It’s back to college and university for lots of young people and excitement and anxiety levels are high. So whether you have a young person still at home or nesting elsewhere, these tips for student rooms can help balance a room and work to support health and wellbeing. Ironically these are often the opposite of what you find in the average teen bedroom!
Tips for Student Rooms
- If you can position the bed so that the head of the bed is not in line with the door, you provide a calmer sleeping environment. (This is tricky in standard student accommodation where the space is tight but it’s definitely worth a try.) Likewise if the bed is against a window, then it needs a headboard. Having a place to sleep when your head isn’t bombarded by energy from the door or window will be beneficial.
- Don’t have shelves or heavy pictures above the head of the bed. These create too much pressure and can increase stress or headaches. You shouldn’t have anything heavier than a poster above the bed.
- Try to avoid having “yin” images – skulls, prayer flags, pictures of people who are no longer alive etc, in the room. These disrupt the energy of sleep. Also lots of dark colours mean the energy gets too stagnant.
- Conversely avoid anything too aggressive such as posters of combat (eg computer games or films) or anything with weapons. The excess “yang” energy can harm the calm energy needed for sleep.
- Open the curtains daily! This lets in the fresh energy and helps to keep the chi strong enough to support the occupant.
Of course it makes a big difference it the room is tidy – less chaos will impact the energy of the room as well as the person but let’s be honest, it may be overambitious!
