Your newborn spends hours in her nursery. Elisa chia finds out how to plan the space better, with fengshui tips that may enhance her well-being.
So you’ve bought the perfect cot and changing table for Baby’s room. Don’t just stop there – it’s important to put some thought into the decor and layout of the nursery, as well.
At least, that’s what fengshui practitioners recommend. They believe that by arranging the nursery according to Chinese metaphysical principles, qi or energy will flow more smoothly.
To create a harmonious environment, you might want to get an expert to read your little one’s ba zi (eight characters derived from the date and time of birth). That will provide a more accurate and detailed reading.
Here, master Goh Guan Leong from Way Fengshui Group shares general advice on how to design the space.
Know your baby’s lucky colour
Her birth month is a useful general guide.
If your baby is born in November, December or January, use bright pink, red, purple and orange. Add only dashes of these bold hues to white walls, not the entire room, so she won’t be overstimulated.
If she is born in February, March or April, her auspicious colours are white, grey and gold.
