Feng Shui Problem?

Question

I am currently re-arranging my bedroom and have been reading up about feng shui in the bedroom. I ran into a few problems though.

A) I can't avoid putting at least part of my bed under the window. (small room)

B) I have to have a desk in my room, though it won't have a computer it will be in the corner adjacent to my bed.

C) My bed faces the door to my closet, again unavoidable due to small size of room.

I was wondering if anyone knew of ways to help with these problems.

Answer 1

Feng Shui is ridiculous.  Like Billy Conolly said, it's just like aromatherapy.  SO useless.

Just put things where you get the most out of your space and can have what you want in there.  It's not complicated.

Answer 2

The most important thing in a bedroom is to sleep in one of your favorable directions. You can check yours with this calculator.

A) Having your bed under the window is no problem, just close the curtains and it's OK.

B) As to the desk, it also isn't a problem.

C) For the closet door, just be sure to have it closed.

Answer 3

A) If your bed has a solid headboard, that should be all right. You can also put a folding screen between your bed and the window.

B) Having a desk in your bedroom is ok as long as you don't overload it with piles of books or stuff your bring back from work.

C) Try to keep the closet door closed. That will help :)

Answer 4

i think you misunderstood what fengshui is. fengshui mostly depends on chi or the energy that occupies space in the house or room that you live in. the less space you have, the less chi it occupies. and you also need to note that chi can either be good or it can be bad.

i think it is obvious in life that people that do not have the luxury of big spaces are usually stuck in that kind of life - and that is what fengshui is about. you can only do a big difference if you have a bigger space.

with regards to a,b and c, i have 3 answers:

a). if you do not experience any accidents or unnecessary expenses, or if your life, finance or health is not broken, why fix it?

b). as i mentioned above, fengshui depends on chi. and space is a major factor. so, if you cannot get it, then you move, or live with it.

c). your a,b and c are basic fengshui, which is usually known to all chinese. these usually do you harm when you have them in your house/ room. but if you correct them, it does not attract money or good health into your life. for that, you need to learn the more advanced fengshui concepts like flying stars, 5 ghost carry money, water placements, etc. or hire a fengshui practitioner to apply fengshui in your house (not just the room, bec the fengshui of the room can be affected by the bad fengshui of the other parts of the house. in fengshui, a house is usually considered a unit, even if you live or just rent 1 tiny room.

Answer 5

Certainly, throw the book in the trash. Feng Shui is pseudo Science. Mysticism, completely unreliable. A perversion of Taoism, etc.. etc...

You can never get two so called "experts" to agree on anything.

Check out youtube, look for penn and teller bullsh.. Feng shui. YOu'll see what i mean

Answer 6

Have your window coverings on the whole wall behind your bed go floor to ceiling, wall to wall.  If you go with draperies, be sure to have sheers behind, to soften the effect, when you open your drapes.

A desk at the side is OK, if you keep it free of anything except flowers.

Place a mirror on a side wall, so the eye is drawn to it.  Remember, no TV in the room. A bedroom is made for two things, and TV is not one of them.

Remember, lose the clutter, have fresh flowers or a plant, a mirror, continuity in your room.  Be sure it is a restful color.

My husband chose our bedroom color, a soft sky blue.  It is so restful. Think along these lines.
