Over three thousand years ago the Chinese developed Feng Shui with good harvests and prosperity in mind. Feng Shui translates and Wind Water, both elements were needed for a prosperous harvest. We have adapted the ancient art into modern interior design to help us redress any imbalance in our lives. The bedroom, especially the duvet cover, is an important area in which Feng Shui can be used. How we go to sleep and wake up affects us throughout the night and day, this is why it is so vital.

You should focus on your bed above all else as this will be your cocoon of relaxation and healing. Do not neglect the walls, the colours and any views from your bedroom either.

In Feng Shui there are two types of colours; Yin and Yang. Calmness and relaxation are inspired by Yin colours. Yang colours on the other hand inspire passion and enthusiasm, a burst of energy.

We can be soothed and feel mentally healed when surrounded by blue. 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 prominent yang colour which can help you have higher levels of concentration and become more organised, especially useful if you have something you want to achieve. Yellow is more to do with you as a social being, making you friendlier.

You need to match your duvet cover to your Feng Shui needs. Choosing a yang coloured duvet cover will make you feel more energised in the morning and ready to face society. For those of you that have enough energy in the morning and too much on a night time, a blue duvet cover will help you to relax before bed.
