Orientalists can always tell you where to place any piece of furniture so that your home is constantly replenished with positive energy. The bedroom can be considered one of those places in our house where we spend the greatest amount of time - in a dream, therefore it is necessary to tackle the issues of its arrangement very seriously and thoroughly. It is worth clarifying the placement of the bed in this room and the principles of the correct choice of this piece of furniture.
Feng Shui Bedroom Area
According to Feng Shui philosophy, every element in the bedroom will have a special meaning: even the ceiling and the location of outlets and lamps. However, usually the bedroom is divided into 2 zones - activity and passivity. One part will be designed for a quiet sleep, and the second will become a place to stay awake.
These areas should be highlighted visually with the help of photo wallpaper or carpet. The activity zone is best placed closer to the exit from the premises.
What should be the bed?
A place to sleep will directly affect the understanding between the couple. If the marriage bed is chosen or is incorrect, there will simply not be any harmonious relationship between husband and wife - earlier inconceivable quarrels and scandals will begin to occur in this family.
If you sleep and live alone, it’s still better not to be too frivolous to acquire such an important piece of furniture. The bed will affect the working area of his master. If the sleeping place is properly equipped, then you will find success in business and financial well-being, and if not, failure will follow failure.
- Particular attention should be paid to the appearance of the head. There are many products in furniture stores without this element - but you should not buy them, since the lack of a headboard will leave you without serious protection. If it is present, then it is best that this element is solid, solid, without thread and voids, because through them the danger creeps up to the sleeping person.
- You should not buy a bed, whose sides will be higher than the mattress lying on it - a similar situation, according to Feng Shui experts, restricts a person’s freedom, directs a whole set of different intractable problems into his life.
- No need to buy a bed without strong legs. If the sleeping bed is on the floor, positive energy will not be able to circulate freely next to it. But you also cannot store boxes or bags packed to the top under the bed - there should be a void under the bed, otherwise you will begin to experience various problems.
- Buy a one-piece mattress, as a product of two halves that are sewn together, for a good dream, a married couple will not work, as it will cause strife.
- In feng shui, the parameters of the bed itself will be of great importance. It must be chosen, starting from the parameters of the room itself. In a large room it is best to put a massive bed, in a small room an oversized product will look great. If you live alone, do not purchase a bed for two, otherwise you will postpone your meeting with the second half for a long time.
- And the most important nuance is the material of the bed. The most suitable Feng Shui material is wood. Wood will fill any bedroom with peace and quiet.
How to put?
There are 2 most important rules for placing a Feng Shui sleeping bed. According to them, such an important interior item should stand in one of the corners that are located as far as possible from the door leading to the room. The owner, lying on the bed, should have a good view of the door - this rule is unshakable.
But there are bans on feng shui for placing a bedroom.
- You can not install the bed relative to the front door so that your legs "looked" in its closed or open opening.
- The bed is not set against the walls if there is a toilet or kitchen behind them. The noise of water, the constant buzz of household appliances will significantly reduce the quality of rest, and you will not be able to sleep.
- Do not put a berth by the window. Third-party sounds from the side of the street will constantly wake you up.
- The bed is not placed headboard to the wall with the presence of a doorway in it. This rule is not important if you live alone, but if you have a huge family, all people who enter or leave the room will wake you with the sound of a moving door.
- If you sleep in the attic with sloping ceilings, or if there are heavy beams on your ceiling, do not place a berth under them, as they will create pressure when you fall asleep.
- A sleeping bed is placed in Feng Shui so that massive objects — heavy chandeliers, bookshelves, bulky paintings — would not negatively affect the quality of dreams above the heads of the sleeping people.
- Feng Shui masters do not recommend placing a bed at outlets, although many modern people are used to the fact that you can connect a phone or tablet to the outlet for charging, so that they are accessible to the owner lying in bed.
- The most common rule that even those who are not interested in feng shui know is the combination of a mirror surface and a bed. It is believed that it is strictly forbidden to put these interior items opposite each other.
If your bedroom does not have enough space for such an interior solution, it will be correct to close the mirror while you sleep.
