18 Feng Shui Bedroom Tips - Our Dos & Dont's

What is Feng Shui?

Dating back as far as 5000 BC, Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese philosophy that helps people find more balance and positivity in the way they live their lives.  

The word ‘feng’ is Chinese for wind, and the word ‘shui’ is Chinese for water. Together, these symbolise the flow of life. By organising furniture, as well as colour, fabrics, and ornaments in certain ways, experts believe we can create a more harmonious atmosphere in our homes.

The key is in the qi (pronounced “chi”), which practitioners say is a universal life force or energy that connects all living things. Through the implementation of specific design principles that promote auspiciousness, feng shui is said to allow your energy to flow uninhibited through your home, improving your overall quality of life.

 

How does Feng Shui affect sleep?

Experts believe that when a bedroom has good feng shui, the nervous system can relax and we enter a place of safety, which helps promote a better night’s rest. Your sleep hygiene and sleeping environment play a significant role in the quality of Zzz’s you get at night.

We’ve put together this handy guide on how to 'feng shui' your bedroom to improve sleep.

 

18 Feng Shui Tips for Your Bedroom to Support Better Sleep and Relaxation

Learn how to Feng Shui your bedroom with these simple suggestions:

 

  •  - Let the air and energy flow - a healthy sleep environment needs air movement 

  •  - Choose earthy and natural tones in your decoration and bedding - providing support and relaxation

  •  - Get ahead with a headboard - it represents added stability and support in your life, especially in relationships. Simba’s Bed Range offers six impressive headboard styles including luxurious, tufted quilting, contemporary minimalism and cocooning winged styles that are upholstered in a choice of six colours and six fabrics, in calming deep tones and warm neutrals.

  •  - Pair your ornaments and bedside tables - single figures can reinforce a sense of isolation

  •  - Minimise the amount of sharp corners in your sleep space 

  •  - Declutter underneath your bed - this can represent subconscious blocks in your life. Under bed storage such as an Ottoman or storage drawers in a divan will take everything off the floor, keeping it well organised and easily accessible.


  •  - Plants and essential oils - these invite restorative energy and growth in all areas of your life

  •  - Eject as many electrical devices as you can - a bedroom should be a place of rest, relaxation and romance - and nothing else

  •  - Simple symmetrical decor touches without over-sterilising - matching lamps or candles for example

  •  - A Divan bed is made to the same measurements as mattresses and makes a compact and minimalist choice.

Feng Shui Bed Placement

The placement of your bed is vital to creating a bedroom with 'good' energy - being the largest piece of furniture in the room it will have a big impact on how the space functions, looks and feels. 

Give your bed the commanding role - move your bed to a central position where you can see the door while lying in bed. Practitioners believe this helps you see opportunities coming to you (so it’s worth spending the time thinking about your feng shui placement!).

 

What to avoid - the dont's of bedroom feng shui

  •  - Abstract, spiky or intense ornaments or art - your brain can subconsciously hook onto these

  •  - Don’t drain energy with dark wall choices. Too many deep colours can make a bedroom lifeless and make you sluggish when you wake 

 

  •  - Brilliant white walls - this can be too activating and mentally stimulating and not conducive to rest

  •  - Gym equipment and workout gear are classed as 'yang' - meaning it is a source of active energy

  •  - Hanging a mirror facing a bedroom window. Practitioners believe that the mirror's reflective quality can draw negative energy from outside and trap it within your house

  •  - Having your bed directly in line with the door

 

  •  - Sleeping under a window can enhance feelings of vulnerability

  •  - Mirrors directly across from the bed act as energy bouncers

 

Getting a great night’s sleep starts with the bedroom. It might sound strange, but your bedroom should be far more than just a room with a bed - it’s an oasis of calm where you feel happy, relaxed, and - hopefully - ready to settle down for the night.

 

Your bed is one of the most important pieces of furniture in your home with respect to your feng shui.  When you’re sleeping, you’re classified as being in a passive yin state - and therefore more receptive to the vibrations around you. The bed is also the most private place in your home. It absorbs your qi and represents you.

 

We think we can help with that. Simba’s premium Bed Range allows you to create your ideal bed and choose all the specific features you need. Six headboard styles; Camden, Hudson, Ludlow, Wilmslow, Didsbury and Melrose, come in four base options, in a choice of six shades and soft-touch tactile finishes, with flexible under bed storage options, in single, double, king and super king. With 500 possible combinations, you can truly get the right look, colour, finish, storage and size for your space, and still have a bed that is unique to you.

 

Alternatively, we offer an Ottoman in the Simba Designed bed range. Prefer a natural finish? We also have wooden bed frames, Ashdown and Sherwood, in solid ash (double, king and super king) that lend beautiful simplicity to a space.

 

Finally, choose a new or refurbished Simba mattress for your bed frame and you’ll have the dreamiest, zen-inducing bed arrangement. From our unique titanium micro springs to our cooling, open cell foam, our ground-breaking mattress technology is engineered to keep you perfectly cool and cushioned, all night long, while our bed frames offer style, simplicity and storage.
