When getting to grips with a bedroom''s decor, people ought to take the ancient art of feng shui into account if they''re to get the most out of their surroundings, it has been said.

That''s the opinion of Nina Yun anyway, who said for CTW Features that such a practice can really give people an added level of energy to the likes of the bedroom, most notably the bed itself.

The one thing people should prioritise over everything else is the use of colour, she explained, highlighting how strong or bold colours really need to be avoided.

Ms Yun continued: "Most people want romance in the bedroom and red is the associated colour, but don''t paint your bedroom walls red.

It''s overkill. Most people can''t sleep." This is because a bedroom needs to feel relaxing and calming, though the use of colours through accents in rugs, bed linen and pillows is acceptable, she suggested.

Another different approach to the bedroom was one adopted by Shelton Jaffie, a man who told the Morning Call about his decision to take a chainsaw to his memory foam mattress in order to share the wealth with his step-daughter.
