A Filipino home is not just a place to live, but a center of the family's happiness and energy. And when it comes to the bedroom, Feng Shui plays a very important role. Many people in the Philippines are now incorporating traditional Chinese Feng Shui principles into their home designs, as it is not just a belief but a proper practical system that allows positive energy to flow into the room.

In this article, I will tell you in detail how to create a Feng Shui bedroom layout in a small house in the Philippines, along with details of measurements, cost, materials and plan drawing so that you can easily design your bedroom according to Feng Shui.

What is Feng Shui Bedroom?

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice that means Wind and water. It is believed that arranging things in the right direction and positioning your home will create positive energy flow and improve family health, wealth, and relationships.

The bedroom is a place where we spend a third of our lives, so its design matters a lot. Poor bedroom layout can lead to poor sleep, increased stress, and even relationship problems. That's why even in the Philippines, people are now designing their bedrooms following Feng Shui principles.

Bedroom Size And Measurement

In the Philippines, the most common bedroom size in a standard small house is 10ft x 12ft, or 120 sq.ft (11.1 sq.m). Small houses can also be 3.0m x 3.5m (10.5 sq.m / 113 sq.ft), and larger houses can be 4.0m x 4.5m (18 sq.m / 193.75 sq.ft).

According to Feng Shui, a bedroom doesn't need to be large; rather, its shape and proportion are important. A square or rectangular room is considered best. If your room is L shaped or irregular, Feng Shui experts recommend using a mirror or divider to balance the shape.

There should be at least 60cm to 90cm of clear space around the bed to allow energy to circulate properly. If the bed is too close to the wall, the chi flow will be bloc d.

Feng Shui places the greatest emphasis on the command position. This means that the bed should be placed where the person sleeping can clearly see the door, but the bed should not be directly in line with the door.

The best position is to have the bed in a diagonal corner, where the door is visible, but not directly in front of the door. This gives a person a subconscious sense of security, which is essential for good sleep.

If your bedroom measures 12 feet x 10 feet, the bed is usually placed in the left corner along the north wall, which maintains a safe distance from the door and provides a command position. A standard queen size bed requires a space of 6 feet x 5 feet.

Bed Placement

The bed should never be placed directly under the window, as it creates a lack of support and energy also gets lost through the window.

The bed's headboard should always be placed against a solid wall; it symbolizes stability and support. A headboard on the north wall is considered best for career growth. If you don't already have a headboard, installing a solid wooden headboard is best.

A mirror should not be placed directly in front of the bed, as Feng Shui believes this doubles the energy, which can disturb sleep and increase anxiety. If a mirror is in the room, it should be covered at night.

In a bedroom with an attached bathroom or in front of the bathroom door, the bed should never be placed in line with the bathroom door, because negative energy from the bathroom enters the bedroom.

There should not be any exposed beam above the bed, especially in the NE (North east) corner, because sleeping under a beam creates pressure energy.

Room Layout Design

A typical Filipino small bedroom 12ft x 10ft (120 sq.ft) might have a layout li this Place the bed diagonally in the northwest corner of the room, with the headboard against the north wall, so that the door provides a command position.

Leave at least 1.5 feet to 2 feet of walking space on both sides of the bed, and place two side tables. Place the wardrobe on the wall closest to the door, so that it does not block the energy flow of the entrance and is not directly in front of the bed.

A standard 2 door wardrobe requires approximately 2.3ft x 4.6ft (0.7m x 1.4m) of space. Place the dresser and study table near the south wall, where there is good natural light from the window, but it should not be directly in front of the bed.

Colors Feng Shui Bedroom Me Role

Warm and earthy colors are already popular in Filipino traditional homes, which are also perfect for Feng Shui. The best colors for the bedroom are soft cream, light beige, muted green, and soft blue tones, as these colors give off a calming and relaxing energy.

Red, bright orange or very dark colors should be avoided in the bedroom because they increase the energy level which is not good for sleep.

Furniture Materials And Cost Detail

Solid wooden bed frames, made of narra or mahogany wood, cost approximately ₱8,000 to ₱18,000 for a queen size (6ft x 5ft). These are best from a Feng Shui perspective because metal bed frames are avoided, as they have sharp edges that create negative energy.

Bagua Zones and Cures

In Feng Shui, rooms are divided into nine Bagua zones, which determine what should be placed in each corner. A crystal for love and relationships can be placed in the SW corner of the bedroom, and a lucky plant for health in the E corner. The N corner (career) should be pt clutter free to prevent blocks to growth energy.

A good crystal (rose quartz or amethyst) can be found at local shops for approximately ₱300 to ₱800, and a lucky plant li a peace lily or sna plant can be found at a nursery for ₱300 to ₱800. However, too many plants should not be pt in the bedroom, as excess can disturb the wood element energy.

Nowadays, every bedroom has a TV, laptop, or mobile charger, but according to Feng Shui, electronics should be pt as far away from the bed as possible. If the TV is in the bedroom, position it so that it is not directly in front of the bed, and it should be switched off before bedtime.
