A person spends a lot of time in the bedroom. Some are a little more, others are less. To improve the quality of sleep, it is important to correctly set the main character of the room.
If sleep does not give you a feeling of complete rest, this may mean that the bed is not positioned correctly. Each specialist: a somnologist, a designer, a psychologist and a Feng Shui master has his own reasoned position. When arranging the sleeping area, it is important to take into account the recommendations of professionals and the parameters of the room.
General rules for installing a bed according to Feng Shui
Having at least basic knowledge of the ancient science of Feng Shui, you can already make your existence more harmonious. And we recommend starting to change your life for the better from the bedroom, because according to Eastern practice, the bed plays an extremely important role in a person’s life. Therefore, you need to install it correctly so that you wake up cheerful and rested every morning, fall asleep quickly in the evenings, do not experience an unreasonable feeling of anxiety during the day, and do not endanger your health.
And here are some simple but very effective tips from recognized Feng Shui masters, following which you will significantly improve the quality of your life.
Place the bed with the head of the bed facing the wall. This will allow you to feel protected, not only while you sleep, but also while you are awake. If this is not possible, then use a trick by moving a large chest of drawers to the headboard or dividing the bedroom space with a screen.
Under no circumstances should you place a mirror opposite or on the side of the bed, or on the ceiling, so that a sleeping person is reflected in it. Firstly, this is a bad omen, and secondly, this is unacceptable according to Feng Shui, because the mirror increases the amount of negative SHA-QI energy, which accumulates more and more over time, and leads to discord with those closest to you.
The mirror is not positioned correctly
Also, do not place the bed under huge chandeliers, beams, arches and slopes that will hang over it. All this will lead to the fact that the flows of energy circulating in space will be repelled from them, go around them, and attack the sleeper. As a result, a person may experience unconscious fears, panic attacks, and a feeling of depression.
Don't clutter the space under your bed. Air flows should circulate there unhindered. If your sleeping place is equipped with special drawers for things, then make sure that they are not filled with various unnecessary items. The maximum that can be stored in them is clean bed linen. Ideally, the shelves should be empty.
But for a quick and successful marriage, you need to abandon the idea of moving the bed with one side to the wall. Let there be free access to it both on the right and on the left. But you shouldn’t place the bed in the center of the room. Remember about the presence of mandatory support. And yes, to attract love into your life, the place to relax should be a double bed.

Choosing a bed color according to Feng Shui
In a room for night rest, feminine yin energy should predominate, helping to relieve emotional stress and relaxation. It is characterized by natural and pastel shades, such as peach, lilac, light turquoise, beige, light green, brown, gray. They should dominate the bedroom interior. Metallic tones will successfully complement the color scheme: gold, silver, copper. It is not recommended to overuse shades that carry the energy of water: blue, cyan, turquoise - they are used in additions or decorative elements.
If we talk about what a bed should be like, then you should pay attention not only to the color, but also to the material of manufacture. The ideal solution would be natural wood
It carries positive energy and helps restore strength. People belonging to the element of metal will be closer to this material, although sleeping on a wooden bed will not cause harm.

Feng Shui and recommendations for organizing space
Feng Shui helps distribute vital energy and harmonize the interior. The term translates as “wind-water”. The teaching of how to live in harmony with the outside world and oneself originated in China in the 19th century and quickly gained popularity.
The technique combines many aspects of life, including:
- astrology;
- architecture;
- psychology;
- climatology;
- geophysics, etc.
Using these disciplines, you can create a favorable environment in the room.
Choosing the best color when choosing a bedroom design according to Feng Shui
There is a widespread belief that only muted, pastel colors should prevail in the bedroom, and all other shades are not even considered. There is a lot of truth in this statement, but the main rule that Feng Shui advises you to listen to is your own feelings, as well as specific observations. Before choosing a color scheme, you need to try to answer a few simple questions:
- How quickly do you fall asleep?
- Do you get up easily or more often with difficulty?
- Do you wake up at night for unknown reasons?
- How good do you feel when you wake up?
The design of the bedroom according to Feng Shui - Yin or Yang - depends on the answers.
Since the bed is the main piece of furniture in the bedroom, it should become a kind of center of attraction
Bedroom in Yin style
This style is optimal for people with deep sleep, who get enough sleep, fall asleep quickly and do not get up during the night from rustling noises and other reasons. This style involves the use of pastel colors in the color of the walls and bed linen:
- peach;
- light pink;
- muted gold;
- beige.
A Yin-style bedroom is optimal for people with sound sleep, who get enough sleep, fall asleep quickly and do not get up during the night from rustling noises and other reasons.
Yang style bedroom
And this option is optimal for emotional people who sleep rather restlessly at night, toss and turn for a long time before going to bed and can wake up even from faint sounds. In this case, choose the tones:
- burgundy;
- muted reds;
- rich greens;
- blue - all shades.
NOTE
A Yang-style bedroom is optimal for emotional people who sleep rather restlessly at night, toss and turn for a long time before going to bed and can wake up even from faint sounds
Favorable directions
The question of where to sleep with your head is more complex. An individual approach is important here. Different directions cause different effects. To figure out which bed arrangement is right for you, check out the following list.
- North. Choose this direction of your head if there is a lack of calm and tranquility in your life. It is also recommended if a person is sick. The northern direction promotes recovery.
- Northeast. Suitable for indecisive people. If you find it difficult to make decisions, then place the bed so that the head of the bed faces northeast.
- East. We recommend it to those who feel a loss of strength.
- Southeast. Suitable for modest and uptight people. If you suffer from various complexes, then sleeping in this direction will help you become more self-confident.
- South. But the south promises material wealth. However, you will have to sleep alone at night.
- Southwest. This direction will help you become more practical.
- West. Attracts interesting events into life. Relevant for those who are tired of daily variety. Additionally, the West can help married couples increase their attraction to each other.
- Northwest. This direction awakens leadership qualities.
Naturally, natural wood is considered the best material for making a bed frame.
As a rule, children are much more susceptible to the influences of the outside world, so the choice of a crib must be more careful.
Location rules
There are several rules that can help organize a comfortable sleeping area:
- The distance between the bed and other interior items should be at least 50 cm, this ensures free access to the sleeping area.
- The sleeping area should be hidden from prying eyes, but the doorway should be clearly visible from the bed.
- If the bed is double, then access to it should be provided from both sides.
- In a narrow room, a sleeping place installed across the bed limits the space; it is better to place the bed against the wall.
- In a rectangular room, on the contrary, it is better to place the bed across.
- The functionality of the sleeping area must correspond to the individual characteristics of the owners. For example, for those who like to read, the bedroom should be equipped with high-quality multi-level lighting.
- For small bedrooms, a sofa bed with additional storage is an excellent solution. This is not advisable to do according to Feng Shui philosophy, but sometimes it is indispensable for saving space.
- It is better to highlight the beds as a central area in the bedroom.
In addition to the rules, there are several other tips that can help you decide on a place to place your bed:
- Owners of feline pets can observe where their pet sleeps. Cats are very sensitive to abnormal zones and do not sleep in those places where the harmful effects of energy on the body occur. If the animal loves to sleep on the bed, this is a good sign, although cats have lost some of their natural instincts due to domestication, they can still be trusted to find their comfort zone.
- It is not recommended for family people to place a bed near the door; active movement outside the door reduces the quality of sleep and generally interferes with sleep. Beds located next to a window opening create an atmosphere of uneasiness that is felt instinctively; in addition, during the cold season, cold air blows from the windows.
- Regarding other pieces of furniture. It is advisable to place the TV no closer than three meters from the sleeping area. It is not recommended to install mirrors opposite or next to the bed, this concept is not only dictated by Feng Shui, but in the dark, the reflection in the mirror inspires anxiety and does not allow you to sleep peacefully, the same applies to mirrored ceilings and other reflective surfaces.
One-room apartment or small bedroom
In a one-room apartment, you also want comfort and there is no desire to lay out the sofa every day. In such a room, it is better to allocate a whole corner for the bed, enclosing it with a screen or wardrobe. Let you have your own separate corner.
If there is enough space, leave a passage on at least one side. If not, but you want a big bed, so be it. The main thing is to sleep comfortably.
In a narrow, long room, you can place bedroom furniture across it if there is enough width. This will visually hide the length and leave the approach to the stock open.
The advice is still the same: avoid hot radiators and close windows, it is better to move the bed at least a meter away.
Correct location
A few centuries ago, the bed was placed in the place chosen by the cat. Over time, many theories have emerged, based on the opinions of psychologists, interior designers and feng shui specialists.
Optimal placement of the sleeping bed
Recommendations from professionals are not always applicable to existing realities. The shape of the rooms sometimes leaves no options for successful placement. For example, a room in which the doorway is located opposite a single window. In this situation, air flow will inevitably pass through the bed area. For a bedroom, such a situation is unacceptable.
Good accommodation option
Optimal bed position
The bed should be positioned so that the person lying down has the opportunity to see people entering the room. It is optimal to install the bed diagonally in relation to the door. It is in this position that the sleeper develops a feeling of security and comfort. This is in theory. In practice, these rules do not always work. The location of the bed is determined by the size of the room and its proportions. Accordingly, when choosing a location, a rational position is preferable. Aesthetic and psychological take second place.
In square rooms, the bed is installed along the central axis. Rectangular ones are zoned - bedroom furniture is placed in one part, and a coffee table and pouf in the other. In a studio with a large area, it is advisable to use an “island” layout. It will fill the voids.
From a Feng Shui perspective, the bed should be located near the main wall
According to Feng Shui, the bed should be placed near the main wall. At the same time, there should be no communication nodes or gas pipes behind it. This accommodation option is preferred by the majority of the population of Russia and Europe.
Accommodation options
The layout of the apartment affects the arrangement of furniture. Depending on the characteristics and size of the room, the optimal location is selected.
In a small room
The most common option for a bedroom with one window is to place the headboard against the wall opposite the window opening. Passages of equal size are left on both sides. To prevent sleepers from being disturbed by the moon at night, window openings are covered with curtains. If possible, bedside tables are installed next to the bed and sconces are hung.
In small rooms the sleeping place is placed against a blank wall
In a rectangular room
In a rectangular room, there are several ways to place it:
- Perpendicular to an oblong wall. Visually the room becomes more regular in shape. There is still space for walkways on both sides and installation of individual furniture.
- Diagonally. Convenient, but not the most common option. Even in a narrow room, it provides access to the bed from both sides.
- In a niche. An alcove provided for in the layout or made by yourself is used. This method is effective for a multifunctional room, bedroom and living room, for example. A nook allows you to personalize your sleeping space. There is only one small drawback. Since the bed is surrounded by walls on 3 sides, there is only one approach left.
One of the most interesting options is diagonally
Rectangular rooms are distinguished by variations in the way the bed is placed in relation to the door.
The most rational methods:
- in the opposite corner;
- along the load-bearing wall;
- headboard to the long wall in the middle.
The optimal location is in the corner opposite the door
Thanks to this arrangement, it is possible to see the person entering the door and not be in close proximity to the doorway.
Rooms with panoramic views
Most designers prefer to take advantage of this. The sleeping place is installed so that when lying on the bed you can see the window. This method is relevant for window openings with access to the forest, but not to the open sunny side.
General recommendations:
- If the room has windows facing southeast or south, the sun will wake up the sleeper in the morning. This is especially true for the southern edges, where the angle of incidence of the rays is about 90°.
- In the north, winters are characterized by sub-zero temperatures and sharp gusts of wind. Depending on the quality of the window frame, such weather can negatively affect the microclimate of the bedroom. Near the opening, air circulation occurs more intensely and can lead to drying out of the mucous membranes.
In the first case, the problem is solved with the help of curtains, and in the second, an additional heating system is installed near the window openings.
A good option for placing the bed with the foot of the window towards the window opening
Arrangement of other furniture in the bedroom according to Feng Shui
Often in studios and small apartments a workplace is installed in the bedroom
It is important to understand how often this space will be used. If only to check mail, then there is no problem.
But if the owner plans to spend most of his time at his desk and “earns money” by sitting at it, then it is important to follow the following recommendations. It is important to sit with your back to the wall and facing an open space
As is usually the case in the director’s office, the director will never sit at the table with his face to the wall and his back to the people entering.
It is important to sit with your back to the wall and facing an open space. As is usually the case in the director’s office, the director will never sit at the table with his face to the wall and his back to the people entering.
Influence of cardinal directions
There is another method for arranging a bed in Feng Shui. All cardinal directions have different effects on a person’s physical and emotional state, his thinking and energy level. If a person wants to improve something specific in his own life, then the bed is placed on the side most suitable for this.
If you turn the head of the bed to the north, then the person will develop intuition and paranormal abilities. People who constantly make mistakes, succumb to emotional impulses and do rash acts are advised to sleep on the north side.
Those individuals who consider the material side of life very important do not sleep on the north side. When the bed is placed on the northeast side, one develops intellectual abilities and receives a good education. It is advisable to sleep with your head on this side for pupils, students and those individuals who are engaged in science, but have problems understanding information. Those people who constantly work with their heads should not sleep on this side; they need proper rest at night. If a person does not fall asleep from thoughts and ideas, then he should also give up the northeast. The eastern side is suitable for almost every person, especially if he has reached old age
People in the east sleep peacefully and well, fall asleep quickly and feel rested in the morning. However, newlyweds should not relax on this side: their sex life will decline, their relationships will deteriorate, people will rapidly move away from each other. The southeastern side is suitable for those individuals who are unable to achieve a certain result for a long time. This side develops determination, perseverance and willpower. It is advisable to place a bed in the southeast for those who want to climb the career ladder, entrepreneurs and losers. The south side allows you to establish communication with others, contacts, will help you make new and very useful acquaintances, communicate with relatives and friends. If it is difficult to find an approach to people, then place the bed with the head of the bed facing south. It is recommended to rest on the southwestern side for people who have problems in their personal lives and relationships with their chosen one. If a person has long dreamed of meeting his soulmate, then it’s time to go to bed on this side. It opens love chakras and activates energy flows. Married couples will also be able to mend long-discorded relationships. The west side is great for people who are concerned about health problems. Soon you will be able to achieve the long-awaited recovery and forget about many troubles. If a person often suffers from loneliness, is in a state of depression, or feels depressed, then they choose the northwestern side for sleep and rest. If you go to bed this way, you are guaranteed a great mood in the morning.
If you follow the rules of the great Chinese sages and the teachings of Feng Shui, then you take care not only of the correct location of the bed, but also of other factors in the room. It is valuable to choose the right color scheme for the room, correctly arrange other furniture in the bedroom, purchase special talismans and, first of all, enjoy life in any situation!
Correct sleeping position and what you need to know about the position of the bed?
We spend a third of our entire lives sleeping, and therefore the correct positioning of the body is very important. Many people like to read, watch TV and even eat without getting out of bed, while saying that they are ready to spend half their life without getting out of it
Many people like to read, watch TV and even eat without getting out of bed, while saying that they are ready to spend half their life without getting out of it.
But first, it is important to understand what the position of the body itself should be. You can often wake up even more tired and the reason for this is what you fall asleep on and how you do it
If you constantly curl up, your head ends up on the hard back of the sofa or, much worse, hangs slightly off the bed.
In such cases, there is no need to talk about good condition throughout the day.
During such sleep, the body begins to experience a lack of oxygen, the neck is in constant tension and takes an unnatural position for itself.
Finding out where to sleep with your head correctly
In the future, this could develop into serious health problems. It is better to purchase a bed with an orthopedic mattress if you do not already have one.
Try to sleep in a level position, this will be a big plus
The position of the bed itself is also important.
Many old folk beliefs say that if its head is directed to the south, you will have an excellent reputation, enough respect and honor.
To the north - intuition will continuously develop, to the east - you are guaranteed a healthy, restful sleep.
West means prosperity. Therefore, decide what you are missing and start turning the bed around to get what you want.
As you can see for yourself, it is important to correctly position your place for the night; try to point the head of the bed in the direction in which you will only have good dreams. Only in this way can you find peace of mind and have a wonderful rest from all the problems and hardships of the past day.
Only in this way can you find peace and have a wonderful rest from all the problems and hardships of the past day.
A good night's sleep can be considered the key to a successful day.
Healthy sleep, of course, has not been canceled. This is all good if you live alone.
A location that is great for you may not always be a great location for someone else, especially when it comes to a night out.
Your energy fields may differ from each other and have a significant impact on the state of the body during sleep.
Tip: the right bed can provide not only a comfortable sleep, but also a peaceful life.
Before you buy a brand new bed, figure out what your goal is.
If it is a success in work, it should be square and have a wooden back.
A metal or round bed will bring good luck in business. If you see this, be sure to buy it, believe me, you won’t regret it.
If your soul gravitates toward creativity, fame, and prosperity, a wavy back is what you need.
When you see a bed with a headboard in the shape of a triangle, turn around and leave, there is no need for such an item in the interior.
The bed is of no small importance for a comfortable sleep.
Bright light

Even if the room has blinds or blackout curtains, light from the window may shine through cracks or along the edges of the curtains.
You can get up at dawn, which is not bad, for example, on weekdays. On weekends, it will be difficult to fall back to sleep.

If there are bright lights on the street. Bright light in the morning will help create a good habit of waking up early, but at the same time you may find it difficult to fall asleep at night. The consequence is fatigue and insomnia. It is advisable to wear a blindfold that is thick enough and comfortable to wear.
Beautiful blindfold for a restful and sound sleep
Why does the bed have to be positioned correctly?
The internal harmony and well-being of the owner of the bedroom directly depends on the location of the bed. Bright light and drafts make it difficult to get a good night's sleep. From an esoteric point of view, good sleep depends on the circulation or stagnation of energy flows.
According to psychological research, quality sleep depends on whether a person feels safe or not. This feeling can be achieved by adhering to the following rules:
- distance from objects that pose a danger (for example, windows);
- by placing the door in the sleeping person’s field of vision, this makes it possible to notice a stranger in a timely manner;
- impossibility of being quickly found.
An important point is the distance of the bed from the window and from the interior door.

Sleeping with your head facing west is beneficial for improving logical thinking. Energy comes unevenly from the West, which is why a person becomes nervous. This direction is not suitable for children and women.
Where and how to place a bed in the bedroom according to Feng Shui:
1). An open ceiling beam above the bed foreshadows ruin, health problems or divorce.
2). For spouses, a one-piece double mattress is chosen, and free space is left around the bed for approaching.
3). When installing a bed in the bedroom according to Feng Shui, you must remember that you cannot:
- sleep with your head or feet towards the door, close to the window, wall, opposite the door and opposite the mirror;
- not seeing the front door;
- place the door - window on the line, otherwise protect the position with paired objects on the windowsill and an object between the entrance and the place of sleep;

4). To rearrange the bed, take into account the direction of movement of negative energy, taking into account the month, year, date and time.
5). Choose a stable bed design, without swaying or squeaking. It is advisable that there are no storage spaces in it. If with drawers, then not for clothes and shoes, and not for family archives.

Example: 04/23/1962.

If the spouses belong to different groups, then the number of the owner in the family is more important, be it the husband or the wife.
Taking into account the area of the room
It is especially difficult to know where to put the bed in a small bedroom. If the room is larger than 15 m2, and the home has a separate bedroom, the rules are easy to follow. But many owners are forced to huddle in cramped spaces. The room can be small or narrow and long, of non-standard shape. It is especially difficult when the apartment is one-room. In such situations, it is difficult to choose the correct sleeping position, but if you try, it is possible.
Popular models of soft beds, design options for headboards
In a small room, it is important to arrange the furniture so that you can move freely, and doors and drawers open normally. It is advisable not to place many furnishings. In addition to the bed, you need bedside tables on both sides and a closet for storing things. In extreme cases, when the bed occupies almost the entire space of the room, it is permissible to place it in a corner.
It is difficult to arrange a bed in a narrow bedroom according to the rules. The best solution would be to place it across the room. This will make the room look more square and cozy. Passages should not be less than 60–70 cm. But sometimes a narrow bedroom does not allow such an arrangement. In such a situation, you can place furniture along a long wall or in front of a window.
When placing a bed in a one-room apartment, you need to take into account that the functions of the room will vary. If a bed is used as a sleeping place, and not a folding sofa, the best solution is to zone the room. Sleeping furniture must be fenced off with a screen, curtain, or shelving.
Bed shape and color
These parameters, according to Feng Shui experts, are no less important for a restful sleep than the arrangement of furniture in the bedroom. Ancient Chinese science gives some advice on choosing the color and shape of a bed:
- The sleeping bed should not have corners, as they accumulate negative energy. It is especially not recommended for married couples to sleep on such a bed, as this provokes conflicts. Preference should be given to rounded shapes or beds with rounded edges.
- The sides of the sleeping place should be below the level of the mattress. Neglect of this rule leads to constant obstacles, trials and restrictions in travel in a person’s life.
- There must be a solid mattress on the spouses' bed. Two separate mattresses create a barrier between spouses and a loss of emotional and spiritual connection.
- The bed must have legs so that positive energy can move freely under it.
There are separate rules regarding the head of the sleeping bed. First you need to choose the right back shape in accordance with the personal qualities and aspirations of the owner:
Form | Meaning | Photo |
Oval or semicircular | Will bring good luck to officials or businessmen; corresponds to the element “Metal” | |
Square or rectangular | Recommended for people in working professions; symbolizes the element "Earth" | |
wavy | Develops creative abilities; corresponds to the element “Water” | |
Triangular | Recommended for active people who prefer short sleep; corresponds to the element “Fire” | |
Asymmetrical | Suitable for romantics and people of art; associated with the element "Air" |
Colors favorable for the bed are soft pastel colors: such shades help restore strength during sleep and do not overload it emotionally. To harmonize relationships, the color pink is recommended for married couples. It will add cheerfulness to those who are lonely. The same goes for orange and peach.
Red color should be avoided. It excites too much and drives even very calm people crazy. It is better not to use a blue tint. It destroys harmony in a married couple. To improve health, it would be correct to use sky blue, lavender and all shades of green.
Bed and its choice
They note that it is impossible to ensure high-quality and comfortable sleep on an uncomfortable bed.
That is why they pay close attention to this piece of furniture. Chinese sages note that the ideal bed is chosen taking into account certain factors
- Corner furniture is great at accumulating negative and negative energy, so it is recommended to opt for a rounded bed or one with corners that are slightly rounded. If a married couple sleeps on a bed with sharp corners, then quarrels and constant conflicts for the family will definitely be guaranteed.
- The bed must have a headboard. It is not an ordinary piece of furniture decoration. The teachings of Feng Shui claim that it is the headboard that protects the sleeper from the effects of the negative energy of the surrounding space. It is better to give preference to a headboard that does not have bars or holes; it should be solid and very large.
- The bed does not have high sides, that is, the mattress must be higher than these devices. If you do not listen to the advice of experts, then obstacles and trials will constantly await you in a person’s life, and he will not be able to avoid difficulties. Also, a bed with sides will not allow you to travel or even go on vacation.
- The matrimonial bed only has a single mattress. If it is divided into two parts, then the spouses will not have mutual understanding, emotional and spiritual intimacy.
- The bed must have legs so that positive energy can circulate freely under it and give a person joy. At the same time, they do not forget about convenience and comfort.
Correct position of the bed
The teachings of Feng Shui categorically do not recommend placing a bed indoors in such a way that the feet of the sleeper are directed towards the doorway. This sign has been known not only in China, but also in many countries of the world since ancient times. In Russia, it is believed that only dead people are turned with their feet towards the door, so sleeping in this way is considered a very bad omen. If the bed is in this position, and rearranging the furniture is not possible, be sure to place something large and tall between the door and the sleeping area. In a pinch, even a screen or flower will do. After all, then this object will fence off the sleeping place from the door, and negative energy will not penetrate the sleeping person.
It is not suitable to hang or install overly large interior and decorative elements above the bed
Pay attention to large shelves, large chandeliers or lamps. Such objects will negatively affect a person during sleep, suppress his will, as a result he will not get enough sleep and will begin to feel a lack of energy for new achievements. It is strictly forbidden to place a sleeping place in front of mirrors
This arrangement will completely deprive a person of energy and strength, because during sleep the mirror will suck everything out of him. Married couples with this arrangement of the bed can provoke themselves and their chosen one to go to the side and completely break off the relationship.
Under no circumstances should the headboard be near the window. This allows positive energy to flow out. However, they change the situation if they cover the window with thick and light-proof curtains.
Do not place a bed near a wall if there is a restroom or bathroom directly behind it. The fact is that positive energy will flow away along with the water. If you have to place the bed near the wall, then the space on the other side is completely freed up
It is important to emphasize that if spouses are going to sleep on the bed, then under no circumstances should it be placed against the wall. There is free space on both sides so that the energy of love circulates as freely as possible.
Position of the bed according to cardinal directions
The teaching of Feng Shui attaches great importance to the position of a person during sleep. It is useful to know where his head is turned at night, because his emotional and physical state is directly dependent on this. How to understand in which direction your head should be positioned while sleeping? To determine the most favorable side of the world for sleep, you need to use one of two correct methods. Calculate your Gua number. It shows the personal energy map of a particular person and uses it to determine the most favorable side of the world.
Where is the best place not to place a bed?
The recommendations below are supported by feng shui representatives and psychologists. The restrictions apply to any standard premises, with the exception of studio apartments. In the latter, the kitchen is often combined with a living space and the rules may not apply.
Foot to door reception
According to Slavic traditions, this position of the bed is considered a bad omen. The bodies of the dead are carried out of the house feet first, so it is better to avoid such frightening analogies.
According to the canons of Feng Shui, this position promotes the unhindered penetration of negative energy, which contributes to the development of various diseases.
If the parameters of the room do not allow you to position the bed differently, experts recommend closing the door at night. It is advisable to install a screen in front of the door leaf, and next to it a houseplant with round leaves.
Some modern studio layouts make it impossible to position the bed properly.
Reference! Muslims consider uncovered legs to be bad manners and rudeness. This type of bed arrangement is unacceptable in Eastern countries.
Headboard to window
A bed located near a window does not touch the wall. On a subconscious level, this fact can cause negative emotions in the owner of the room. In such a position a person does not feel safe. In the position with your back to the door, the doorway is not in the vacationer’s field of vision, and the vacationer cannot control who is entering the room. This also applies to panoramic windows; it is recommended to cover them with thick curtains.
In the summer, many people do not close their windows at night. Noise can be annoying and distracting while you sleep. The noise of the wind, the bright light of lanterns, walking groups, the sound of insects and the singing of birds - all this interferes with proper rest. Extraneous sounds do not allow the body to completely relax.
The position of the bed at a short distance from the window will also be incorrect. The cool air coming from it is fraught with the development of colds.
The bed is located in line between the window and the door
Small bedrooms are usually shaped like a pencil case. If you place the bed between the window and the door, it will be right in the center of the air flow.
According to the canons of Feng Shui, this situation is extremely undesirable from an energy point of view. When ventilating the room, there will be a draft.
Adjacent to a wall with a door
If a vacationer lies with his back to the door, it will be difficult for him to understand whether someone else has entered the room or not. This will require standing up, which will create unnecessary discomfort. On a subconscious level, if a person does not see the entrance to the bedroom in his field of vision, he experiences a feeling of anxiety. In the long term, this fact can lead to serious heart disease.
According to the advice of psychologists, the bed should be placed away from the door. The opening should be in the field of view of the vacationer. If the room has a window, it should also be clearly visible. In this position, a person is completely calm and feels safe.
Designers, on the contrary, believe that the bed should not be visible when the door is open. This violates the intimacy of the process.
Shared wall with kitchen or bathroom
If there is a kitchen or bathroom next to the room, extraneous noise will interfere with proper rest. The operation of household appliances, the sound of water, and the clinking of dishes will also cause inconvenience.
Close proximity to these zones contributes to the leakage of wealth and prosperity from the home. A bed with a thick wall will correct the situation. The influence of unwanted noise will be reduced.
Centered
From a design point of view, this is one of the worst decisions. This arrangement negatively affects a person’s mental state.
In addition, the bed is in space. The sleeping place should be positioned so that on one side there is support and protection in the form of a wall.
Under a sloping ceiling
An uneven ceiling has a subconscious effect on the psyche. Every time a person goes to sleep in rooms with sharp corners and low beams, a person experiences anxiety.
Such a room looks chopped up and is not suitable for a recreation area. Installing a canopy will correct the situation and protect the sleeper.
The footboard is located close to the wall
Chinese practitioners claim that such an arrangement does not have the best effect on a person’s emotional state. Staring at the wall is depressing. This can interfere with career advancement.
The quality of life directly depends on the availability of free space in front of the bed. At the same time, life is filled with new possibilities.
Unwanted items in the bedroom
It is advisable to enhance the correct placement of the bed with the overall harmonization of the interior. Many items weigh down the space and negate all the efforts spent.
Table 1. What to avoid when arranging a bedroom
Name | Description |
Massive things | This category includes bookshelves whose height is more than 1.8 m. Installing such structures above the heads of sleeping people is not acceptable. Any bulky piece of furniture in this area can cause insomnia. |
Volumetric chandeliers | Large chandeliers in the bedroom give the room an overly formal status and are considered a source of subconscious anxiety. They give off bright light. Such lighting intensity in a recreation area is not acceptable. |
Mirrors | There should be no mirrors opposite or above the sleeping area. In addition to the fact that they distract, according to Feng Shui, any psiche or dressing table is considered an energy reflector. Since during a night's rest a person is freed from negative emotions, the mirror will ricochet this negative energy in the morning. A person may wake up tired and depressed in the morning. |
Uncomfortable mattress | A poor-quality foundation will ruin your sleep even on a perfectly placed bed. |
TV or computer | The bed should not be located less than 3 m from electrical appliances. Harmful radiation negatively affects the physical well-being of the sleeper. |
Bunk bed | A dubious option from a feng shui perspective. It is believed that the person on the lower bunk will be under the psychological and energetic influence of the one sleeping on the top bunk. |
Water tanks | It is not advisable to install large water tanks in the sleeping area. It is preferable to place mini fountains and aquariums in the living room. |
