How is the vibe in your bedroom? What to keep out of there...

Is your bedroom a sanctuary or a mess?

Setting the right atmosphere in there can make a big difference in your life and in your relationship. Here are some bedroom dos and don’ts:

The TV, computer and exercise equipment have to go. Couples who have TVs and computers in the bedroom have less intimacy. Exercise equipment is not romantic and can be distracting, especially if it’s used to hang wet towels or dirty clothes.

Moving water is another don’t. Whether it’s a leaky faucet or a cute fountain, moving water creates yang energy and your bedroom is supposed to be yin.

While you’re packing up the exercise equipment and fountain, throw the family photos in there too. Family and friends don’t belong in your bedroom.

Now you’ve made room for the bedroom dos. A happy photo of the couple is fine. You’ll also want to be sure it’s a bedroom for two. That means matching bedside tables and lamps. Keeping bedroom elements equally comfortable and balanced for both people creates a sense of harmony.
