Feng Shui Colors For A Bedroom

 

Feng Shui Bedroom ColorsEach week, I have numerous conversations with single men/ women and married couples on what the best color is to paint their bedroom. Of course each person or couple has their own unique style and many times I will tailor my suggestions based on the specific person, couple or space.

In general, pink is considered to be one of the best colors for the bedroom because it is the color associated with relationships. Pink is also thought of as an auspicious color combining the fire/ passion of red and the metal element of white. Pink represents love and pure feelings of joy, happiness, and romance.

Light blues and light greens are positive colors for a bedroom as well as small accent colors of red. Green represents tranquility, hope and freshness as seen in spring growth or that of a new plant or leaf.

If an individual is seeking to get married, then they may want to consider painting the bedroom pink or peach.

The color peach aligns with "Peach Blossom Luck," which represents attraction and love. A person that is single with peach blossom luck will be outgoing, social, make new friends and have numerous admirers. However, once married, consider painting the bedroom a different color as it can lead to adultery.

I typically don't recommend chocolate brown in the bedroom as it can give a heavy feeling. Some believe that it can be used to create a stable, established impression, I equate it to autumn, when leaves turn brown and fall to the ground.

Many Chinese stay away from having white blankets on their beds because it is similar to the shroud that covers the dead and fear sleep will seem like death. Although, plain white sheets or white sheets with flowers or colorful designs are fine. The use of pink or red sheets and blankets are used by those seeking to get married or by newlyweds to ensure wedding bliss.

When thinking about the bedroom, one of the most important principles is determining the placement of the bed in the command position, a power position that provides a view of the door, prevents surprise, and gives control of an environment.

peach color for bedroom it should the same colour for every 4 faces
Posted @ Sunday, February 08, 2009 11:35 AM by Blink
You can incorporate peach into the bedroom any way you see fit. It can be on all 4 walls, or could be on certain walls. Each person and space are different. Some people incorporate peach into the color scheme and not with paint.

What is the proper color for a North bedroom for a Kua 1 and Kua 2 couple? Currently it is cream walls, cream carpet, flowing/draped cream window covering, turquoise blue linens, with shell painting on North wall.

I am a bachelor. What COLOUR should i paint for my master bedroom for year 2010? Please help me.
Posted @ Saturday, January 02, 2010 8:26 PM by Franklin
Franklin, I would stick to the light blues or greens for the bedroom.

This picture took my attention.  
We painted our bedroom pink last year. Our blanket has red and green leaves on it. We actually got married few months later we changed the decoration, and we love our bedroom! Our bed position and decoration is very similar with this picture, the only difference is that we have two picture frames on the top of the bed instead of one. Is that bad?

I am a single mom of two young girls. My bedroom is all white with white closet doors and white wood trim all around. I prefer green as opposed to peach but am wondering if the intensity of the color or tone makes a difference. Is a rich, dark peach preferably to a light peach color (if one is interested in getting married or finding a lifelong partner)? Is a light olive or moss green a good color? And, what about the ceiling color and wood trim? Can those remain white or is adding color to those preferable, too. Thank you!
Posted @ Tuesday, January 26, 2010 4:14 PM by Kris
Kris, A light color green is soothing and favorable color for the bedroom. I personally prefer lighter colors instead of darker colors regardless if it is peach, green, etc. The ceiling color and trim is fine to leave white.

I would like to put a Painting in my Master Bedroom,is it ok? What painting should i hang?
Posted @ Tuesday, January 26, 2010 11:11 PM by Franklin
Franklin, Yes, it is ok to put a painting in your master bedroom. Just make sure it is not of a single man or woman. Should be of a couple or scenery or art is fine. Just make sure that it relaxes and inspires you and not depresses you with the colors or reminds you or difficult times.
Posted @ Wednesday, January 27, 2010 10:22 PM by Ken Lauher
Ken ~ Another blog with fantastic information. Color in a bedroom is so important and if selecting a pink or peach color scheme can also positively influence your relationship, it is something definitely worth looking into. kate

Posted @ Wednesday, February 03, 2010 5:34 AM by Erica
Erica, I might not paint the bedroom peach but may consider a pink, light blue or light green color.

Hi Ken,  
I'm single. I have implemented various feng shui elements in my bedroom, but wanted to check regarding my painting. I have a large painting of a sleeping buddha's face which is gold/bronze in color and although it's of a single image, it is extremely peaceful and gives me a sense of calm and not loneliness when I look at it. Is it ok to keep it?
Posted @ Friday, February 05, 2010 1:08 AM by Leena
Hi. I have been married for almost 10 years. My husband and I both have issues with sleep and fatigue,which interfer with our intimacy.  
 
our bedroom is a med blue color. it is mellow but very cool...almost actic in feel. I thought it would be calming. 
 
lately I have been thinking about changing the colour of the room to a kind of flesh tone. not peach...but a nice warm neutral. I think the colour will be calming as well as better for romance than the very cool colour we have now.  
 
What are your thoughts about this? 
 
Thanks !!! 
 
Sandra
Posted @ Sunday, February 21, 2010 2:51 AM by sandra frankel
Sandra, Some colors can actually deplete a person's energy. I would try the color change and it may be enough to invigorate new energy into the relationship.
Posted @ Sunday, February 21, 2010 7:01 AM by Ken Lauher
Love this article! I just became single and am looking to bring greater love into my life. I bought a silver comforter with light pink sheets...however, the silver actually looks more lavender. That's not a color you mention in this article, and I want to make sure I haven't just added a color that will hurt the love energy in my bedroom. I also have two throw pillows with pink included in them. 
 
 
 
Thanks!

thanks ken! :) 
 
Is mocha and white a good color for a bedroom as well?
Posted @ Tuesday, March 23, 2010 12:47 AM by erica
Erica, I typically recommend staying away from the darker browns as they can lead to depression.
Posted @ Tuesday, March 23, 2010 10:42 PM by Ken Lauher
Ayshu, 
 
I would lean towards the light greens for you. Something soothing, peaceful and truly relaxing.

Hi Ken, 
 
 
 
My kids and I recently moved into a new home (not literally new but new to us) I'm engaged but because of our situation my fiancé and I won’t be together in our home for quite sometime. I want your advice on what colors I should use in our bedroom. For my kids as well. I have a daughter (7yrs) and a son (12yrs). Thank you... 
 
Posted @ Wednesday, April 07, 2010 11:01 AM by Christina
Christina, I would consider a light green for your bedroom. For your daughter, I would consider light rose color but maybe not all the walls and for your son a light blue and white theme.
Posted @ Wednesday, April 07, 2010 9:30 PM by Ken Lauher
Hello Ken, 
Thank you very much for ths site.This is very helpful! 
I have a quetion, pls I need your answer.Is it okay to hang pics of the dead like parents, grandparents, greatgreat grandparents, etc on the walls? If its okay, in what part of the house? Thank you very much in advance. God Bless you!

Hi Ken, I have a desk and computer in my bedroom, is this bad? Also a tv. 
 
 
 
Im renting a dnthis house is small. If the bedroom is not good and i dont have an office. Where would a good place for the computer be? Thanks
Posted @ Monday, April 19, 2010 4:22 PM by Tania
Tania, It is not ideal to have electronics, tv, etc. in the bed. Keep in mind that the bedroom is for two things and they both start with the letter "S"
Posted @ Monday, April 19, 2010 8:47 PM by Ken Lauher
Hi Ken, I love your site, I always get such great tips! 
 
 
 
I am married and currently my bedroom is painted a light pale pink. I am also a new mom and needless to say have many sleepless nights while I'm a full-time working Mom. 
 
 
 
I feel that changing the paint color will bring better energy and happiness in my marriage - which is very strained. 
 
 
 
What color will be best for the walls? 
 
 
 
Thank you!

Lilly, first off, congratulations on your new arrival. This is a very exciting time. Enjoy it! Above, I suggested colors for the bedroom. I usually suggest colors for each person but for you I think you have your heart set on a specific color and instead of me sharing it with you, I want you to tap into your intuition and be strong enough to share it and paint it. To improve your relationship, think about sharing love not only with your new arrival but with your significant other. And make sure you have time for yourself as this can be the most important love of all.

Hi Ken,  
 
i'm a single and always seems to have no luck. i'm planning to revamp and room and repaint it from pale blue to pink. 
 
i'm thinking pink and light pink on 2 walls each or pink and peach... what do you think? 
Posted @ Saturday, May 29, 2010 12:24 AM by J
Hi Ken 
 
I just bought a canvas painting with left half as abstract art and the right half as front half face of sleeping buddha for my bedroom. However someone told me it is bad luck to put a painting of buddha in the room. Please let me know if its okay to put up the painting.
Posted @ Sunday, June 06, 2010 12:49 PM by Sharad
Sharad, 
 
Sometimes art is just art. You have to decide what it means to you and symbolizes. However, I would not personally have a buddha with half a face in my bedroom. When dealing with individuals, you want to see their full face and for bedroom art or pictures, best to have pairs of people represented. Here you have a half a person.

Hi Ken, 
 
I just found this web site and really enjoy it. We will be married for 30 years this November. I would like to paint and hang new wall art in our bedroom. I bought a red quilt with floral and paisley prints with green, blue, beige and a smidgen of gray. I thought about painting the walls a gray and trim it out in white. I'm just not sure which gray. The last child has moved out and it's back to just him and me. Looking for that spark we had pre-children and need a little help with the color scheme. Our walls have been tan and my husband just told me he really dislikes that color. I want to make sure whatever I do helps create the closness and energy we're looking for. Thanks for your help.

Hi I am a singleparent/mother, and I my bedroom is in the North, NorthEast section of apartment. My walkin closet and bathroom is NorthWest which can be entered from my room. My bed head touches north wall. What colour paint should I paint room and or what should I do in the north wall since I cannot put a water feature or picture in the room? I am about to paint wall olive green
Posted @ Sunday, July 18, 2010 5:53 PM by Chevonne
Chevonne, Keep in mind that when speaking of cardinal direction of North, etc., that you are referring to a different school of Feng Shui that I do not practice. I practice the BTB method where we view a space by how the chi enters a home or room. The bedroom is a yin feature, water is a yang feature so I don't recommend running water in the bedroom. Also, the noise of the water can disturb your sleep. I recommend light, soothing colors. I'm not sure how deep and dark the olive green is. I always compare green for the bedroom as a color of a new leaf.

Ken, 
I need some help with my room. I have a very bad set up with a west facing room. My door is on the East wall towards the South side of the bedroom and my window on the West wall towards the South. The entire North wall of my room is a closet. There is nowhere to put my bed that is not in the draught between the door and window. I need a good color scheme. I'm 27, single, and haven't had good luck with relationships. I also have anxiety and insomnia. Can you you have me any tips?
Posted @ Wednesday, July 21, 2010 4:57 AM by Megan
Just a little correction... my window is on the west wall towards the north..so my bed is caught in a diagonal between the door and window.

DJN, 
 
Thank you for leaving a comment. Each individual and space is different. To accomplish specific goals regarding love and marriage, I recommend considering a one-on-one consultation so that we can provide custom advice to your situation for maximum impact.
Posted @ Sunday, August 08, 2010 5:53 PM by Ken Lauher
We just had our house painted about two months back. Prior to painting, I was doing extremely well as a translator. The master bedroom is where I work from. Ever since we got it painted in light and dark (indigo) blue color, my work seems to have been affected negatively (less work), and I find that I am not able to concentrate well and am getting distracted by different things. Have we chosen the wrong colors for our room?
Posted @ Saturday, August 14, 2010 7:00 AM by Honey
Honey, What was the color of the master bedroom before you painted it? Dark colors including dark blue can lower a person's energy. I recommend colors on the lighter side as listed in the above article.
Posted @ Sunday, August 15, 2010 7:05 PM by Ken Lauher
Hi Ken, thank you so much for your article! I've been feeling so drained lately (I can barely stay awake and no motivation) and have never painted the walls of my room. I'm looking for a color that will both help bring me positive energy towards finding a relationship and career. Can you suggest something? 
Thank you, 
Eloise

Hi Ken, 
 
 
 
I love the picture above of the pink bedroom! I want that bed - do you know where I can find that same bed?? Thanks!

Hi Ken, 
 
 
 
Me and my husband(married for 17 yrs)wanted to paint the master bedroom located in the northeast part of the house. Wanted to have the north wall painted/ or wallpaper in a pinkish purlish colour with the rest of the walls white. 
 
 
 
But the colour of the north is black and blue. hence the concern. 
 
 
 
Please advice.Thanks 
 
Posted @ Friday, August 20, 2010 2:51 AM by Melany
Eve, I'm not sure of the name or manufacturer of the bed.
Posted @ Friday, August 20, 2010 6:18 AM by Ken Lauher
Hi Ken, great article! I'm single,not really dating seriously yet wanting to be married in the future, and I'm very new to feng shui. 
 
I just had my bedroom repainted 3 months ago. Three walls are a pale sage green and my accent wall is the dreaded chocolate brown.  
 
 
 
I've decided to repaint my bedroom pink, however I do love the idea of an accent wall.  
 
Which color should I use as an accent wall, that won't clash with pink? I was thinking red, but that visual isn't quite clicking for me. Or should I not consider an accent wall at all? Thanks!
Posted @ Saturday, August 21, 2010 12:28 AM by MaryP
Mary, You may want to consider your accent wall to be pink and the rest of the walls white or ivory. A red wall is a little to energizing for the bedroom.
Posted @ Saturday, August 21, 2010 4:30 PM by Ken Lauher
Hi Ken 
 
I am about to paint my room a very light dull brown and have an accent wall in turquoise.Could you please tell me a bit more about these colours on how they will affect my life in my bedroom? 
 
thanx in advance :)
Posted @ Friday, August 27, 2010 11:00 AM by Natalie
Hi Ken,  
I was planning on painting my room in the next few days and wanted some advice. I plan on painting it light blue on 3 walls then the wall that my bed is against, I was going to place a circular pattern on it using greens and various shades of blues. Because this wall is the one where my bed will be placed, would this be a bad idea? 
Thanks :)
