The bedroom is where we relax and recharge. The bed is the most important piece of furniture in the bedroom. People spend one-third of their day sleeping. That said, beds are crucial to our sleep. In addition to using comfortable bedding, the placement of the bed is also very particular. There were many studies on the location of Feng Shui in ancient China. Feng Shui is an ancient concept, it is the energy of nature.
In space design, designers have also been borrowing Feng Shui design to promote the harmony between people and the environment. Properly placing the bed according to Feng Shui is good for our health. When sleeping, we are passively in a “yin” state. At this time, we can increase positive energy (called chi or qi) by changing the bedroom layout. So how to do it specifically? Read on!

Place your bed in a commanding position, where you can see the door from your bed. It should be noted that the bed cannot be facing the door. (The bed and door are not in a straight line). If your toes are facing the door, this is called the “coffin” position. We should avoid it. The best position is diagonally from the door. We can observe the movements in the room at any time, and our privacy is also protected.
Keep Space On Both Sides Of The Bed

Symmetry is another concept in Feng Shui that designers often focus on. Place the bed in the center of the wall. If space allows, leave at least 15 inches on either side of the bed. Bedside tables are also best placed symmetrically. The symmetrical position is conducive to the flow of energy in the space. If you are married, this is also good for couples and harmony.
Keep The Bottom Of The Bed Clean
You can really store a lot of stuff under your bed. But this is not recommended in Feng Shui. When we sleep in bed, it is best if the bottom of the bed is empty. Clutter underneath can block the flow of “chi” in the room. If you have to store items under your bed, keep away items with negative energy. Stay away from items that cause you emotional upheaval, such as photos with your ex.
There Be "Dependence" At The Bedside

You’re better off opting for a solid headboard with no cutouts. In Feng Shui, a solid headboard means stability and security in life. In addition, this is also beneficial to the harmony of your interpersonal relationships. Placing the headboard against the wall will add a sense of security. We should avoid placing the bed under the window. This is especially important for people who have poor sleep quality.
Avoid Beams And Sloped Ceilings

Beds should not be placed under sloping ceilings or beams. This compresses the space and is not conducive to the flow of energy. We should breathe freely and relaxedly while sleeping. And sloping ceilings and beams can create pressure and affect our sleep. Sleeping is the only big thing in the room. So our bed should be as open as possible.
Are you inspired? These tips can improve our sleep quality and promote good health. Don’t worry if the layout of the room has limitations. Using mirrors to reflect doorways and crystal balls to correct energy flow are also possible. Everything is centered around our sleeping comfort.
