Feng shui is the Chinese philosophy of arranging furnishings in a room to let the yin and yang of energy, or qi, to flow freely through the room. If
kids bedroom furniture is placed properly, the qi can circulate freely bringing excellent fortune to the inhabitants, but if improperly positioned, then the qi is trapped attracting bad luck. Historical Chinese followers developed buildings, not just living spaces, on this philosophy. Though Feng Shui has a lot of complex rules, we are going to reveal some simple approaches to incorporate feng shui into your kid’s bedroom.
The first phase to incorporating Feng Shui in your child’s space is to have a lot of fresh air. Fresh air helps make a space lighter, of course fresher, and just more comfortable. When we spend time in a stale space, we feel sluggish and slow, but add refreshing air and we perk right up. The same is true for your child. If you dwell in an area where the seasons are harsh, add oxygenating plants and aromatherapy scents to the space to help make moods light and easy, even during the worst time of year.
Next, clear any clutter out of your child’s room and help get the space organized. Clutter and disorganization are bad for the thought process and keep us feeling discombobulated. A clean, arranged room helps us think clearly and creatively. Get kids bedroom furniture that’s designed to keep things stored away. Use large hampers to keep soiled clothing off the floor. Put containers and shelves in the closet to store toys, clothes, and shoes. Use workspace drawers to keep homework and art supplies neatly stored and in their space, and last but not least use below bed storage crates to hide away those things that are utilized only once in a while.
Last is to decorate like a Feng Shui master. This does not necessarily mean blowing the household finances on expensive Feng Shui associated prints, but instead looking at your personal Feng Shui decorator: your kid. Hang art work they created around the house. Use greens and blues in areas where serenity could prevail, such as bedrooms, and reds, yellows, and oranges in other rooms such as the kitchen area or family room. Furthermore hanging up your child’s artwork shows them that you recognize their creativity and boosts their self esteem.
