Q & A on Feng Shui du Jour: Your Bedroom Walls
Q: Is there anything that you approve of to put on the wall above a beds headboard?? Thanks! I really like your tumblr!
A: Thank you so much! Yes, of course, the space above a bed’s headboard is a valid space to decorate. Think simple and think holistically about what you should be sleeping under to best begin to answer this question yourself. If you are prone to nightmares or insomnia, a BRIGHT RED painting or a photo of something tempestuous will not be a smart move for you. A giant, heavy ANYTHING in an earthquake prone area is a giant NO, as is a MIRROR or anything heavy that is on the wall behind you that is not hung at a professional level ( as in, no D-I-Y are installations over your head unless you REALLY know what you are doing. Mirrors are rarely a good thing (* there are exceptions to every rule), and wall vinyl that is tasteful could be a great thing. What is in your bedroom should be reveuvenating, calming, an expression of unity or of feeling placid and content. No need to put “motivational” affifmations over your head. Save it for your office area/ workspace. Metal sculptures, sharply pointed objects, shelves piled with books/stuff and lots of Christmas tree lights with wires are non-optimal for most everyone… I HOPE THAT HELPS!!! xx Dana
