Light your fire with these feng shui bedroom decoration tips for sparking more romance
A bedroom that encourages romance can do wonders for your love life
Your master bedroom should be decorated and arranged to foster rest, rejuvenation and romance.
The room should be neither too Ying (girlish) nor too Yang (masculine) as you are looking for perfect balance.
Absolute feng shui no-nos in the master bedroom include:
And anything that relates to your work and does not relate to rest, relaxation and romance!
A queen-sized bed is most recommended for bringing more romance into your life. There’s a feng shui saying that says: “if you want something new to come into your life, it has to have somewhere to go.”
Bearing this in mind, a single bed leaves little room for a love partner. King beds are less desirable because (in most cases) they have a split box spring, which is believed to energetically cause divisions in relationships. To cure a king-sized bed, and energetically draw the two halves of the box spring together, place a red cloth or use a red fitted sheet on the box spring with the intention of bringing you and your partner closer together.
Another surefire way to ensure equality in a relationship is to have equal-sized bedside tables and lamps. Mismatched pieces can represent an unbalanced relationship, with one partner being more dominant over the other.
If you have only one bedside table and lamp you may have difficulty forming lasting relationships because you only get what you are energetically asking for… and that’s a one night stand!
You should also be aware of the significance of art. Battle scenes, predatory animals, crashing waves and damsels in distress give off the wrong energy message. Look for art that features things in pairs: two flowers, two young lovers, two bottles of wine – you get the picture.
And photos of family in the master bedroom are taboo. Do you really want your kids or Great Aunt Ethel symbolically watching you being intimate?
Additional feng shui enhancements for the romance include:
But beyond romance, can feng shui help your love life? For suggestions beyond the basics, I posted this question to my colleagues in the International Feng Shui Guild (IFSG). It turned out to be one of our most lively Facebook Group discussions ever!
IFSG member Piper Lauri Salogga summed up feng shui and sexuality perfectly: “Feng shui is a direct connection to nature’s pulse and, as human beings, we are part of that pulse. We have a beautiful, physical, animalistic charge, organic and blossoming. When we use feng shui and design to connect those energies of the earth to the energies of our hearts, it is powerful beyond measure.”
Here are some additional recommendations:
