Place the bed in the right place

In your goal of well-being, sleep is fundamental. To have a proper nightly rest, Feng Shui recommends avoiding placing your bed under a window or in front of a mirror. All kinds of energy come in through the windows and the mirrors reflect it, so they could disturb your sleep.

Don´t place chairs with their backs to the accesses

When decorating and furnishing your home, try not to place any chairs with their back to the door or the main access of that room. It can create a lot of discomfort for the person who occupies that place, stopping the energies from flowing.

Hang roof decorations

Hanging decorations are objects typical of Feng Shui and very common in Asian decoration. These, in theory, facilitate the flow of Chi, although it is important to place them according to the cardinal points of the house to create different types of energy.
