Bad Feng Shui In The Bedroom: Art & Accessories

December 14, 2009

Part of the fun of being a Feng Shui expert is spotting pictures of truly-terrible Feng Shui in popular design magazines and using them as examples of “What Not to Do.”

For example, how would you like to sleep under this aggressive-looking lamp? It feels like it could eat the sleeper alive, making this bedroom seem unsafe, the number one no-no for Feng Shui in the bedroom!

The Claw.

The Claw.

Or how about this one:

You're being watched....

You're being watched....

The last thing we want is to feel like we’re being watched as we sleep! I know I’d feel really uncomfortable with this spooky set of eyes hovering over me all night. What about you?

Or this:

I Know??

I Know??

From a Feng Shui perspective two things are wrong with this setup : the words “I know” seem ambiguous for a bedroom — does one member of this couple feel that he or she “knows” better than the other?

Besides that, having such powerful electromagnetic energy near their heads is downright harmful.

Really a Feng Shui no-no.

What do you think: can these rooms be saved?

    You convey your point so well! I feel like my home is my haven, and I make it a point to incorporate lots of earth elements but also visuals that uplift, in a universal way. I have a large print of a pear and plums above my fireplace mantle. I recently learned that it is entitled, “Kindness”. In a way, although we didn’t even know it, it sets a tone for our family room where family and friends gather. It made me feel good when I learned of its title. I believe that the mindset of the artist, when creating, is echoed in the art, and carried through into its future. I think that’s part of the reason we’re drawn to what we’re drawn to, when we create our spaces. This is a great blog. Thank you. Love to learn more about feng shui, beyond what i intentionally and intuitively create.

      Gloria — Thanks so much for all your comments! I’m so glad you enjoy the blog; I love to write it :) I completely agree with you about how the artist’s intention comes through in their art — wonderful that your mantel artwork is entitled “Kindness” and you didn’t even know it when you bought it. It seems like a perfect illustration of what your intention must have been when you bought it.

      Please let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to write more about in the blog. I really appreciate your comments. Have a great holiday!
