elements and shapes appropriate to the Gua where your bathroom is located.
- Use soft lighting. Bright lighting can be stressful, so it’s best to use soft, indirect lighting in the bathroom whenever possible to create a soothing space. You can use dimmable lighting and vanity mirrors with focused lighting when necessary.
- Keep the bathroom clean and clutter-free. Clutter can create a sense of chaos. It disrupts the flow of energy, so it’s important to keep the bathroom clean and organized.
- Choose comfortable and relaxing materials. The materials you use in your bathroom can have a big impact on the energy of the space. Plush towels and rugs can create a sense of relaxation and comfort. Avoid hard, cold materials such as marble or concrete that can feel uninviting.
- Add the element of fun. Be creative and have fun when decorating your bathroom space. All of the energy coming into your bathroom is designed to go down the drain. Counteract that by creating an uplifting environment.
- Redden the drains. Wrap red duct tape or string around drains in the bathroom or even paint them red if they’re hidden by a cabinet. Doing so slows down chi energy that is escaping your home through the drains.
- Use bagua mirrors. Further slow escaping chi by reflecting it back up your drains with a flat bagua mirror placed underneath each drain.
Follow these tips and use the principles of feng shui in your bathroom design to improve your energy flow and stop the loss of uplifting energy in your home.
