(NC)-What's the most important room in the house? On average you spend a third of your life sleeping, so it would follow that your bedroom would be a very important place advises Karen Carter, author of Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life: How to Use Feng Shui to Get Love, Money Respect and Happiness.
Tips from Carter on proper Feng Shui for your bedroom include:
• Buy a wooden bed if you have the choice. Metal beds can conduct electricity, which can be a health hazard
• Check the lighting level to see if it is not too harsh (yang) or too dim (yin). Listen for distracting sounds and try to alleviate or remove them.
• Avoid large living plants in the bedroom.
• Avoid sharp metal within the bedroom.
• Create a headboard for the bed and place it against the most solid wall in the room. If your bed is in line with a doorway, hang a crystal between the bed and that area.
Without the privacy and proper light control provided by proper window coverings, even a bedroom with great Feng Shui isn't a pleasant retreat. Window treatments can baffle the most experienced of decorators. Especially for bedrooms, you need to start with the basics: privacy, light and noise control and function.
