Best Colors For Your Feng Shui Bedroom

May 14, 2012

You may be surprised to learn that there are no color absolutes in a Feng Shui bedroom. 

The colors you choose for your bedroom should correspond to your life situation and the Intentions you have to create positive, healthy life changes.

Feng Shui Bedroom Colors That Support Your Intention

Skintones — Colors in the vast range of humanity’s skintones come the closest to being a must in a Feng Shui bedroom. 

From the palest pinks to the deepest shades of eggplant, these beautiful rich colors evoke the sensuality and comfort that’s desirable in any bedroom.

Reds — The “hot” color of romance is always a plus when you’re going for a loving, sexy atmosphere.

  • The question here is one of degree: if your intentions include love and romance, you’ll use more of these “Fire-y” intense colors in your bedroom. Accents and accessories may be just right, though!

Greens and Blues — These soothing shades add Feng Shui that cools things down.  Use them if your life feels overheated, to bring a bit of balance back into your life.

  • These colors also represent the idea of Family and New Beginnings in your life, so they’re appropriate when you’re trying to start a family or stabilize family relationships.

Yellows — Use sparingly! Bright colors like yellow are a good Feng Shui color accent, but usually won’t be appropriate as the dominant color in your bedroom.

Neutrals — Taupes, whites and creamy colors create the calm atmosphere you may crave, but be careful that the entire room doesn’t become “a snooze.”

Use the other colors in your palette to make sure the room retains a sense of fun and pleasure.

  • Rich textures add sensuality to a neutral-colored bedroom.  Silks, nubbly wools and soft cotton create a pleasurable space that’s also easy on the eyes.

Beyond color, from furniture selection and placement to art Feng Shui offers everything you need to make your bedroom the nourishing, supportive place you desire.

    Ann,
    What a helpful wonderful lesson in color palette Feng Shui for the bedroom. My pillows are quite colorful but the bedding is neutral so I’m really glad to know most of what I’m doing at least in the color area is right. One set I use sometimes are a deep red and orange (Indian) color styling, would love to know more about what that would evoke?

      Hi Susan, the deep red & orange bedding will add a lot of Fire-y energy to your bedroom, so you’ll need to decide if that feels balanced for you :) It might make your room invitingly sensual, or might be a little TOO hot — it’s up to you.

    Ann, this is so interesting! I think I have achieved a good balance with lots of bright accent pillows in greens and blues, white walls and black duvets and furniture. The rugs are green against hard wood floors. I feel so relaxed and comfy in the space!

      Thanks Ellen — the key is definitely feeling relaxed in your own bedroom! If that’s the case then you probably don’t need to make any changes at all.

    Ann, this is such a fun topic! I have to confess, I play it safe when it comes down to painting the walls. (My bedroom is a neutral color).  Now, that I know that there is a true meaning for the colors I select; I’ll be looking for more ideas to paint my kitchen, dining room, and living room.

      Thanks April — let me know what you decide to do. Color can make a huge difference in the balance and harmony throughout your home.

    Thanks

      Hi Yusi, It sounds as though a phone consultation might help you to bring balance into your space and back into your life. There is much more to making adjustments in these important areas of your life in additions to the color of your bedroom walls. Please let me know; you can write me directly at an@openspacesfengshui.com.
