Harmony at Home
Feng Shui in Children's Rooms By Tracy B. McGinnis
Weber also suggests bringing down the volume on toys and quieting down the room by getting control of clutter and color. Weber recommends yellows, beiges and taupe colors, and ceilings should always be white.
Weber says using feng shui techniques does not require hiring an expert. "By using a compass and finding the north section of your room you can create a diagram that will help you determine where to position each element," she says.
"The most important thing is to not look at it as a burden because it involves change," Pardon says. "It should be approached as an opportunity to better your life. The changes are usually minimal, as in our case where we moved Christina's bed to the northeast, changed the color of her room from purple to yellow, kept the bathroom door closed and added a plant and wind chime."
Within three weeks of implementing the changes, Christina made two new friends at school, kids stopped making fun of her and fights between her and her brother dissipated. "She is happier and more confident than I have seen her in a long time," Pardon says.
