You’ve probably heard of feng shui, the Chinese system for arrangement and placement of furniture in a room. It’s often used in businesses and homes as a way to create positive energy in your environment. Even if you’ve never used Chinese feng shui in your own space, why not consider it for your baby’s room? Feng shui is now making its way into the nursery, and for good reason, too. Feng Shui proposes that by arranging and aligning the room correctly, energy will flow better in the room. Energy flow that is positive is great for persons of any age, including a baby.

To maximize the energy in baby’s room, there are several important factors to consider, such as room location, safety, colors, and furniture arrangement. Using feng shui items in the nursery will help to make babies less fussy, who will feel more comfortable in their surroundings, and who will be healthy and flourish. How does it become accomplished? Following some basic considerations will help both baby and parents create a room that makes them both happy.

First of all, put the baby’s room in a good location. A new baby should not have a bedroom that is placed over a garage area or some other kind of empty space below. The bedroom also shouldn’t be located where there is excessive noise that might keep the baby from sleeping, such as close to a living room where the TV is on, or close to a noisy street or neighbor.

The bed shouldn’t be directly in line with the door or against a window. Make sure the baby does not sleep or is placed against a slanted wall. Avoid placing the baby against a wall that is shared with a bathroom, toilet, storage, or utility-type room. Create good, but soft energy and movement, with mobiles hung close to a window to move gently in the breeze and keep soft music playing in the room.

The baby’s nursery should always be clutter free. Nothing at all should be underneath the crib. Not many things should be in line with the walls, keep it basic. Each night, the dirty diapers should be taken out so a clean, fresh smell circulates the room. Ensuring clean air all day long will require the use of an air filter.
