How to put the right bed in the bedroom: the rules of feng shui and ergonomics

The main piece of furniture in the bedroom is the bed. And your overall well-being depends on how right it will be comfortable. But not only its qualities, choice of mattress, etc. are important, but also its correct location in the room. If you think that putting the right bed in the bedroom is easy, you’re wrong. There are too many nuances in terms of ergonomics and in terms of energy, which is studied by feng shui. You will have to break your head to choose its optimal position, but the rest will be full.

Bedroom feng shui: the rules

To feel good, performance – at least normal, it is necessary to sleep. With this you can not argue. The atmosphere should be calm and relaxing, and for this in the design of the bedroom mainly choose light, pastel colors.

But not only color creates the atmosphere. Equally important is the furnishings, including furniture and other items. Much attention to the correct location of objects and decor is paid by Eastern philosophy, and in particular, one of its directions – feng shui. The rules are quite a lot, here are the main ones applicable specifically to the bedroom:

• Only necessary things should stand. Any objects accumulate energy, and a large amount of it in the bedroom prevents you from relaxing. Therefore, all unnecessary things should be removed to other rooms. Especially what is stored under the bed.
• If the bed is double – the mattress should be one, not two folded together. The border separates the spouses emotionally, which will inevitably cause problems.
• It is desirable to put the bed in the bedroom so that the approach to it was from two sides. If this is impossible, a man sleeps under the wall: so that the woman, climbing over it did not take away his energy.

  

• Above the headboard should not be overhanging elements: no overhanging large shelves or other similar structures. The ceiling – smooth, even, without beveled parts. All these elements change the direction of energy flow, so they are undesirable.
• The chandelier is not above the bed, but displaced. If you can’t shift it completely, you need a special form – a ceiling plate or a horn, but with horns upwards.
• The mirror is located so that the bed it did not reflect, but in the headboard it can not hang. The same applies to mirrored surfaces of the closet or closet. If the mirror is necessary – hang it on the inside of the door. Opened – look at your reflection.

  

Now let’s move on to feng shui recommendations on how to put the bed in the bedroom. The rules are also enough:

• It is desirable to place the headboard close to a solid wall without windows or a doorway. If you can not put to a solid wall, then at least not under the window.
• It should not be placed with its feet against the door.
• It should not stand on a straight line connecting the window and the door.
• If behind the wall there are ventilation shafts or sewer risers, to such a wall the bed is definitely not put. This applies to bedrooms with their own bathrooms. Position the bed so that from such a wall it is as far away as possible.

Orientation to the sides of the world

According to the Chinese sages influence on our lives and the direction of the house in general, and the place to sleep in particular: in sleep we spend much more time at home than awake. So choose more where to put the bed headboard:

• south – provides stability of reputation;
• to the southeast – strengthens perseverance, promotes the achievement of goals;
• east – sleeps peacefully;
• to the northeast – akivizes thought processes;
• north – promotes intuition;
• northwest – attracts friends;
• west – strengthens health and promotes offspring;
• southwest – attracts love.

Based on all of this, choose to sleep with your head north and develop intuition or southwest to find love…well, or somewhere else.

How to safely and comfortably place the bed in the bedroom

Safe – this time from the point of view of health and possible dangers, and convenient – from the point of view of ergonomics: so that it was comfortable to sleep and maintain the bed – to tuck it in, change the linen.

From this point of view, you should not sleep on a straight line connecting the door and window. The reason – draughts, which can be dangerous and comfort will certainly not add.

On the sides of the bed should not put high cabinets. This creates an uncomfortable feeling, and there is a chance that something will fall. Fenshui also, by the way, does not recommend this arrangement of furniture, but for a different reason: the corners of the furniture are directed at the sleepers, violating their energy.

A little about how to put the bed from the point of view of ergonomics. It is desirable that on both sides there was a passage of at least 70 cm. If on one side is a dressing table, chest of drawers or other furniture, then the distance is increased – not less than 0.95 cm, and better a meter or more. Then it will be possible to squat near the furniture to open the bottom drawers, for example, and it will not interfere when making the bed.
