Bed in Feng Shui – See the best placement

THE bed in Feng Shui represents you, so it is considered the most important piece of furniture in your home.

Your bed is probably where you spend most of your day. Plus, this piece of furniture is where you sleep. When we sleep, we enter a passive state called “yin”. In this state, we are more susceptible to the energies that surround us.

In other words, in Feng Shui, the position of the bed is extremely important because it will strongly influence your energy, affecting you both consciously and unconsciously.

Bed Position in Feng Shui

The first Feng Shui guideline is for the bed to be positioned in a place where you can see the front door of your room. This is known as the command position.

However, it is necessary to avoid that the bed in Feng Shui is placed directly in line with the door. Ideally, the bed should be positioned diagonally from the entrance.

If it is not possible to place the bed in the command position, you can correct the problem using a mirror.

Hang a mirror in the bedroom so that when you are lying in bed, you can see the reflection of the door in it.

Can you put the bed under the window in Feng Shui?

No! Avoid placing the bed under the window, especially if your room is on the ground floor or if you have eye problems.

According to Feng Shui, the bed against a solid wall is the best position for this furniture. With this position, you reduce the energy above your head, causing you to get a good night’s sleep.

If for some reason your bed doesn’t fit against the wall, the way to correct the situation is to keep the bedroom door closed when you are lying in bed.

It is also important that you pay attention to the type of bed you are going to buy. The most suitable are beds made of solid wood or with solidly upholstered headboards.

Avoid multi-panel headboards, open bars, or shelves.

What does each direction of the bed mean?

Depending on which direction you position the bed in Feng Shui, you attract a certain type of result.

best positions

West direction

The positive point of this placement is that it creates the best conditions for you to sleep well, since West is contentment.

However, bed in this position can bring about laziness and low motivation.

Thus, this bed position in Feng Shui is best suited for people who have a solid professional career, not for those who are starting a new career.

East direction

This placement brings freshness, youth and energy. You will feel that every day is really a new day, giving you the courage to chase your dreams.

Southeast direction

If you have trouble communicating with other people, position your bed towards the Southeast. This position improves communication and increases creativity.

Southwest direction

If your bed faces the Southwest, you will feel calmer and more at peace.

Positions to avoid

North direction

According to Feng Shui, the bed should not be facing North because this position, known as “death position”can bring about sleep disorders such as insomnia.

Northeast direction

With the bed in this position, you are likely to have nightmares frequently. In addition, you may always feel at risk.

south direction

This position is very bad for sleeping as it has very high energy. It can also attract discussions to your relationship.
