If your bedroom energy feels off, chances are… it is. Good design is about more than how a room looks, it’s about how it makes you feel. It might be time for a Feng Shui intervention. This ancient Chinese practice is all about arranging your space to optimise energy, inviting better sleep, deeper relaxation, and a sense of balance into your daily life.
Think less superstition, more intentional design. With mindful furniture placement, minimal clutter, soothing light, and the right mix of textures and materials, Feng Shui transforms your bedroom into a relaxing retreat.
Small changes, big energy shifts. When it comes to Feng Shui,there are a few smart dos and some definite don’ts. Do place your bed in a strong position, where you can see the door, without being directly in line with it.
Do keep clutter to a minimum and layer calming colours, textures, and soft lighting to support rest. Don’t overload the room with electronics, block energy with mess, or position mirrors directly facing the bed. Stick with us and we’ll show you exactly how to get it right, using the five Feng Shui elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.
Wood: Growth & Vitality
Wood infuses a bedroom with natural energy, warmth, and a grounded, calming vibe. Think clean lines, organic textures, and earthy tones. Try this: a bedside table in oak or walnut, paired with a lush statement plant like a bonsai. It’s a simple way to bring life, balance, and subtle vitality into the room.
Bedside table – €169.97
Fire: Warmth & Passion
Want your bedroom to feel cosy and alive? Fire is the secret. It creates warmth, energy, and a little passion without overwhelming the space. Place a cluster of candles in earthy holders, a warm-toned throw, or a soft bedside lamp.
Candle – €29.90
Earth: Stability & Calm
Earth is the element of stability, comfort, and slow, restorative energy. Layer ceramics, stone accessories, and natural textiles in warm neutrals to create a space that soothes the mind and body.
Bonsai Tree – €20
Metal: Clarity & Balance
Metal brings a sense of order and focus to your bedroom. Incorporate it through sleek mirrors, metal photo frames or sculptural clock. Pair with soft textiles and neutral tones to keep the room from feeling cold.
Mirror – €50
Water: Flow & Serenity
Bring the fluid elegance of water into your bedroom for a space that’s both serene and sophisticated. Layer silky aqua or teal bedding or a sculptural glass vase. Add art prints with watercolour washes, a frosted glass tray for jewellery, or even a small tabletop fountain to introduce gentle movement and soothing sound.
Vase – €19.99
