Essential Feng Shui Tips- Ceiling Fans
Feng Shui Definitions
Ceiling fans are a necessity in some climates. They dissipate heat and create a refreshing breeze in an otherwise stifling environment. Yet they can appear dangerous if not located correctly in a room.
- Ceiling fans that are situated directly over beds, desks, or dining tables can disturb relaxation and concentration, so be sure to install them away from furniture you use often.
- In general, the higher the fans are, the better. When low, they can feel dangerous to anyone passing underneath. The same ominous feeling occurs when fans dominate rooms in either size or color. Fans work best when they blend into the background and are of simple design.
Feng Shui and Teen Boys Bedroom
by Kim C., Essential Feng Shui Enthusiast
I was visiting my girlfriend and family in Houston (years ago) after I moved to Atlanta. When I was looking at their new house I stumbled into her 14 year old son’s room. I flew out of there and asked the mom what was up with this disaster. She said “I know. He won’t clean it up. I’ve tried.”
When her son came home, I knocked on his door. I stated the obvious, what a mess the room was. He wasn’t interested. I asked if I could talk to him for a few minutes, and he boringly agreed. I cleared a corner on his bed to sit and asked how things were going for him: School – ok. Was he sleeping well – no, not really. What else was going on – Brett and his step-dad had been fighting a lot, his girlfriend was mad at him again. I asked if he would like these areas of his life to “fixed”. That got his attention as he gave a sincere “yes”. I told him I would help him. I told him how I had been reading about Feng Shui and how energy could improve his life with a few changes and a cleaner room.

Essential Feng Shui Tips: Single Men’s Bedrooms
Feng Shui Definitions
These suggestions are for men who want to attract romance into their lives:
- Is your bedroom a multipurpose room where you work out, watch TV, surf the Net, write proposals, and (supposedly) rest? Although this arrangement may be practical, it is not the slightest bit romantic. To attract a partner, make room for romance. Put your active equipment, TV, and computer in other rooms. If any of these items need to stay in your bedroom, screen or cover them when they’re not in use. Let your bed command your bedroom, and keep your bed linens clean and welcoming.
- Check your art. Introduce artistic elements that suggest sensuality and serenity, and move “single guy” art such as cars, centerfolds, or basketball stars to another location.

Essential Feng Shui Tips: Single Women’s Bedrooms
Feng Shui Definitions
These suggestions are for single women who want romance in their lives:
- Stuffed animals and dolls on the bed “whisper” to a new lover that the bed is already taken. Make room for romance by giving them a home somewhere else.
- Romantic spontaneity is hampered by a wall of pillows on the bed. Cull the pillow herd, especially “fussy” pillows that need special care. Design a sensuous, unencumbered bed that you can fall into without a “single” care.
- Change art portraying companionless figures, solitary flowers, and other “onesome” subjects to “twosome” art: two people, animals, flowers, or two of anything that inspires you.
- Place pairs of items, such as candlesticks, vases, and books in the Love and Marriage area of your home and your bedroom (see Bagua Map).
- Act as if you already have a partner! Put inviting nightstands and lamps on both sides of your bed.
- Set the stage for receiving your new love by giving yourself the same loving care that you would a lover. Your loving relationship with yourself will strengthen your Ch’i and make you more attractive as a partner. Create a romantic atmosphere for yourself. Enjoy your own company, and find out what it’s like to really love you.
Essential Feng Shui Tips: Children’s Bedrooms
Feng Shui Definitions
- Unlike the master bedroom, it’s a good idea to have family photos in children’s bedrooms. Photographs of parents and grandparents make children feel secure and “watched over” at night.
- Many “hyperactive” children are sleeping in bedrooms with bright red sheets and walls full of action figures. Calm their bedrooms down! Replace bright reds, blues, and yellows with warm pastels and deep rich tones that wrap children in a cozy, tranquil embrace. Bring in serene or happy art that isn’t flying, falling, driving or running around the room.
- Children are often very sensitive to mirrors. If they are not sleeping well, be sure to curtain, cover, or remove mirrors from their bedroom.
- Pets living in children’s bedrooms, such as hamsters, turtles, and fish, should be well taken care of. A neglected pet actually drains the vital Ch’i in a youngster’s bedroom.
- When children share a bedroom, give each child a distinct place to call his or her own, such as a table, closet, or shelf. This keeps each child’s Ch’i individually defined, and helps them learn to respect one another’s space.
