Feng Shui Definitions: Children’s Bedroom
- 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 the colors of 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.
Inner Feng Shui: Master Bedroom
Are the lines of communication open in your relationship? If not, it’s time to clear the Ch’i by telling your partner what you are feeling and what would make you happy. Ask what your partner is feeling and what would make him or her happy. Having a heart-to-heart talk is often the quickest way to reawaken the romantic feelings that brought you together. Whatever the outcome, knowing the truth will set you free to grow and pursue the happiness you deserve.

Because our Western culture puts little importance on rest, our bedrooms are frequently not conducive to a good night’s sleep. Ideally, our bedrooms are a perfect combination of cozy nest, rejuvenating oasis, and romantic hideaway. They are a sensual embrace where we go to completely recharge our batteries.
- Locate bedrooms toward the back of the house, where the Ch’i is naturally more serene.
Feng Shui Definitions: Single Men’s Bedrooms
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.
Feng Shui Definitions: Single Women’s Bedrooms
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.
- 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.
