When
a young couple first gets married one of the most exciting projects is finding
and buying a house to make their home. Especially for those couples that have
not lived together prior to their wedding one room in particular is paid very
close attention. Bet you couldn’t guess which one… yep, the bedroom. Married
couples want their bedroom to be a place where only positive and uplifting
emotions are created and encouraged, emotions such as joy, love and happiness.
A
growing trend in today’s society that helps accomplish the right atmosphere for
a room or home is Feng Shui. Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice that
deals with the art of placement. Feng Shui provides tips and explanations for
how to organize furniture, hang art, and light rooms to achieve the perfect
ambiance in your home.
First,
Fung Shui experts recommend painting the walls tan, light brown, light green,
calm blue, or even a mute lavender. These colors help to promote a cozy and
welcoming yet tranquil atmosphere to begin and end each day. Bright colors like
red, orange or yellow are associated with opposite sides of the yin and yang
and are too ‘loud’ for the bedroom.
Second,
it is suggested that couples choose a piece of art together that communicates
love, happiness, joy, peace, and success to hang in front of their bed. This
way each morning when they open their eyes to welcome the day they are reminded
of those positive emotions.
Finally,
a critical choice in the atmosphere of the bedroom is the way in which it is
lit. The lighting should be flexible to allow plenty of sunlight to enter
during the morning, but shut out the night once the sun sinks away. Experts say
that when people are exposed to natural light when they first wake it prompts
the production and release of serotonin, the “happy” hormone. Therefore, the
choice of shutters and curtains is extremely important.
Couples
should choose shutters that provide adequate protection to their window
treatments and seals, but also allow plenty of light to enter the interior of
the home. Open the shutters and throw back the curtains in the morning to let
lots of warm sunlight start the day. The evening should be toned down with dim
light. The shutters should be cracked to allow just a slight view of the
setting sun, allowing just a bit of light to enter the room. Finally, once the
moon takes the sun’s place in the sky the shutters should be completely closed,
excluding any darkness from the bedroom. Choose thick shutters that also help
keep the heat in and cold, night air out. Tightly pulled shutters along with
closed curtains help create a little cocoon for you and your newly wed to feel
close and cozy.
