In Feng Shui, the bedroom represents your relationships, especially your romantic relationships. Healthy relationships are those that are equally balanced, supported and nurtured. So for today’s Feng Shui Friday Tip, let’s balance your bedroom!
I spoke about the importance of having your bed in the armchair position, now let’s talk about supporting it with some nightstands. Do your best to use a nightstand on each side of the bed. Choose nightstands that either match or are just about the same size.
Are you single? Do you want to be? If not, better get that second nightstand quick! New Year’s Eve is almost here ;) You know how important it is to make space for those new opportunities, so make room for that special someone too!
And this tip isn’t limited to occupied homes. In virtually every home staging I do, I really do my best to fit two nightstands into every master bedroom. Sometimes I have to be creative and use two small nightstands, but I feel it is important to have a master bedroom that will support two people.
And even for those that like living alone, you don’t want to have your bed pushed up against the wall. I’m sure you’ve heard the expression “I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today”. Avoid having days like this by keeping both sides of your bed open. Keep the energy around your bed clear and moving.
Now for those nightstands, choose matching lamps with soft lighting. Keep the accessories simple in your bedroom, this is your own private retreat. Keep the work out of the bedroom, save the kid’s photos for another area of the home and if you can survive without it 
, keep the TV in the den. And absolutely nothing from a previous relationship, please!
Choose artwork that reminds you of romance. Fresh flowers, soft linens, and perhaps a couple of accessories in sets of two. Your bedroom is your sanctuary, keep it pure, make it simple, have it reflect your idea of healthy romance. Balance your bedroom to enhance your relationships, intimate and otherwise.
