What does symbolize?
Millennial Chinese practice is popular all over the world. Feng Shui is a science of living in harmony with the world, based on the balance of Yin and Yang. Both elements are complementary. Yang symbolizes work, money and activity. And Yin is calm, rest and static. And if you mix Yin and Yang in the same room, then energy chaos will occur. Therefore, in the living room and in the kitchen, the basis of interior and design should be Yang, and in the bedroom and in the nursery, Yin energy is favorable.
Feng Shui bed determines the well-being of a person. And the interaction of forces and energy depends on how the space is organized in the recreation area. But not all furniture is suitable for a healthy sleep.
When choosing a bed, you must consider the size, color scheme and shape of the bed.
Shapes, sizes and colors

The best choice for Feng Shui would be a bed measuring 150x220 cm, 220x 220 cm, 220x240 cm or 190x220 cm. A high soft back at the head will be an additional symbol of protection and tranquility.The color scheme in the recreation area plays an important role.
- Purple color symbolizes financial well-being.
- Pink the palette helps to build relationships in the family.

Any elements associated with the sea should not be present in the bedroom. It can be paintings with water, figurines, fountains or an aquarium with fish.
It is believed that the water element "washes" calm energy.
Location
In Feng Shui, the bed should be near the wall. Often, designers prefer to place upholstered furniture away from the walls. For example, in a one-room apartment, the sofa, which also acts as a bed, is located closer to the central part of the room in order to divide the room into several zones. From a design point of view, this technique is often justified. But according to the rules of Feng Shui, you should not do this.
According to ancient Chinese science, furniture in this case remains in a "suspended" position. If the bed has no support with at least one wall, then the energy in the room is chaotic and erratic. Therefore, the head of the bed must be in contact with the wall. But the passage to the double bed should remain free from two sides, otherwise the couple risks breaking up. In addition, the spouse sleeping near the wall will feel pressure and restriction of freedom.
Transforming multifunctional furniture is not suitable for the interior of the bedroom. The wardrobe bed, although it seems convenient and, from a design point of view, is a unique find for owners of small apartments, but according to ancient Chinese science, such furniture carries a lot of negative emotional energy.
Zone
Chinese sages claimed that a person can influence the flow of energy himself, creating order or chaos in the room. In the relaxation area should prevail calm and muted colors. Do not overload the area of sleep and love with a lot of furniture. And do not store any things, suitcases or rubbish under the bed.
It is also important that the windows in the bedroom are always clean, and that they must be covered with curtains at night.
If you live in a separate private house, make sure that the relaxation area is not close to the kitchen or bathroom. Even the door leading directly from the bedroom to the bathroom has a negative interpretation of Feng Shui. The working area in the apartment or house should be separated from the place of relaxation so that the balance of Yin and Yang is not disturbed. And also all communications should not be adjacent to the recreation area.
