Thinking about the optimal organization of the bedroom spaces in a
Feng shui key,
the ancient Taoist geomantic art that also finds some concrete scientific evidence.
Feng shui in the bedroom: symmetry, order, minimal furniture and cleanliness.
According to ancient Chinese philosophy, the position of each object can influence the experience lived at home, including the bedroom;
this, in particular, should be considered as a "sanctuary", a place of peace to rest and find balance.
For this reason, according to Feng shui, this space should be as clean and tidy as possible and be characterized by a minimal and symmetrical design, to convey a sense of serenity and relaxation.
Both Feng shui and science believe that when it comes to the correct positioning of furnishing accessories, it is important to be able to see the entrance door from the bed, without it being directly in front of the bed, allowing you to control who enters the room without being seen at first glance.
This disposition favors a feeling of psychological protection and safety, which predisposes to relaxation and therefore to a faster falling asleep.
Furthermore, the quantity of objects present in space and the order play a fundamental role, as the human brain constantly processes information through the senses.
Consequently, the more complex the perception, the more time, effort and attention is required of the mind, subjecting it to an unnecessary state of stress.
Finally, both neuroscience and oriental philosophy underline the importance of keeping the bedroom free of electronic devices, since devices prevent the maximum level of darkness in the room from being reached and can increase problems during the night's rest.

Feng shui and science: 10 strategic tips for decorating the bedroom
According to Dr Verena Senn, neurobiologist and head of sleep research at Emma - The Sleep Company, Feng shui and science find alignment on some golden rules that can really have effects benefits on body and mind, helping people to live their daily lives with greater vigor, channeling positive energy to better face their days.
But what are they?
1. The correct arrangement of the bed: it is ideal to place it not too close to the window, to rest away from any external noise and to avoid drafts if you want to open the windows.
2. Never again without a bedside table: it is important to always provide this piece of furniture in order to have a lamp, a glass of water or any other small useful objects next to you.
3. More interior light points: it is better not to concentrate all the light sources in a single point, but rather distribute them around the room to create a soft and more pleasant atmosphere.
4. Quality curtains: it is advisable to carefully evaluate the fabrics and the manufacture of the curtains so that they are really able to retain the external light, correctly supporting the night's rest.
5. Zero device: it is essential to keep away from the bedroom everything that is not essential for sleep, but rather can affect its quality, such as TVs, tablets and smart phones.
6. No to mirrors: Often people who have sleep disorders tend to check their face first thing in the morning, focusing on wrinkles and details resulting from the sleepless night.
Such an attitude can cause an increase in anxiety and stress levels.
7. Go ahead for pillows and duvets: it's a good idea to surround yourself with anything that promotes a welcoming environment and allows you to feel pampered and safe in your own space.
8. A cheerful image: opting for a photo, a painting or a poster that makes you smile and carefree, can help you wake up happier.
9. No to the desk: it is important to use the bedroom only for sleeping, for this reason there should not be an office area, especially if you have a stressful job.
This rule allows you to educate the mind to relax and not to mull over the events of the day.
10. Outside sunlight: being the best biological clock synchronizer, it is strategic to think about having windows on one side of the bed.
Otherwise, if the window were behind the bed, it would not be possible to fully benefit from the sun;
while, if it were in front of the bed, the light could strain the eyes in the morning, disturbing the awakening.
