1. Get rid of the electronics
One of the most important aspects of promoting good feng shui in your bedroom is to remove any electronics from the room. This includes computers, mobile phones and especially televisions. One reason why doing this is so important is that they interrupt the positive and loving relationships that can exist within the bedroom. Another reason is that electronic devices increase the presence of Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs). EMFs are a type of electromagnetic radiation which is given off from all electronic devices.

Knowing this you can begin to see why removing the electronics from your bedroom is such an important part of creating good feng shui.
2. Declutter the space
If you want to ensure that your bedroom has good feng shui, you need to make sure that the room is well-ordered and decluttered. Having order and space in the room allows the energy to flow more efficiently, whereas clutter interrupts the process.

3. Position your bed correctly
The position of your bed is vital in establishing good feng shui in your bedroom. There are several considerations you need to be aware of.
- Your bed should not face a mirror as a mirror can deplete your energy when your body needs it most; to repair itself at night.
- Your bed should not be under a sloping ceiling, as this can restrict, and put pressure on, your energy.
- Your bed should not be under a window as your body needs the support of both a strong headboard and a solid wall, to help with rejuvenation during the night.
- Your bed should not face any sharp corners as they are sha chi, or poison arrows, which direct strong energy to attack your personal energy.
- Your bed should not be aligned with a door, as your energy will be drawn out through your feet as you sleep at night.
You should also be aware of which direction your bed should face in. In order to find your lucky direction you need to first calculate your kua number. It’s amazing how important something as seemingly simple as placing your bed, can be.

If you want to have good feng shui in your bedroom, you can’t have stale air. Therefore, it could be a good idea to invest in a Hospital grade air purifier. However, if you think that you may not have the funds to do so, then opening the windows during the day could also prove to be beneficial– it can allow the air to flow. Using essential oils in the room can also help to keep it fresh, and the oils themselves can have healing properties. Although plants are often said to help with the condition of the air in your home, they are not good for feng shui in the bedroom, unless you have a very large bedroom, and they are well away from the bed.

These tones are said to resemble a nourishing embrace.
