How to put a bed in the bedroom?

The correct arrangement of the bed in the bedroom is a much more serious issue than anyone might think. A well-chosen place contributes to a sound and restful sleep, a favorable distribution of the apartment’s energy, maintaining high efficiency and a surge of vitality.

According to the principles of the Chinese Feng Shui teachings, each room is a projection of certain energy fields that affect the well-being of the owners of the apartment in different ways. One of the main tasks of this philosophy is to achieve maximum compatibility and harmony of the surrounding space and man.

Feng Shui supporters and followers are sure that the right place for the sleeping bed helps restore harmony in marital relations, increases the likelihood of conception in childless couples and contributes to the easy course of pregnancy.

So, in order to set the bed to the “right” place, it is necessary to take into account a number of important points.

• Harmony. To make the dream more comfortable, it is necessary to remove too bright lighting from the room, and adjust the remaining lighting devices so that all objects in the bedroom are evenly lit by them.You should not put the bed in a dark corner, since, according to the postulates of Chinese teachings, negative energy is collected in unlit places, which puts pressure on a person and deprives him of his strength.
• Conformity. The size of the bed should be combined with the area of ​​the bedroom and other furnishings. Massive furniture in the bedroom is not larger than the bed. Otherwise, the overall object will distort the energy space and will not allow energy flows to be distributed harmoniously throughout the room. This will lead to the fact that the energy center, which should be a bed, will shift to a larger piece of furniture, and the movement of flows will occur incorrectly.
• Orderliness. Any bed should be equipped with the high legs necessary for the free circulation of Qi energy. For this reason, it is impossible to store various things under a berth, especially large boxes and bedclothes. In addition, the furniture in the bedroom should have soft forms and not have sharp corners. The combination of these two factors, according to Feng Shui followers, will protect the sleeping place from the accumulation of negative energy and ensure normal sleep.
• Protection. According to the Feng Shui doctrine, the bed should be made of natural wood and have a solid base. This is due to the property of wood to accumulate positive energy and to charge the owner with it during sleep.

The next important point is the location of the bed, taking into account the cardinal points. On this occasion in philosophy there is a conviction that in order to restore vitality it is necessary to lay your head to the east, to strengthen health - to the south, to attract wealth - to the west, and for a surge of positive energy - to the north.

In addition, the southwestern direction promises happiness in family relationships, the southeastern one predicts luck in all endeavors, the northeast restores spiritual strength, and the northwest helps to open up new opportunities.

As Feng Shui says, the sleeping bed should not be opposite the mirrors, otherwise the person sleeping on it risks getting into the "corridor" of negative energyoften mirrored surfaces. For the same reason, it is not recommended to place televisions and computer monitors in the immediate vicinity of the bed, as they are emitters of negative energy and cause significant harm to the human biofield.

It is also recommended to ventilate the bedroom before going to bed, pursuing two goals at once: the influx of fresh air is very good for health, and with the new air masses, the life-giving energy of Qi enters the room.

As for the premises themselves, the followers of the doctrine have their own point of view on this subject. It is strongly recommended that you choose a room in the form of a square or as close as possible to the bedroom. This is because in Chinese philosophy, the square denotes the ideal shape or sign of the earth.

If a room is selected, it is recommended to examine it with a compass and bagua, as well as determine the most favorable places for bedding.

It is necessary to remove paintings from the walls with the image of a grin of animals, stuffed animals and portraits of close relatives. This moment is very important when arranging a sleeping place, since no one should look at a sleeping person.

In addition, you need to remove or move to the living room souvenirs and interior items with sharp elements - the so-called “piercing arrows”. According to Feng Shui, pointed forms damage the human biofield, and also work as antennas and attract negative energy.

Another important condition when choosing a place for a bed is the lack of aquariums and home fountains in the immediate vicinity. Such items are best installed in living rooms, where they will have a calming effect on others and attract wealth to the house. If water elements are located near the bed, then they can provoke fluidity and instability in family relationships, which can lead to discord between the spouses.

To enhance the effect of the location of the bed on the well-being of its owner, it is recommended to wipe the corners of the room and the floor under the bed with a solution of salt more often, and then burn a branch of wormwood or other incense. The ritual is carried out with wide open windows about an hour before going to bed. This helps to clean the bedroom of energy debris, which is constantly formed in any room where there are people.

And Feng Shui does not recommend placing a lamp or sconce directly above the head of the head. It is better to move the light fixture a little to the side or mount the ceiling light. Table lamps can be placed on bedside tables.

If the layout of the apartment does not allow to arrange the bed in Feng Shui, and all the rooms do not form a square in the aggregate, then you can use auxiliary accessories and arrange talismans of certain colors around the bed. For example, green objects represent good health, while yellow and brown represent the stability of family relationships.

You can use the technique of "four animals"placing a dragon figure to the left of the sleeping bed, a tiger figure to the right, a picture with a red bird depicted on it at the foot, and an image of a turtle at the head of the bed.

Besides, it should be remembered that bedside tables and other interior items are recommended to be installed in pairs, and when placing two cots, they must be separated, putting between them a low table or dresser. To harmonize relations with a partner, it is recommended to have the headboard against the wall, and in order to move the child to study, the berth is placed on one side close to the wall.

Most modern plans allow you to put the bed in the right place and does not force the owners to sacrifice comfort in the name of observing all the rules of the arrangement. However, for this, the area of ​​the bedroom should be at least 15 squares, than the residents of the old housing stock, of course, cannot. During the years of active urban development with the so-called "Khrushchevs", the state pursued only one goal - to resettle citizens from communal apartments and wooden barracks as soon as possible into a separate comfortable housing.

Nobody really thought about the size and shape of the rooms at that time, and therefore the installation of a bed in a small square is still very relevant for many today. It is especially difficult to place a double bed in a narrow bedroom, the width of which does not allow you to put it headboard to a long wall.

Often the passage between the opposite wall and the foot is less than 70 cm, necessary for comfortable movement around the room. In such cases, the owners set the bed on the side close to the wall, because of which one of the spouses is not able to get out of bed on their side. But for a single bed, this option is quite acceptable and is a classic installation method.

When choosing a place for a sleeping bed, it is necessary to be guided by common sense, so you need to install a bed not only according to the direction of energy flows, but also take into account a number of other important factors. An ideal arrangement of the bed is its installation by the headboard to a blank wall, which has no windows or doorways. In this case, both the window and the door will be located on the sides of the sleeping bed or on one of the sides, depending on the layout.

If the area of ​​the bedroom allows, and the entrance to it is opposite the window, then you can put the bed diagonally - the headboard in the corner of the window wall. Such an arrangement, on the one hand, will not allow the sun to hit in the morning, and on the other hand, it will make it possible to keep the door in sight. The latter circumstance is especially important, because, not seeing the door, a person feels vulnerable, feels psychological discomfort and feels a sense of insecurity.

When choosing a place for a double bed, it is desirable to provide free access to the sleeping place for both spouses. Otherwise, one of them, sleeping against the wall, will feel sandwiched, constantly disturbing the other when trying to get out of bed. And also you should pay attention to the location and power of the air conditioner, in the area of ​​which under no circumstances it is necessary to have a bed. Otherwise, you can earn serious health problems, as in a dream a person becomes most vulnerable to drafts.

If the bedroom in the apartment is so tiny that it cannot normally accommodate all the furniture, it is recommended to use alternative options for sleeping places, for example, an attic bed or a folding bed. With noticeable differences in the height of the floor, the head should be placed on the high part. Cottages and old-built houses often sin on sloping floors, in which foundation shifts occur due to soil vibrations.

When choosing a place for a bed, you can use the old way with pets. Especially sensitive to the energy of a particular place are cats that never settle on a site with a circulation of negative energies.

When choosing a place for the bed, it is important to avoid miscalculations that can lead to the fact that sleep on it will become difficult and restless. Below are the most common mistakes, knowledge of which will help to avoid many troubles.

You can not place the bed in front of large and emotional paintings, except those that are allowed feng shui. This is especially true of reproductions of famous artists, many of which carry a deep meaning in life and are thought-provoking.

If you believe superstition, then it is undesirable to place the sleeping bed so that a person lies with his feet to the door.

It is not advisable to set the bed head to the wall on which the door is located. This can cause psychological discomfort in a person, and the knock of a closing door will prevent him from resting.

You cannot use two separate mattresses on a double bed. There is a likelihood that they will disperse, and also such a division of the sleeping bed can negatively affect marital relations. It is better to purchase one large mattress and not tempt fate.

Do not place the bed under the window side to the window for reasons:

• sleeping under drafts is very dangerous;
• heating radiators are usually located under the window, which also do not add comfort to a sleeping person.

They do not put a bed in the center of the bedroom either, since the sleeping place should be anchored to one of the walls. And although this situation has recently become fashionable, it does not allow a person to feel safe and completely relax. The bed torn away from the “shores” causes a feeling of raft in the middle of the ocean, and not a cozy and comfortable sleeping bed. It is not recommended to install a bed opposite the door leading to a narrow and long corridor.

As mentioned above, there should not be any mirror surfaces opposite the sleeping bed., the same applies to the ceiling. Even glossy models of ceiling coatings in the bedroom are unacceptable, and the mirror ceiling is out of the question. This is due to the fact that the mirror surface is prone to reflect negative flows and direct them away from you.

Another important rule for bedding is the ban on its placement along the walls adjacent to the kitchens, bathrooms and bathrooms. The work of kitchen appliances, the hum of water and sewer pipes significantly interfere with vacationers.

In addition, these places have the status of "wet zones", that is, leaks and accidents can occur throughout the access riser in these areas. When a pipe breaks in an apartment from above, the walls and ceiling of the "wet areas" are primarily affected. From there, moisture quickly seeps through the partition and the bed is in the midst of flooding.

It is also not recommended to install a bed with the foot to the wall.. This is perhaps the most unfortunate option of all possible, since the person’s head will be in an open zone of insecurity, and when waking up, one will rest against the wall.

In no case should you have a bed under the cabinets and bookshelves. Hanging objects will provide psychological pressure on a person, and there is always a risk of collapse of the hinged structures. It is still not recommended to put a bed under the dormer-windows, sloping roofs and stairs.

In one-room apartments, parents very often separate the child’s sleeping place with a wardrobe, trying to create something for them like their own room. From an energetic point of view, this arrangement of furniture does not affect the sleeping person very well. According to Feng Shui teachings, a cabinet blocks the path of energy and causes it to refract.

In addition, in these "lockers" the natural air circulation is disturbed, it stagnates and accumulates dust particles in itself, which in the future can lead to allergic reactions, psychosomatic suffocation and asthmatic attacks.

Do not place the bed near radiators, fireplaces, or other heating appliances. Not only will it be hard to sleep under such conditions, so also the wooden structural elements will begin to crack and creak.
