Your bedroom should be a sanctuary—a place to recharge and find peace. But often, we unknowingly fill it with items that disrupt its energy.
According to Feng Shui principles and similar traditions, certain objects can block abundance and even invite misfortune. If you want to create harmony and support prosperity in your home, avoid keeping these 8 things in your bedroom.
1) Clothes You No Longer Wear
Old clothes that are just taking up space. Take some time to go through your closet and drawers. If you haven’t worn something in over a year, it’s time to let it go. If the item is still in good shape, donate it so someone else can make use of it. A great method is to hang your clothes with the hangers facing backward at the start of the year. By year’s end, anything still facing the wrong way hasn’t been worn and is ready to go.
It’s easy for clothing to accumulate, especially with changing styles or body sizes. But holding onto garments that never see the light of day traps stagnant energy. Overflowing drawers and bursting closets send the message that there’s no space for anything new—like you’re clinging to the past.
Letting go of outdated clothing clears energetic space for growth and transformation. Just as you create room for new outfits, you also create space in your life for fresh opportunities and experiences.
So declutter those unworn items. Offer thanks for their time in your life, and pass them along to someone in need.
To welcome abundance: Treat your wardrobe like a magnet for prosperity. Keep it open, light, and inviting, and let good fortune flow through.
2) Books Collecting Dust
Old books you’re never going to read again? They’re number three on the list. Books hold powerful energy from the knowledge and ideas they contain. When they sit untouched and forgotten, that energy becomes stale.
Think of each book as a stream of thoughts and inspiration. When that stream stops moving, it becomes murky and stagnant.
Holding onto books you’ll never pick up again clogs your mental space and blocks the flow of new information. Donating or gifting them keeps your energy—and your bookshelf—circulating. Let your shelf be a reflection of current curiosity, not past moments you’ve already moved on from.
This also includes e-books and online courses you never opened. Clearing them from your devices lifts that lingering mental weight.
I recently passed along my copy of Think and Grow Rich. Once it was gone, space opened up for Feeling Is The Secret by Neville Goddard. Your books should help you grow—not gather dust.
To invite prosperity: Clear out the old to welcome new ideas, mentors, and inspiration into your life.
3) Expired or Neglected Beauty Products
Outdated skincare, makeup, and hair products. Check your beauty stash and toss anything that’s expired or unused. These products not only collect bacteria over time, but they also carry stale energy that can leave you feeling stuck.
Just like food, beauty products have a shelf life. Using them past that point can transfer their dull energy to your body and your mindset.
Holding onto expired items may also signal a lack of self-worth—like you’re settling for less than what truly nourishes you.
By clearing out what’s old, you open up room for new and revitalizing products. This act tells the universe you value yourself enough to care with intention.
Fresh, quality products enhance your outer glow and, in turn, attract positivity and admiration.
To avoid scarcity: Toss anything past its prime. Let your self-care routine reflect your worth.
4) Damaged or Worn Shoes
Next: shoes that have seen better days. Your shoes quite literally carry you forward, so make sure they support you energetically as well.
Worn-out soles or fraying fabric weigh you down. They send a message that you’re not being fully supported or valued—by yourself or the world.
Sturdy, clean, and comfortable shoes lift you up. They signal readiness to move forward with confidence.
If a beloved pair just needs repair, go for it. But if they’re truly past saving, it’s time for a new chapter.
To embrace abundance: Clear out the broken pairs and welcome shoes that help you step into success.
5) Lonely Earrings and Empty Boxes
Incomplete accessories and empty containers. These items create subtle feelings of incompletion and lack.
Take a look around. Are there single earrings without their mate? Jewelry boxes with nothing inside? Shoe boxes for shoes that no longer exist?
Keeping empty and unmatched items in your room suggests an energy of longing and scarcity. The universe is drawn to fill voids, but holding on to them intentionally just reinforces what’s missing.
To promote abundance: Remove anything incomplete and choose to fill your space only with whole, cherished items that make you feel complete.
6) Torn or Threadbare Bedding
Worn blankets, torn sheets, and faded comforters. Your bedding is what you wrap yourself in every night—why let it be anything less than abundant?
You spend hours resting and dreaming in these fabrics. When they’re frayed or thin, they carry the energy of lack directly into your subconscious.
Upgrading your bedding—even gradually—sends a message to your soul that you deserve comfort, care, and luxury.
To shift your energy: Invest in bedding that feels good. Let every night’s sleep be a declaration of your self-worth.
7) Broken Items and General Clutter
Get rid of broken, outdated, or useless stuff. That includes non-working electronics, expired products, bills you’ve already dealt with, knickknacks that no longer spark joy, and furniture that only takes up space.
Your bedroom should be a place of calm, not chaos. Physical clutter reflects mental clutter—and both block your ability to manifest what you want in life.
Anything that no longer serves you is holding up energetic space that could be used for growth and prosperity. Old cords, expired sprays, or furniture you never use only contribute to a heavy, stagnant environment.
To create flow: Do a complete sweep of your room. Keep only what is useful, beautiful, and aligned with your present self.
8) Unused Hangers and Idle Hooks
Finally, those extra hangers and empty hooks? They’re subtle signs of stagnation.
Unused storage spaces suggest a lack of movement, of purpose. Hangers are meant to hold something, just as you’re meant to fulfill your role in the world.
Letting go of what’s not serving a purpose clears space for new things to arrive.
To invite opportunity: Clear away what’s idle. Give new energy a place to land.
Why These Things Matter
It might not seem like a stack of old books or an empty box could affect your life. But everything in your space carries energy—and your bedroom is where you rest, dream, and recover.
Cluttered, broken, or outdated items carry low, heavy energy that can hold you back emotionally, mentally, and even financially. Over time, that can manifest as lack—in money, health, or motivation.
Just like blocked roads stop traffic, energetic blockages slow abundance from reaching you. And environments thick with stagnant energy make it harder for healing or success to enter.
Clear space equals clear flow—of wellness, creativity, and prosperity.
Final Thoughts
Let me know in the comments if you need help keeping your bedroom clear and aligned. These shifts won’t make you rich overnight, but they absolutely help reshape your mindset and energy. Real financial growth still depends on evolving your skills, mindset, and habits.
What these changes can do is elevate your current experience, wherever you’re starting from. Whether you’re just getting by or already thriving, a clear and energetically aligned bedroom will always support your journey to greater abundance.
Clearing the old makes space for what’s new. And that’s where change begins.
