Feng Shui Bedroom West B​agua Area Decor Tips

Decorating your bedroom for good feng shui can seem easy at the beginning. There are basic guidelines you can follow to create good energy in your bedroom. Even though simple, these basic guidelines are guaranteed to improve the energy in your bedroom space.

However, once you start looking into deeper feng shui layers and want a harmonious quality of energy in your whole home, not just the bedroom, things can get a bit frustrating. For example, how can you have good feng shui decor in a bedroom located in a Bagua area that does not like the earth element? Knowing that the bedroom’s best colors are the earth element colors, can you still use the fire element colors in a Bagua area that does not like fire? How about using the water element (that is not recommended for the bedroom) in a Bagua area that loves the water element?

To help you avoid frustration and confusion, we have a step-by-step guide on creating good feng shui in any Bagua area bedroom, from the north Bagua area to the south one.

West B​agua Area

According to the Bagua, or the feng shui energy map, this Bagua area needs a strong metal element decor, as metal is the governing feng shui element of the west area. What you want to do for good feng shui always supports the governing element of each Bagua area. This makes for really harmonious and balanced energy in your space. It gets a bit more complicated when the element needed in a specific Bagua area is not really welcome in the room located in this Bagua area.

Bedrooms need the energy of warmth, nourishment, and sensuality, which is almost the opposite of the metal element’s energy in the West Bagua area. Can you combine both requirements? Having strong metal element energy, as well as a warm and nourishing bedroom? Yes, you can.

Tips

Here are three simple tips to help you create good feng shui in a west Bagua area bedroom.

• Skillfully combining both the earth’s expressions and the metal feng shui elements is the best way to decorate a west-facing bedroom. Because earth element is nourishing for the metal-earth creates metal in the five feng shui elements’ productive cycle—you can decorate with as much earth element decor as it feels right for your space.
• Put a stronger emphasis on earthy colors (beige, sandy, light yellow) versus metal element colors (white and gray). For example, you can have sandy color walls, a rug, or an upholstered headboard with crisp white linens or lampshades.
• Avoid a strong presence of fire and water elements in the feng shui decor of your west-facing bedroom. Decorating a west bedroom with these two elements will drain the energy in this area. This is because fire melts metal, and water weakens it. In practical terms, avoid a strong presence of fiery colors. Avoid colors such as red, orange, purple, pink, strong yellow in your bedroom art, bedding, wall color, or rugs. Also, be sure to limit water element decor (colors blue and black), which is not good feng shui for a bedroom in any area.
