Feng Shui New York--The BEDROOM

Feng Shui in New York- BEDROOMS and Interior Design

As a Feng Shui practitioner in Manhattan and Long Island, I love seeing the different spaces in both apartments and homes.  It's interesting that many of the Principles of Feng Shui do NOT go along with the principles of Interior Design and it's also interesting to me that more Interior Designers, Decorators and Home Stagers are more interested In Feng Shui then ever before. The differences we share are often in BEDROOMS.

This room in Smithtown  Long Island in New York was in a spacious, three bedroom home.  It was furnished by an Interior Design student who was looking for love (among some other issues).  In Interior design you are taught to think in ODD numbers---threes or fives for example.

In Feng Shui, particularly in the bedroom and partnership areas, we are thought to think in TWOS.  Two people, two statues, two candles as twos signify a partnership and three, well, is a crowd!  We don't want to bring a third person into our relationship.

A Lovely Bedroom--Without Feng Shui Principles

We also think in the color PINK for romance.  While this doesn't mean you have to paint your entire room pink, throw pillows, candles and flowers can be added to almost any color scheme to represent pink.

We also need to allow someone to come into our life by creating room for new energy-and a new person.  Having one side of a bed up against the wall goes against Feng Shui principles for this very reason...there is no ROOM for a new person.  In Feng Shui and Bedrooms in particular, we need BALANCE, something this room is lacking. Cleaning out one drawer and part of your closet (it likely needs it anyway) is also a good decision.

As a Feng Shui Consultant, we also want to see our clients "backed-up" in life....and in their bedrooms and offices.  A solid headboard (wood is best so it doesn't pick up any EMF's) is recommended.  And choose your artwork carefully.

Back to our bedroom in Feng Shui.  This is a lovely room but NOT a room that employs Feng Shui principles.  It's not uncommon for me to see a light go off in one of my client's when they have been taught SO differently but are able to understand WHY Feng Shui Consultants view things the way they do---and they're off to make some changes!

*If you've read this long, one more piece of advice.  We are looking for a PARTNER, not a power play situation...keeps your "twos" in the SAME SIZE : )
