10 Feng Shui Tips for your Kid's Room

Can feng shui help us achieve our dream for the best possible future for our kids?

To answer the question, we called on Master Goh Guan Leong from the WayOnNet group. Master Goh Guan Leong has many years of experience in feng shui and Life Analysis. He is also the author of several publications such as 'Essentials of Four Pillars of Destiny'.

In this gallery, he shares the most effective and useful feng shui tips for creating a conducive environment for your kids. By doing so, you can boost their development and prepare them for every phase of their growth.

1. Selection of suitable & auspicious colours for your child

Color influences how we respond to situations physically and psychologically. It has the power to affect our mood and the feel of a room. So, how do we select the ‘right’ colour to match the needs of our kids? As a rule of thumb, the birth month can be used as an effective guide.

Pink, red, purple and orange are auspicious colours for the months of November, December, January, February, March and April. Blue and black are auspicious colours for the months of May, June, July, August, September and October.

2. The importance of bed placement

A well-balanced bed is very important in providing the kids with a good sense of security. As for the position of the bed, avoid placing it directly under the beam, directly facing the air-conditioner or in a direct line with the door or toilet. It would also be good if the bed can have a good supporting wall behind it.

3. Ensure smooth circulation of air in the room

Feng shui emphasizes the importance of the flow of ‘Qi’ (i.e air circulation). Therefore, be mindful of the quality of air in the bedroom. Open the windows often to keep the air fresh and full of oxygen.

4. Keep the kids’ bedroom clean and neat

This is another way of allowing the clean air to circulate within the bedroom.

5. Preferably, let your kid’s room be an electronics-free zone

The bedroom is a place for your kids to relax and rest. Electronic items (such as the television, computer, etc.) disrupt the flow of ‘Qi’ and will affect your child’s quality of sleep. It’s best to remove all unnecessary electronic items from the kids’ bedroom.

6. Avoid placing sharp-pointed decorative items & toys (such as a sword) in your child’s room

Avoid placing any scary objects in the room. These will make a child feel insecure or unsafe in his or her own bedroom.

7. Display items of special recognition and those that signify your family’s love

It is a good idea to display items such as drawings, family photos, awards and trophies in your child’s room.

8. Design the bedroom according to your child's needs

If your kid gets distracted easily or has special needs, keep the design of the bedroom as simple as possible. Avoid wallpaper that has wild, chaotic patterns. Also, avoid placing the study table in such a way that he or she can see movement outside the bedroom.

9. Selecting the correct 'Academic Position' for the study desk

In the ancient science of feng shui, 'Academic Position' is a place that can enhance concentration, thus, help your kids study well.

It is really easy to identify the best Academic Position. Just use the last digit of your child’s birth year (Eg. 2001 and 2011 ends with 1) to find the Academic Position immediately.

You can expect better academic results by placing the study table in the sectors mentioned below.

1 –north, 2 – northeast, 3 – east, 4 – southeast, 5 – south, 6 – southwest, 7 – west, 8 – southwest, 9 – west, 0 – northwest.

10. Select suitable essential oils or an aromatherapy diffuser for your kid's room.

The right aromatherapy oils can have a positive impact on your child.
