China is the home of Feng Shui and the ancient art was created over 3000 years ago. Feng Shui translates and Wind Water, both elements were needed for a prosperous harvest. Modern interior design uses the mysterious art to redress any imbalances in our own lives. The bedroom is one of the principal rooms in the home that Feng Shui can be applied to, and the duvet cover should be focused on. It affects us as the room in which we fall asleep and wake up, ending and beginning our day.

The bed should be your prime focus as this is the main piece of furniture in the room and will be integral to your life balance. Do not neglect the walls, the colours and any views from your bedroom either.

In Feng Shui there are yin and yang colours. Yin colours promote relaxation and clam. Alternatively, we can feel passionate and exited about life when looking at Yang colours.

Blue is a Yin colour which promotes love and healing, it can soothe us. Other yin colours include purple, black and white, which can make us more confidant. You might be able to improve your career by mixing black with metallic colours.

You will be more active and feel more passionate when you are surrounded with Yang colours. Orange is a yang colour attached to concentration, organisation and giving us a sense of purpose, especially when it comes to life or career ambitions. Yellow is associated with friendliness and society, helping you to get out into the world.

The duvet cover you choose can thus have an impact on you. If you want to feel more energised every morning, you can choose a Yang coloured duvet cover, preferable orange, so that you are passionate about the day’s possibilities. whereas you could choose a blue duvet cover if you need assistance in relaxing before you go to sleep.
