Feng shui your child's bedroom

Does your little one sleep soundly through the night, or do they end up in your bed?
Children can be much more sensitive to the energies in their environment than adults,
and their sleeping habits can be a good indiciation of how comfortable their bedroom
really is.

Create a cosy haven with a good flow of energy to encourage a good night sleep with
these easy-to-apply feng shui tips from Living Edge Feng Shui:


The head of the bed should be placed against a solid wall to encourage support
and stability, while the placement of the bed should not be underneath a window or
in direct alignment with the door.


The fewer the electrical items in the bedroom the better! The electromagnetic fields
(EMFs) created by this equipment can be energy-depleting - particularly electric
blankets. Ensure clocks, computers, lamps, etc, are at least 2 metres away from
sleeping areas.


Clutter causes stagnant energy and disrupts sleep. With a simple storage system you
can ensure that everything in the bedroom has its own home.
Make a point of going through your children's toys and clothes at least once a year.
Items can be categorised into three areas: keep (for items still used), charity (for items
no longer used and in good condition), or bin (for broken items).
Never use underneath the bed as a place for storage as this creates stuck energy
and disrupts sleep.


Pastel colours work best to create a relaxed and harmonious environment. Avoid
bold and bright colours such as hot pink or red which are energising and known to
create hyperactivity, making it hard for your kids to fall asleep at night.


If your child's bedroom is also their playroom, use the furniture and furnishings in a
clever way to create zones. Ensure the sleeping side of the room is clutter free and
cosy to encourage rest, while the play side can be more creative, colourful and fun!


Avoid mirrors in the bedroom! They are too ‘yang' (active) and can make it hard to
fall asleep at night. Instead, hang a happy family picture or a snap of their favourite
pet on the wall which will create positive feelings and a sense of happiness and
security for your little one.
