Question: Is it true that a painting, as well as a chandelier above the bed, can be bad?

Answer: Very good question. First, everything in your bedroom affects your love life, as you need beautiful, vibrant, as well as harmonious space for the sexual energy to keep flowing and not get blocked over time.

Second, a chandelier, as well as any light fixture placed directly above the bed, is never a good idea. Please note that this rule applies only to a chandelier placed directly above the bed, not generally to a chandelier in the bedroom. The painting can have a negative influence only if it carries negative or inappropriate energy for a bedroom (ie. lonely images, aggressive, or sad, very dark color combinations, etc)

Trust your inner responses when you choose bedroom decor elements and don't forget to ask for your body's feedback, as ultimately, the bedroom is the only space where your body can fully replenish and recharge from daily stress, as well as open up to a deep level of intimacy with another human being.
