Important Watch the Video Before You Sleep Tonight.
Before we dive into the blog, do take a moment to watch the YouTube video shared above — it reveals 8 surprisingly common bedroom mistakes that could be disturbing your peace, sleep, relationships, or even finances. The video is based on Vastu Shastra, the ancient Indian science that connects our physical space with our mental and spiritual state.
We often assume our bedroom is just for rest, but Vastu teaches us it’s much more. It’s the core energy zone of your home, where your body heals, your mind relaxes, and your relationships either grow stronger — or suffer silently. This post breaks down those 8 mistakes you should avoid and helps you turn your bedroom into a zone of true comfort and balance.
Your Bedroom Is Not a Storage Room
Let’s be honest. Most of us have turned our bedrooms into a mini warehouse — broken clocks, old clothes under the bed, shoes stuffed into corners, or unused gadgets lying around. According to Vastu Shastra, clutter in the bedroom builds stagnant energy. This energy makes you feel stuck, unmotivated, or even irritable without knowing why.
Sleeping above storage or sleeping in a room that looks like a storeroom sends confusing signals to your mind. You may feel mentally tired even after hours of sleep. And if your room looks dark, heavy, or blocked, the energy around you becomes dull too.
Tip: Declutter your room regularly. Avoid storage under the bed. Let the space breathe. Your sleep will feel lighter and deeper.
These Things Bring Stress, Not Sleep
One major Vastu mistake is keeping mirrors directly facing the bed. It’s said to reflect negative energy and can disturb sleep. Many people also hang photos of their ancestors, wild animals, or violent artwork in the bedroom. While these may feel meaningful, Vastu suggests they can invite emotional unrest, fear, or sadness — especially when you're in a relaxed, open state during sleep.
Electronics near the bed are another problem. Laptops, phones, TV — all release electromagnetic waves that interfere with your rest and even your relationship energy. The bedroom should be a soft, sattvic space — not a mini office or entertainment zone.
Tip: Keep only calming visuals in your bedroom — nature, love, or peaceful abstract art. Remove mirrors that face the bed and reduce gadgets near your headspace while sleeping.
Peaceful Space = Peaceful Life
Your bedroom energy affects your thoughts. And your thoughts affect your health, decisions, and relationships. That’s why Vastu gives so much importance to direction, color, placement, and cleanliness in this space.
One more mistake people make is using red or black as dominant colors. These increase fiery energy, which may lead to anger, restlessness, or heated arguments between couples. Also, avoid sharp objects like scissors or knives lying around openly. They cut through energy and can create tension in the air.
Tip: Use soft colors like light pink, cream, sky blue, or earthy tones. Keep a small bowl of sea salt in the corner to absorb negativity. Change it weekly.
Bottom line
Small changes can bring big shifts. These 8 bedroom mistakes are easy to fix once you notice them. Whether you believe deeply in Vastu or not, the goal is simple — create a space where your body and soul feel safe, light, and loved.
Try one tip today. Remove one object that doesn't belong in your bedroom. Slowly, you’ll feel the difference not just in how you sleep, but in how you feel throughout the day.
