How to Create Good Feng Shui in Your Bedroom
Cultivating good Feng Shui in your bedroom isn’t just a case of simply rearranging furniture. Small changes, such as choosing calming colours, keeping your bedroom clutter-free, and incorporating elegantly styled furniture, can help create a harmonious interior - promoting positive Feng Shui and good energy.
What is Feng Shui?
Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice that focuses on harmonising the energy, or ‘Chi’, within a space to promote well-being. Originating over 3,000 years ago, Feng Shui is all about creating an environment where positive energy can flow freely, whilst enhancing the interior look and style of your space, in this case, the bedroom.
The Difference Between Good and Bad Feng Shui
The difference between good and bad feng shui lies in how energy or ‘Chi’ flows within a space. Good Feng Shui creates a balanced environment where energy moves effortlessly, promoting peace, health, and well-being. On the other hand, bad Feng Shui occurs when energy becomes blocked or stagnant, leading to feelings of discomfort, stress, or imbalance. This can happen in a cluttered room, with awkward furniture arrangement, or harsh, overwhelming colours.
Feng Shui Tips for Bedrooms
Revamping the space in your bedroom can have some magical effects on your well-being (more than you may realise). Bedrooms that allow energy to flow freely and present an airy, inviting feel can boost happy thoughts, in turn leading to a healthier state of mind.
Follow our tips below on how to arrange a bedroom Feng Shui to create serene and uplifting vibes:
1. Bed Placement
The ideal placement for your bed is to have the headboard facing south, and where it doesn’t block any windows or doors. Your bed should be in the ‘commanding’ position, this means the area of the room that feels empowering or ‘in control’. It’s the place where you can clearly see the whole room and have a good view of the bedroom door, but not be directly in line with it.

At Willow & Hall, our handmade beds are made with both comfort and balance in mind, making them ideal for crafting a bedroom that radiates good ‘Chi’ principles. Each bed is carefully constructed by skilled craftsmen, and you have a choice of over 150 calming colours and luxurious fabrics that promote relaxation and a positive flow of energy.
A well-made bed is a key element in Feng Shui, symbolising support and stability, and our beds are designed to enhance these qualities. With a Willow & Hall bed, you can create a serene and inviting space that encourages restful sleep and a sense of well-being.
2. Headboard Support
Having headboard support on your bed can greatly enhance the Feng Chui, or ‘Chi’ in your bedroom. A solid, well-constructed headboard symbolises stability, protection, and support in your life. It provides a strong foundation, helping to ground the energy in the room and fostering a sense of security.

This sense of stability is essential for a restful nights sleep and energy flow. A sturdy headboard can help you feel at ease, creating a calming and protected environment, allowing you to feel more at ease and supported in your personal space. This contributes to better relaxation, positive energy, and overall well-being in the bedroom.
At Willow & Hall, you can choose a new bedstead with headboard, or just the headboard to add to your existing bed.
3. Balanced Bedside Tables & Lamps
Balanced bedside tables on either side of the bed is key to Feng Shui furniture placement in the bedroom, as it symbolises harmony and balance in both your personal life and relationships. By placing matching tables on each side of the bed, you create symmetry that encourages a smooth and even flow of energy throughout the room.

This balanced arrangement promotes stability and mutual support, fostering a sense of connection and equality between partners. If you're single, incorporating this Feng Shui furniture placement helps create a more grounded and peaceful environment, enhancing the overall energy in your bedroom.
4. Declutter Your Bedroom
Decluttering your bedroom is a vital step in creating good Feng Shui, as a clean, organised space allows energy to flow freely. When your room is cluttered, it can block this energy, leading to feelings of stress, overwhelm, and restlessness.
We recommend removing any unnecessary clutter and maintaining a tidy space in your bedroom., This creates an environment that promotes calm, balance, and mental clarity. Decluttering also symbolises letting go of old energy, making room for new, positive energy to enter your life. In a Feng Shui optimised bedroom, clear surfaces and open spaces are essential for a restful and harmonious atmosphere.
Tidy up that pile of clothes on the floor or furniture, ensure your bedside tables aren’t overfilled, ensure you don’t have excessive furniture, and remove any unused and outdated items.
5. Create Hidden Storage Spaces
If you’re looking for ways to keep your bedroom clutter-free, you can use clever pieces of furniture such as an ottoman style bed or storage sofa bed to add valuable storage space.

Our range of storage beds at Willow & Hall offer ample hidden storage beneath the mattress, allowing you to store items like extra bedding, seasonal clothes, or personal belongings without overcrowding the room. This keeps the visible space clean and tidy, promoting a sense of openness and balance. By using furniture with hidden storage, you can ensure your bedroom remains a sanctuary of peace and relaxation, free from the distractions and negative energy that clutter can create.
6. Choose Soothing Colours
Soothing colours play a key role in creating a calm and balanced atmosphere in a bedroom. Soft, muted tones such as light blues, gentle greens, and warm neutrals are ideal for promoting relaxation and restful energy. These colours evoke a sense of peace and help reduce stress, making them perfect for enhancing the flow of positive energy.
When considering what are good Feng Shui colours for bedrooms, it's important to choose shades that feel nurturing and supportive. Pastels, earth tones, and soft whites are all excellent options, as they help create a serene environment conducive to good sleep and emotional well-being.
Choosing a cohesive colour theme and matching accessories or furniture can also enhance the Feng Shui of your bedroom. Matching furniture, such as bedside tables, chairs, or wardrobes, in soothing tones can further improve the positive energy, reinforcing the peaceful atmosphere that Feng Shui aims to achieve. Accessories like cushions, throws, or artwork that align with the room's colour scheme can also add warmth and cohesion, contributing to the overall balance and harmony of the space.
7. Create a Seating Area
Adopting a seating area, such as a single armchair, is a wonderful way to create a cosy nook in your bedroom. Adding a dedicated space for reading, relaxing, or enjoying a moment of quiet allows you to further enhance the sense of comfort and tranquility in the room. In Feng Shui, having a well-balanced, inviting space encourages positive energy flow and provides an additional spot for unwinding, separate from the bed.

If you have the space, have you considered adding a footstool too? A footstool, particularly when paired with a cosy armchair or placed at the end of your bed, creates a sense of luxury and relaxation, inviting you to take a moment to unwind. In Feng Shui, furniture that promotes comfort and relaxation encourages positive energy flow, making the space feel more balanced and welcoming.
8. Incorporate Natural Elements
If you’re wondering how to feng shui your bedroom for good luck, then incorporating natural elements such as greenery and part of the outdoors can help achieve this. Natural elements are believed to connect you with the earth’s positive energy and promote harmony and balance.
Adding plants like jade plants, bamboo, or orchids can attract positive energy and good fortune. Plants are not only aesthetically pleasing but also symbolise growth and renewal. They help purify the air and create a calming environment, which can support overall well-being and attract beneficial energy.
9. Limit Electronics
Limiting electronics in your bedroom is a key Feng Shui practice that contributes to a more balanced and restful environment. Electronics, such as TVs and computers, can disrupt the flow of positive energy and impact your sleep quality.
It can be helpful to dedicate another area of your home to electronics. If you’re working from home, create a welcoming office day in the spare room, or the corner of the lounge.
Electronics can be distracting and overstimulating, making it harder to unwind and relax. Keeping these devices out of the bedroom helps to maintain a calming atmosphere that supports restful sleep and relaxation.
