As you know, a person spends the third part of his life in a dream. During this period, there is a renewal and purification of the body, restoration of strength and energy. Proper arrangement of the bedroom contributes to a good rest, restoration of working capacity, and also charges you with a good mood after waking up. In this regard, each person seeks to competently choose the interior of the bedroom, as well as create a harmonious microclimate in it. An important role in this matter is the arrangement of the interior in Feng Shui.
What color to decorate the bedroom
According to ancient science, the most peaceful zone in an apartment is suitable for a bedroom . At the same time, it should be removed from the bath, toilet and kitchen. The shape of the room should be square or rectangular. Depending on the location, the color of the bedroom in Feng Shui may vary.
If the bedroom has a northern orientation, the wallpaper and home decoration should have a blue tint. In a southerly direction, red should prevail in the room. With a western orientation, the color of the bedroom in Feng Shui has all shades of white or silver. For oriental rooms, green design colors are suitable.
The ancient Chinese rule teaches that only people should be in the rest room. Therefore, Feng Shui categorically forbids placing flowers in the bedroom. Photographs of plants are also highly undesirable in the room where the person is sleeping. It is believed that they take energy from a vacationer.
It is also believed that potted flowers in the interior of the bedroom steal air. This is primarily due to the fact that they absorb oxygen at night, while absorbing carbon dioxide.
In reality, things are not so critical. First of all, any plants are producers of oxygen, which is released through photosynthesis in the daytime. At night, this process is suspended, but the flowers continue to breathe. However, the amount of oxygen absorbed by the flowers is so insignificant that in order to cause harm to human health it will be necessary to collect 10,000 kilograms of greenery in one room.
How to choose flowers for the bedroom
The presence of green pets in the bedroom certainly helps to relieve stress and relax after a hard day. In this regard, in the relaxation room, it is necessary to arrange several plants that are suitable for the conditions of detention. In a small room, gloxinia, violet, cyclamen, as well as begonia will look very harmonious. You should not strive for a variety of colors and species, since the abundance of variegated flowers and piling up of pots will bother and annoy. You should consider this moment when you choose indoor flowers.
In spacious and large bedrooms, large specimens fit perfectly into the interior, such as dracaena, eucharis, ficus. Palm-shaped species - Livistona, Washington, Yucca - will add an exotic touch to your interior.
Air Purpose Records
Every day, in addition to polluted air on the street, we are exposed to harmful substances in our homes. These are various fumes emitted by synthetic materials: furniture components, floor and wall coverings. These include formaldehydes, benzenes, toluene and others. Indoor flowers do an excellent job with these enemies . The names of the champions of air purification have long been heard by everyone: chlorophytum, spathiphyllum, tradescantium. These “conditioners” not only save us from the harmful effects of chemicals, but also can cope with tobacco smoke in a short time. Spathiphyllum is also popularly called "female happiness", since it is believed that this plant will bring love, harmony and mutual understanding to the house.
You should take into account the fact that these flowers must be washed or wiped periodically with a damp cloth, since dust, which seems invisible, settles on the leaves and interferes with air exchange.
Healing Plants
The following flowers for the bedroom are suitable for people with weak immunity and often suffering from colds, aloe, sansevieria, Kalanchoe, geranium. They tend to release phytoncides into the air, which fight against the multiplication of various bacteria and viruses. It’s not in vain that our grandmothers loved geranium: it contains essential oil that normalizes sleep, repels insects, alleviates headaches, reduces tension, and also helps get rid of depressive disorders and fatigue. Scarlet has long been known for its wound healing properties. However, they are possessed only by adult specimens that have reached the age of 2-3 years, therefore there is no sense in young planes from young shoots. But for the content in the bedroom, scarlet is suitable at any age.
Citrus Exotics
Citrus plants have similar bactericidal properties, which are now in abundance in stores. These include lemon, mandarin, citron, grapefruit, orange tree. A wonderful aroma comes from both flowers and leaves. The smell that exudes the peel of the ripening fruit has a calming effect. The only drawback of these tropical guests is their demand for a cool wintering. It is advisable to send them to the balcony, which is heated with the onset of cold weather. The optimum temperature for wintering citrus fruits is from +2 to +6 degrees. Those who still decide to place these plants in the bedroom in the warm season, should remember: the chlorine content in the soil is extremely undesirable for them. In this regard, water must be carefully prepared before irrigation. Citrus fruits are very grateful for spraying the leaves. With proper care, they will not only clean the air and rid of odors, but they will also saturate it with oxygen, destroying harmful bacteria.
What flowers are better for a bedroom with sleep disorders? Of course, this is potted lavender, rosemary and laurel. These wonderful plants release essential oils into the air that help eliminate anxiety and stress, helping to relax and fall asleep quickly. At present, potted species of such plants at affordable prices have appeared on the shelves of flower shops. However, their life in indoor conditions is short-lived, as they are very demanding in care.
Helper Plants in Dry Air
During the heating season, insomnia may occur due to overdried air in the room. In this case, indoor flowers are suitable , the names of which are quite common: these are monstera, hibiscus, cyperus. The first two plants have wide leaves through which moisture enters the air. Tsiperus is a swamp plant that loves plentiful watering. Through the roots, it absorbs a large amount of water, which after a while evaporates from the flower.
Of course, the best flowers for the bedroom are those that the hostess liked the most. Nevertheless, it is better to avoid some plants, because in some cases they have a negative effect on our body.
Unwanted green people in the bedroom
When choosing flowers for a bedroom, it should be noted that plants with a pronounced smell can cause headaches, nausea, and even vomiting. The "odorous" flowers include hyacinth, lilies, gardenias. Bad neighbors for a sleeping person are freshly cut lilies of the valley, lilac, jasmine. There is no place in the room for sleeping also to plants that provoke an exacerbation of allergies: flowering oleander, alocasia, ferns. Their appearance in the bedroom of people suffering from cardiovascular diseases and asthma is not strongly recommended. Some plants release characteristic fumes into the air, some of which are toxic. These include flowers of the euphorbia family.
What plants will fit into the bedroom interior
For those people who are more concerned about the design of the bedroom, a variety of types of plants are suitable. Before you start any flower, you need to solve the problem with the right lighting. With a lack of light, any green resident will suffer and not only not decorate the interior, but also leave an unpleasant impression. Therefore, before placing this or that plant in the bedroom, one should take into account the peculiarities of care: temperature, content, air humidity, frequency of watering and spraying.
What flowers harmoniously match the color of the wallpaper
If the bedroom has colorful or multi-colored wallpapers, a flower with large green leaves will harmoniously look. On the contrary, if the walls are painted in a plain color, a plant with colorful leaves is suitable. It should be borne in mind that such species are more photophilous, they should be placed closer to the windowsills. Flowering plants will be very appropriate.
Thus, plants in the bedroom contribute to relaxation and stress relief. They purify and moisturize the air, allow you to enjoy a strong and pleasant sleep.
