Feng Shui 'could be the secret to restful bedrooms'

For those who want their bedroom to be harmonious, balanced and relaxing when they go to sleep in bed, the ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui may be useful.

The rules of the method dictate that rooms should be clutter-free with open curtains during the day to let energising light pour in, divine.ca reports.

A bed should not be placed under a light fixture or ceiling fan, nor should it be in direct line with a door as this pulls energy away from anyone trying to sleep.

Similarly, there should be enough room surrounding the bed for people to walk, meaning the room is balanced and positive energy is created.

When it comes to decorating the bedroom, red, pink and yellow tones are ideal as they represent passion, romance and communication.

The Better Sleep Council advises people that a bedroom should be "the most luxurious and personal space in any home - a soothing oasis that is conducive to relaxation and indulgent comfort".
