Get A Queen or Full Size Bed

If you haven’t already upgraded from a twin bed, the time is now. Investing in a full or queen size bed is the first step to creating your Feng Shui bedroom. A bigger bed will allow you to have more room to sleep comfortably.

Some sources even say that keeping the door closed while you sleep can help promote good health and healthier relationships.
