In continuation with our Feng Shui series, we now bring you
Feng Shui for your children’s rooms. As
with every other room in the house your child’s room also needs attention so
that they have a cozy space where they can sleep peacefully, be happy and cheerful.
Feng shui can help you achieve this goal by these simple tips.
Placement of the bed-
Don’t place the bed directly in front of the door, the ideal position or “commanding
position” would be across the room, diagonal from the door. This would help
with issues in sleep as it puts the child in command of their room.
Choose the right
color- A youngster’s room needs to have a balance of energy, so it should
be neither too bright nor too dark while keeping in mind the personality and
taste in mind. Using pastel shades of their favorite colors will achieve both
the purposes.
Use Feng shui to boost
self confidence- Place a full length mirror at the child eye level in
his/her room, this will help in boosting self confidence. Another good idea
would be to display their artwork or craft or family pictures to create a sense
of comfort and love.
Ensure that the room
is not cluttered- While this applies to most rooms, it’s a bit difficult to
achieve it with a child. However, try to inculcate a habit of putting away
toys, books and clothes away at the end of the say. An easy solution would be
to have a designated place for everything, use a lot of boxes and baskets where
things can be swept into in one go.
Hanging artwork-
involve your child in picking up the artwork for their room, as stated in the
point above you can use their own creations and family pictures. Do not hang
pictures that depict fast movement in case your child has a hard time sleeping,
as this might induce restlessness.
