I’m new to feng shui, so sorry for the beginner question. I’m looking to paint my bedroom, and have been doing my research, but I’m still confused. Here’s some background information:
My gua number is 6 (1985), the front door of the house points NE, and the house was built in 1989. If it makes a difference, the house is on a cul-de-sac, which I don’t think is the best for energy flow.
My room falls in the upper-left corner of the bagua map. Currently all the walls are white, tan carpet, with the hallways of the house having brown hardwood floor. The roof of the house has red tile and receives a lot of sun, so I believe that’s creating a lot of yang energy.
The only direction I can place my bed is SE, which for me is the Huo Hai (mishaps) direction.
I’m thinking about painting the SE wall a darker shade of red with the rest of the walls either a stone gray or a taupe color. I red somewhere that painting certain walls can attract spirits, but I haven’t been able to find much information about this. My furniture is currently dark brown wood, but I can change the color if needed.
Am I looking at the right colors? If not, what colors should I consider? I read that you should use earth colors for the bedroom, but I’m confused because I’m not sure how my element color would affect this. Can someone please shed some light on this for me? I’m trying to learn all I can and would appreciate all the help I can get.
i see that you know 8 mansions method. but it just seems that you dont know other methods such as flying stars, which is more useful than 8 mansions (east-west).
forget about colors, they are irrelevant as far as fengshui is concerned.
and yes, having a house in a cul de sac is nt a good idea.
i dont really believe in remedies. becaue in fengshui there is no such thing as a bad thing remedied into a good thing. it is always bad thing made dormant, until the right time comes, and the bad thing will still happen whether you have the remedy in place ot not.
regarding the main door facing to northeast, which in fengshui is subdivided into 3 parts. ne1 has its own flying star chart, while ne2 and ne3 have the same chart (different from ne1).
ne1:
the best part to have your bedroom is the northeast part, because it has a 141 combination. (in flying stars method, numbers are used to represent energies to make analysis easier). secnd good location is the center of the house (417).
ne2 and ne3:
west of the house: 689, good for business (not bec of 8 mansions that this is also your success direction, but bec of 68 - which is success on property business); sw:144, good for love, again not because of 8 mansions, 14 = love, education.
i dont know why people are so focused with bedrooms. the thing in fengshui is that you need your house to have at least 70% have good fengshui, or you its goodness wont be effective. the other thing is that the bedroom is for health. then the kitchen or the position and facing of the stove is for your financial well being; it also attracts wealth into your life.
facing a bed is not really critical in fengshui. so we usually use 8 mansions method just to enhance other methods like flying stars.
