Feng Shui for Bedrooms: Creating a Serene and Harmonious Space

At its heart, Feng Shui is about energy—also known as Chi—and how it flows through a space. A well-balanced bedroom should feel calm, supportive, and inviting. Here’s how to achieve that:

The Command Position: Your bed should be placed so that you can see the door without being directly in line with it. This positioning offers a sense of security and control.

Balance and Symmetry: Nightstands and lamps should be paired for harmony, even if they aren’t identical.

Declutter Your Space: Chi stagnates in cluttered spaces. Keep surfaces tidy, remove under-bed storage if possible, and opt for stylish yet functional storage solutions.

Soften the Energy: Use rounded furniture edges and warm lighting to create a gentle flow of energy. Consider living room lights that work equally well in a bedroom setting for a soft, ambient glow.

Furniture placement affects how energy flows in your bedroom. Here’s what works best:

Centre the Bed: Positioning your bed centrally with equal space on both sides fosters balance and ease of movement.

Avoid a Mirror Facing the Bed: Mirrors can bounce too much energy around, potentially disrupting sleep. If you love a mirrored wardrobe, position it so it doesn’t directly reflect the bed.

Use a Solid Headboard: A sturdy, well-made headboard symbolises support and stability in life. Opt for one in natural materials for an added organic touch.

Incorporate Natural Elements: A vintage Murano glass lamp next to a clean-lined travertine side table from Maison Flâneur? That’s how you create balance.

Even well-intentioned design choices can hinder good Feng Shui. Here’s what to watch out for:

Electronics Near the Bed: TVs, laptops, and phones emit electromagnetic energy that can interfere with rest. Keep them out of reach or, better yet, out of the room.

Under-Bed Storage: Storing items under the bed can block energy flow, particularly if they are old or emotionally charged items.

Beds Against a Window: This weakens the sense of stability and protection. If unavoidable, use thick curtains or blinds to create a sense of enclosure.

Feng Shui is not about rigid rules—it’s about finding balance and personalising your space in a way that makes you feel good. Think of it as a conversation between design and energy flow. At Maison Flâneur, we believe that the best interiors feel collected, not decorated. So, embrace curation, experiment with textures, and trust your intuition—your perfect Feng Shui bedroom awaits!
