Applying Feng Shui in Choosing Bedroom Furnitureby Design Gallerie Send Feedback to Design Gallerie bedroom setMore Details about bedroom set here.
Some of these articles suggest that you follow personal style and taste encouraging you to stick with the things they love. On the surface, this seems to make a lot of sense. However, why then do we sometimes decorate our bedrooms with pieces we love only to find a month or two later, that the scheme doesn't seem to make us feel as comfortable or balanced as we thought they would? What accounts for the disconnect? Could "decorate as you please" not a useful advice? Yes and no. There is no reason why personal taste and style shouldn't be a major factor in bedroom furniture choices. However, there are some fundamental design principles that must always be taken into account. These fundamental design principles are based on common sense and have been around for ages, but have been reintroduced to us here in the US under the popular label "Feng Shui" in the last 20 years. For example, in bedroom design, furniture must be placed according to the bedroom inhabitant's circadian rhythms. What does this mean, you may ask? It is a simple principle, and yet often ignored. Place your bed towards the East if you like to wake up with the dawn. In this way, you'll wake up with the dawn as the sun comes up. Conversely, if you like to sleep til 1 pm, try to limit your bed's eastern exposure. Place it so that it faces North, or West. By carefully considering furniture placement, you put yourself in harmony with your natural rhythms and will inevitably feel more in harmony with your bedroom environment. Same principle holds true for furniture selection. What we are really going for is harmony with ourselves and the natural world outside through our furniture selection. Feng Shui promotes balance and harmony through a mix of elements: fire, water, earth and metal. Many furniture manufacturers offer all-wood bedroom sets which are often less successful because they carry too much of the "earth" element that overwhelmed the room. If you have a wood floor, why would you want an all-wood bedroom set. Balance must be achieved. There are furniture manufacturers that do an amazing job of mixing wood and metal elements in what I consider masterful Feng Shui design. Imagine a bed with espresso colored wood with delicious metal accents such as silver, satin beige and magnesium pewter. This creates a balance between wood and metal. Then add a headboard that curves upwards on either end to add the water element to the strong earth and metal tones. If you need practical storage, beds with underbed storage would be a good choice. This style exudes the earth element by providing a heavy, grounded base in which to store extra clothing. Ofcourse, if you find one highlighted with the metal elements in the headboard and knobs, you'll have a balance ensemble. Let's go back to the topic with which we started: By all means choose what you love when you furnish your bedroom and place your furniture, but keep Feng Shui principles in mind to create a balanced sanctuary in harmony with nature and the rhythms of your inner world. That will never go out of style!

Do What They Want and Get Involved By getting involved with what your children want to do, not what dad wants to or feels is best for them. The smile on their face will make it all worth it to you. I did not want my children to ride BMX as it can be a tough sport. My daughter broke her collar bone this past year in a race. But to see them smile and also automatically excelling in their school grades, I am happy I allowed them to do what they really wanted to do. Then don’t sit back rather go and partake by watching or even assisting in whatever they choose. You will not only bond with them, changing their lives for the better, but they will change yours for the better as well.
