Water is one of the five basic elements that have an affect on your chi flow, negative or positive. When you design a bedroom based on feng shui principles, it is vital to make sure that each of these elements is adequately represented in order to maximize the bedroom’s potential. There are a few fun and creative ways to make sure that water is characterized in some way in your bedroom.
Aquarium Method
An aquarium is one of the easiest ways of representing water in any room, including the bedroom, and they are a beautiful addition to the room itself. The sound of the filter is very soothing, and watching fish swim is a great way to relax your mind and de-stress after a long day at work. The size of the aquarium dictates the expense involved, and the larger or fancier the aquarium, the more you will have to pay for it.
A simple aquarium with a few fish should not cost more than about $50, depending on the type of fish that you choose. Pay careful attention to what kind of fish normally cohabitate to avoid a disaster later, and make sure that you have the right environment for each fish; such as keeping saltwater fish out of a fresh water tank. Feeding fish and keeping the tank clean is not nearly as much work as you might imagine, and often requires just a few minutes each day to feed and a little more work two or three times a month to keep the tank clean.
Pictures of Water
This is often the easiest way to use the water element in your bedroom, and likely the option that is best for those who do not want to have to deal with an aquarium. A beautiful picture that features a water scene, such as a lighthouse, beach, or river, can be a great way to be sure that all of the positive characteristics of water are maximized in your bedroom with little expense and almost no hassle. Simply hang the picture, and keep it dusted.
Pictures of fish can also represent water, and these may be very inexpensive but still a very attractive way of representing water in your bedroom. Pictures that feature waves or wavy shapes are a similar idea, and are available at many retailers worldwide. There are many trendy geometric prints and watercolors that are a great option for those looking for a water feature in their bedroom.
Waterfall Features
Finally, another simple and relaxing method of featuring water is by using an attractive water feature, such as a working waterfall. Often costing just $20 or less, you can get a great water feature at most stores that sell home decor, and they use very little water on average. The larger the fountain, the higher the cost in most cases, but it is well worth it for the beauty and relaxation that this type of water feature brings to your bedroom.
