Expert Answer

First, you don't want the mirror to be immediately obvious when you open the bedroom door. That's number one; it shouldn't stand out. Second, I'd say less is more. Giant mirrors are all about looking at yourself, and feng shui is most interested in the outward space. Stick with something small if you're going to hang a mirror.

Get rid of the clutter. That's really the key step you need to take. If you're going to cultivate harmony in your home, you have to keep it clean and minimalist.

This is a common complaint. People will say, "Oh, this is so much more housework," but in my opinion it's worth it. You know, the benefits of keeping a calm, centered, positive space are so strong that it's worth the extra 5-10 minutes of cleaning every day.

You can use screens to create “barriers” and separate the space. You can also use curtains to subtly divide the space.

Yes, a circular ceiling is better in feng shui because it symbolizes moving energy and not sharp corners.

Question

How do I Feng Shui my room when it's small?

Community Answer

Get rid of old things you don't need like trash, trinkets, etc. Donate your old clothes or give them away if they are usable. Also don't hang any pictures of water, and don't have too much pictures of people. Don't have any plants or fish tanks in there either.

Question

If I have to choose between placing the bed on a metal bed frame or directly on the floor, which is typically the wiser decision?

Community Answer

I would say to keep your bed off the floor on a metal frame. Even though the frame is solid, you will still have energy flow underneath your bed, unlike if you left it either without a backboard or on the floor.

Question

How do I arrange the nine areas of a bedroom so that the focus is on the love corner?

Community Answer

Declutter the area. Place red or fire element colors there. Add a painting/picture of a couple or animals or something that makes you feel love. Also, pair things, i.e. 2 pillows instead of 1 or 3, 2 candles or nightstands instead of 1, etc.

Question

My bed will only fit under the window. What should I do now?

Community Answer

This is the same issue I have. I don't think its a massive deal -- just make sure you have blinds/curtains to stop the light disturbing your sleep. Ultimately, your room is supposed to be like a sanctuary, free from distractions and free from chaos. I think this can still be achieved, despite the location of the bed.

Question

I have a beam above my bed and two doors, one we use and one that remains closed. What should I do? And, my room is light purple. Should I change it?

Community Answer

Treat the door you don't use as a wall (like it's not there) and move your bed accordingly if possible. Light purple isn't bad but bring in other colors to help bring balance like yellow and dark purple accents with silver fixtures.

Question

What can I place in a room to avoid negative energy from mirrors?

Community Answer

Place the mirror so that it doesn't face your bed, such as placing it on the other side of the same wall that your bedhead rests against. You can hide the mirror as well, such as throwing a cloth over it or, if it's on a dressing stand, flipping it around to face the wall during sleep. Inside a closet door that gets shut is another good place for it.

Question

My bed is on the opposite side of my room, which is very small. I can only fit one night stand, as I have cupboards on the left hand side of my room. Are the cupboards a problem?

Community Answer

Ultimately, if your room is quite small, it's important to utilise the space you have -- and without over-packing it with furniture. Keep in mind, minimalism is key. Are these cupboards for clothing? How much do you really need the night stand? More storage sometimes tempts people to get extra things. If the cupboards are for clothing, and you have very little floor space, then I'm tempted to say ditch the bedside table.

Question

If you can't move your bed, try replacing the light with one that doesn't end in a point and possibly swag it to a hook in the ceiling so that it is not hanging directly over the bed.

Question

Is this method scientifically proven?

Community Answer

No, feng shui was made with emotions, spirituality, and Chinese symbolism in mind. But it is one way of creating a sense of order and harmony in one's home, and having a sense of order and harmony is always calming and anxiety-reducing, regardless of the exact methodology used to achieve it.

First, ask your roommate if they are okay with it. If so, go ahead, and potentially have them help you for balance and support from a peer. If not, only do little things like moving the mirror slightly or adding candles or small ornaments of color.

Yes, I think it would. The symbol of water would be considered a negative in this space, and the blue colors may not attract romance like a warmer color would.
