Feng Shui Your Sleek Space: Choosing Replacement Bedroom Doors For Better Rest

In today’s busy world, many of us are looking for ways to truly unwind after a long and stressful day. If you’re intrigued by the concept of feng shui and are interested to learn more about how it could positively impact your everyday life, you’re in the right place!

What is feng shui? 

Feng shui is a Chinese concept, which is focused on creating a sense of harmony between you and your environment. By carefully positioning items in your home, it is thought that you can harness positive energy, avoid stagnation, boost your wellbeing, and create balance in your life. 

Practitioners of feng shui believe that even the simplest principles can help to create a peaceful energy in the home, so let’s explore some of the techniques you can employ in your own bedroom to promote rest, relaxation and rejuvenation.

Choose a commanding position for your bed 

Choosing the correct position for your bed is key, as it’s somewhere you’ll spend around a third of your life recharging your energy levels for the day ahead. Under the principles of feng shui, the commanding position means that you should be facing the door when you’re in bed, however, you should not be directly aligned with it. 

Declutter your space 

Ideally, the space underneath your bed should be completely free from clutter, as this allows the qi or the life force energy, to evenly and freely flow around your bed as you sleep. This is said to restore and rejuvenate your energy overnight, ensuring you’re fully ready for the day ahead.

If you need the area beneath your bed for extra storage, it’s important to be mindful of the things you’re placing here. Feng shui experts recommend avoiding storing shoes or luggage under the bed, as this can interrupt your rest. Similarly, don’t store mementoes from past romantic relationships underneath your bed, as this is said to potentially negatively impact your current situation.

Keeping items related to rest and sleep underneath the bed, such as pillows, blankets and bed linen, is acceptable under the principles of feng shui. You can also store a couple of books under the bed, provided that they contain information and stories that are positive. 

Pro Tip: Built-in storage finished with beautiful replacement bedroom doors can help you to enhance your organisation and keep your bedroom as tidy and clutter-free as possible. 

The simplicity of our Bella Knebworth handleless replacement bedroom doors is well-suited to a clutter-free bedroom, as its handle-free, smooth surface has a classic, clean and contemporary finish. 

Invest in a beautiful, grounding headboard 

Headboards represent support and stability in feng shui, particularly with regard to your romantic relationships. Choose a solid headboard with soft edges and securely attach it to your bed or a wall to ensure that you reinforce its inherently supportive and strengthening properties.

Pro Tip: Matching your headboard to your replacement bedroom doors can create a sense of harmony and cohesion throughout your space. Natural materials work wonderfully in a feng shui bedroom, as they can signpost your connection with the natural world. Our Valore slab replacement bedroom doors come in a range of beautiful natural finishes, including light natural casesella oak and cool urban oak.

Build a beautiful, neutral colour palette 

Neutral and earthy tones are the best colours for feng shui in a bedroom, as they’re not overly stimulating and promote rest. If you want to create an atmosphere that boosts vitality and rejuvenation, incorporate cool sky blues and light pistachio greens for a refreshing and gentle look. 

While the majority of your colour palette should ideally be neutrals, this doesn’t mean that you can’t experiment with colour at all. Small amounts of red and pink work beautifully in a bedroom, particularly as they’re colours that are associated with partnership and connection. There are numerous ways you can incorporate flashes of colour without overwhelming your space, including bed linen, artwork, and candles.

Prioritise symmetry 

As well as being pleasing to the eye, a symmetrical bedroom can help to establish a balanced energy in your bedroom. While there is no need for your bedside tables to match, having equal amounts of space on either side of your bed to house a small table is a great way to start prioritising symmetry in your bedroom.

Be mindful of what you’re bringing into your bedroom 

As your bedroom should be somewhere you associate with rest, it’s important to be mindful that some objects can disrupt this energy. Feng shui practitioners advise against bringing workout equipment and electronics into the bedroom, both of which have a very active energy that can disrupt your sleeping patterns. Many practitioners will also advise keeping large numbers of books elsewhere in your home, as they contain energy that stimulates the mind.
