Home improvement according to the laws of Feng Shui is not just a fashion trend. This is an ancient teaching about how to make a person’s life in his home or apartment as comfortable and safe as possible. Most often, people try to create the right environment in the bedroom, living room and kitchen. Recently, the children's room has also not been deprived of attention. After all, the well-being of a child is the goal of any parent. For a comfortable stay for children, the warmest, brightest and most comfortable rooms are always allocated, and if you take into account the laws of Feng Shui, you can also make the space energetically strong. In addition, this practice offers optimal solutions for any area and conditions. We invite you to learn all the intricacies of arranging a children's room according to Feng Shui for the beneficial effects of energy flows on your baby.
The best location for a nursery according to Feng Shui
The room should be oriented towards the east or located in the eastern part of the house. The south-east direction is suitable for girls, and the east direction for boys. If there is no room for a nursery in the east, you can place the room in the children’s and creativity zone – in the west.
In China, it is believed that a very young child does not yet have his own direction and his room may be located next to the parents' bedroom, without taking into account the date of birth and Gua number. When choosing a room for teenagers, you already need to take into account the personal trigram.
The nursery should be located at a distance from the bath, toilet, hallway, kitchen and other utility rooms.
In private houses, sometimes a child is given an attic - a room under a roof with a sloping ceiling. In such a room, the normal flow of energy is disrupted, which negatively affects the health of the offspring.
If there is no other place for the child other than the attic, a well-cut rock crystal crystal should be hung under the ceiling in the center of the room. This mineral promotes uniform dispersion of energy throughout the entire room.
Optimal room shape
It is recommended to offer the child a room with a simple shape - square or close to this geometric solution. In the nursery there should be no stucco on the ceiling, ledges, niches, columns, or multi-level floors. All these architectural excesses interfere with the free flow of Qi energy.
It is advisable that the room has at least 1, and preferably 2, windows facing different sides of the world - this helps to broaden your horizons.

To create a favorable atmosphere, it is important to allow sunlight to freely penetrate into the nursery throughout the day.
Colors
The children's room should be colorful. Colors should not be too bright. It is enough for the palette to be varied. All colors for decorating the walls and floors of the room should be in their warm version.
To paint the walls, you can choose calm tones, for example, greenish, bleached apricot or blue-gray. But purple, red and gold are prohibited. These colors excite the child's nervous system. White is cold and impractical.
It is better to choose a color scheme depending on the type of temperament of your child. Slow, calm children are given brighter colors. An aggressive, easily excitable baby will become calmer in a room whose walls are painted in pastel shades.
Children under 2 years of age, regardless of gender, should see only soft, desaturated colors around them. When the child grows up, his room can be decorated in accordance with Feng Shui recommendations for boys and girls.
For boy
The optimal combination for a boy's room is a combination of neutral blue shades combined with warmer yellow. It creates a feeling of comfort and optimism. If your son is phlegmatic, you can add a little red to the interior by placing 1-2 accessories of this color.
A very light shade of purple is suitable for schoolchildren and students. This color enhances creative impulse and mental activity.
For girl
For the room, girls use warmer colors. Delicate shades of pink look beautiful - they pleasantly lull and reduce the child’s excitement. You can decorate the walls with bright drawings or hang colorful toys from the ceiling. In addition to pinkish ones, soft peach, light green or greenish-yellowish shades are suitable for a girl’s room.
Lighting
All corners in the room must be illuminated, and the light must correspond to a certain process. The optimal solution is spot lighting. So, you can put a table lamp on your desk. Near the chair in which the child likes to read is a floor reading lamp. You can install a small night light near the bed. A chandelier with the ability to adjust the intensity and color of the lighting is perfect as an overhead light.

The color of the lamps is yellow or white. Other colors of lamps can only be used for decorative lighting and in small quantities. Please note that the light must be even. Lighting pulsation can easily be detected using a smartphone camera: if you notice streaks or vibration on the screen, the lamp or lighting fixture needs to be replaced.
Furniture arrangement
A children's room is usually divided into three zones: play, study and bedroom. The first one should be placed in the southeast, preferably near the door. You can place in this zone:
- cabinets made of natural materials;
- bright and beautiful posters and landscapes;
- play sets, drawings and applications created by the child, toys;
- fishbowl;
- sports section.
It is better to organize the training area in the northwest, away from the sleeping area. Appropriate there:
- study table;
- computer.
Negative computer vibrations can be suppressed by placing a living plant on the table.
It is better to place a desk opposite the front door, but not under the window. In this zone, Qi does not linger, the child cannot concentrate. You can activate successful learning processes using symbols:
- owl and snake;
- books;
- globe;
- products made of rock crystal and amethyst;
- figurines: a sage with a disciple on a turtle, Daruma, Fukurokuju, etc.
There should be as few foreign objects as possible in the sleeping area. The bed should not be placed opposite the front door, under the window or in the center of the room. This can cause problems with falling asleep, as energy actively circulates in these places. In the teachings of Feng Shui, special attention is paid to night rest, so nothing should interfere with a restful sleep. The preferred material is wood.
You cannot select beds:
- in the form of a house or other closed structures;
- with wheels instead of legs;
- in the form of a hammock;
- with different height levels.
By placing the bed close to the wall, you will create additional energy protection for the baby. The correct location of a teenager's sleeping place can be found by calculating the Gua number.
To understand which way to place the head of the bed, watch your child. Sometimes they intuitively choose the desired sleeping position. However, you can place the bed with the head of the bed to the south, then the child will grow up with a stable psyche. Positioning your head to the east promotes sound and healthy sleep. To the north - develops intuition, to the west - improves health. Remember that sleeping with your feet facing the door is prohibited according to Feng Shui.
If it is impossible to follow certain rules, you need to use symbols that reduce the negative effect, for example, bells. Hang them in areas where stagnant energy may form.
The walls of the zones can be made in different colors:
- Gaming - bright and dynamic.
- Bedroom - in blue or light blue.
- Educational - in neutral pastels.
Where and how to arrange a play area according to Feng Shui?
If the child is not yet in school, then the second important area will be the play area. In this part, it is important to create structure and order in the storage of toys, books, and office supplies. Chaos in the play area will create chaos inside the child! And if everything is orderly, has its place, and the baby himself has access and the opportunity to create this order, then his health will be much better.
It is important to ensure that the corners of cabinets and other furniture are not directed towards the bed or study area.
Games are yang energies, they activate energy, and sleep is yin energies, they calm and relax. To ensure that your child sleeps peacefully, it is not advisable to place the play area opposite the bed. It is better to place them on the same line, separate, separate or zone these two spaces so that the child does not see the toys while lying in bed.
Where to place items on the table
Do you think the desktop is only for business papers? But no. By placing certain items on your desk, you can attract success, money and maintain relationships.
- So, an obligatory attribute of the desktop - a table lamp - must certainly be placed on the far left corner of the table - in this case, you will be provided with an influx of cash.
- In addition, it would be nice to place a metal figurine in the left corner - this also helps attract money.
- In the far right corner you should place a figurine of a loving couple - this will help maintain a balance between family and work, and maintain family relationships. The element of emotions reigns on the right.
- You can also decorate your desktop with a living plant in a pot - this is a source of yang energy necessary for fruitful activity.
- And to achieve well-being in your career - a black marble sculpture.
- And one more secret - there should always be more things on the left than on the right, because on the left the sun rises and all processes begin to develop. That is why the left side should prevail.
Common mistakes
If you think that your child is sick “too” often and is developing slowly, you may not have set up the nursery correctly.
The most common mistakes:
- There are too many bright colors in the nursery, especially in the learning area. In this case, it will be difficult for the child to concentrate; he will be constantly distracted by saturated colors. Psychologists recommend decorating a children's room in subdued pastel colors. Feng Shui experts prohibit the use of saturated shades only in the study and sleeping areas.
- A large number of Feng Shui talismans in a children's room is unjustified. These items may irritate your child.
- A bed, pillows and blankets that are too bright can make it difficult for your baby to sleep. He will be able to truly appreciate the beauty of such a sleeping place only if everything around him is gray or neutral in color.
- Poor lighting, lack of windows and artificial light sources. This can cause apathy and fatigue in the child.
- Place the bed near a wall with windows and doors. Yang energy will not allow the baby to sleep peacefully. It is recommended to move the bed to a solid, flat wall.
- TV in the children's bedroom. Many parents put it on so their children can watch cartoons before bed. Any technology has a destructive effect on the positive energy of Qi, so it is better to place the TV and other gadgets in other rooms.
- Installation of low beds is prohibited in the nursery. This is an obstacle to the favorable flow of energy; the child is not saturated with it during sleep and rest.
- Shelves, sconces and chandeliers above the bed should not be installed according to Feng Shui.
- Furniture with sharp corners is sometimes found in a children's room. In Feng Shui, pointed objects are called “secret arrows.” Energy flows lose speed and stagnation occurs.
To avoid mistakes when arranging a child’s room according to Feng Shui, it is best to contact a practitioner who can not only correctly arrange the furniture and organize each zone, but also tell you which colors and decorations in the design can harm the child.
