While most people have heard of Feng Shui, few understand what it actually is. Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of placement, which facilitates the flow of energy within your home, helping to enhance your personal energies and create a positive atmosphere in which to live.
Even if you don’t believe in the spiritual aspect of Feng Shui, many of the principles make a lot of sense and may help improve the look, feel and flow of your home.

Place your bed in the ‘Commanding Position’ of your bedroom. This is the spot furthest from the door, but where you can still see the doorway and anyone approaching while you’re lying in bed. Positioning your bed here is said to allow you to be stronger, calmer and in control.
