The science of Feng Shui says that housing plays one of the most important roles for every person. Moreover, the most influential and interesting place is the bedroom. This is due to the fact that it is in the bedroom that a person spends almost two thirds of his life, regardless of age.

The location of the bedroom relative to the cardinal directions

Feng Shui is a science that helps to tune vital energy in such a way that its effect on a person is favorable. However, it is not enough to correctly arrange the furniture in the room; you also need to correctly select the location of the room itself relative to the cardinal directions. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the age of the inhabitants of the room, their social status, marital status, profession.

There are several options for choosing a place for the bedroom:

• the northwestern part of the apartment is suitable for spouses who are not only happily married, but also quite successful in building a career;
• the south-eastern and southern parts are designed to help young and creative people, seekers of constant adventures;
• the western side of the apartment contributes to building a career, but such people will miss romance;
• the southwestern part of the apartment is not conducive to upliftment in life in general, since sleeping in this part causes a feeling of insecurity own strength, anxiety, loss of strength.

A similar choice should be made in the case when there is no bedroom as such in the apartment, but only functional area where the bed is located.

What furniture should be in the bedroom

To attract health, career success and love, it is important that the shape of the room is correct (ideally square or rectangular without niches), and that the interior is not overcrowded with furniture. The bedroom should contain only the essentials.

In addition to the bed, there may be:

The best option is an environment where there are no sharp corners. It is recommended to choose furniture with smooth lines and rounded corners. Moreover, all pieces of furniture must be new. Antique objects will bring their own history and foreign energy into the bedroom, which is not always positive.

At the same time, everything needs to be kept in order. First of all, this concerns order in the closet and a neatly made bed. Some objects are undesirable, for example, an aquarium (this is a symbol of wealth that you can successfully sleep through), a mirror opposite the bed.

How to choose and where to place a bed

This piece of furniture needs attention special attention, since a person rests directly on it. Not only a comfortable mattress contributes to a full and healthy sleep, but also the correct location of the bed in the room. Remember that sleeping place should be as convenient and comfortable as possible. The idea to replace the bed folding chair or other similar furniture should be thrown away immediately. This will not only contribute to the occurrence of diseases, but also a deterioration in the quality of life. The basic rules for choosing a bed are:

• the bed should be double, even if you sleep on it alone;
• the mattress should only be one-piece, even for a married couple, otherwise the spouses will constantly quarrel;
• the bed must be stable and durable;
• The bed should always be carefully made, bed linen should be fresh.

The bed should be a double even for one person

It is best to place the bed against the wall, which is located directly next to the door. During sleep, a person should see the door, but not lie with his feet towards it. Correct body position during sleep prevents the occurrence of diseases and promotes health. Placing a bed opposite the entrance is strictly prohibited.

If a double bed was purchased by a bachelor or a single woman, then there are rules for its placement in the room. It should stand against the wall not with its side, but with its head. This will help you avoid living alone.

There are rules that indicate how the bed cannot be placed:

• You cannot place the bed in the center of the room; it must be adjacent to one side of the wall (as an option, place the bed diagonally if it is not possible to place it near the wall);
• there is too much flow in the gap between the window and the door, which is not very favorable for a sleeping person (opaque curtains that will hold back this flow will help correct the situation);
• there should be no vertical beams, pillars, columns, two doors near the bed, and beams and holes above the bed;
• It is not recommended to place objects near your feet.

When choosing a bed, special attention should be paid to the headboard. It should protect the sleeper, and therefore be wide enough. The shape is ideally oval or round, which will increase family income. To normalize family relationships, it is better to choose a triangular headboard, and to preserve marital fidelity, it is better to choose a rectangular one.

There are other forms of headboards:

• wavy is contraindicated for newlyweds, as it promotes peace in relationships;
• with double curves brings in family life harmony.

A headboard in the form of an arch is strictly prohibited, as it affects a person’s well-being.

Bedroom decoration according to Feng Shui

When decorating a bedroom according to Feng Shui, you must follow certain rules. None of the finishing and decorative elements should irritate or distract attention.

Choice of colors

The color design of the bedroom depends on the area in which a person wants to attract good luck:

• passion - red color has a beneficial effect on this. But remember that such a design can “drive you crazy”, even if you have a balanced character. Therefore, for such a purpose it is better to use peach or orange, which adds passion and love to the couple’s relationship. It is not recommended to use blue bedding in such a room;
• health - to strengthen it, you can choose light blue, green or lavender shades.

The color red helps to awaken passion, but there should not be too much of it

The choice of color also depends on the direction of the world to which the room is oriented:

1. The southwest and northeast are parts of the world that represent the Earth, which means that for such a room it is recommended to choose colors similar to the shade of the earth. These are terracotta, ocher and cinnamon. They are best used for wall decoration.
2. South is the main element of Fire. This focus is ideal for maintaining passion in a married couple, since the main colors are red, orange and their shades.
3. The North is directly related to the element of Water. For a bedroom, this direction is the least favorable, since it requires the use of cold shades, such as blue, blue. A reminder of water in the bedroom is undesirable.
4. The West and North-West require a metallic shade in the design of the walls.

When choosing finishing materials You need to pay attention not only to the color and presence of the pattern. If you do not want to purchase plain wallpaper, then the pattern should be small and even.

There are practically no options when choosing a color for the ceiling. For him, white is ideal, and any beams or other structures should be absent.

Feng Shui lighting: choosing chandeliers, lamps

The science of Feng Shui has its own rules in lighting design. The basic rule is sunlight should not fall on the bed. This is due to the fact that the sun gives off enormous energy and charges the bed. It will be very difficult for a person to sleep on such a charged bed. The exception is when a new relationship begins. In this case, it is simply necessary to activate the energy.

In the bedroom, completely avoid artificial lighting will not work, but it is better to use only spotlights with soft light. You can additionally place night lights near the bed. At the same time, according to the science of Feng Shui, light attracts finances, and how brighter lighting, the greater the income will be. Therefore, in this case you will have to choose.

For artificial lighting, you can choose exclusively spotlights and bedside lamps, completely abandoning the central chandelier

Textiles in the bedroom

The main rule in the bedroom is that the bed linen must be impeccable, so the bed will have to be carefully made every morning and the linen changed regularly. By the way, you need to choose it carefully. Feng Shui has its own rules for this. Prohibitions:

• no predatory animals on the bed, as they symbolize a hidden threat;
• cars, especially high-speed ones (often used in children's bedrooms) create anxiety;
• dark purely masculine colors, for example, dark blue and black, provoke heart problems and the development of depression;
• shades of water can instill in a person a sense of fear of this element;
• red color increases a person’s activity, which means there will be no proper rest (you can use such underwear during a romantic dinner).

It is better to choose high-quality underwear, made from natural materials.

You need to choose your pillows carefully. They do not always perform only a decorative function. Moreover, if you update them correctly, you can achieve very good results in arranging your own life. However, in this case, special attention is paid not so much to their color, but to the rules of behavior with her. For example, you should not cry into your favorite pillow. It is better to do this directly in the bathroom.

Curtains in the bedroom should be pastel light colors

Thanks to curtains, you can independently adjust the flow of energy in the bedroom. When choosing, it is worth considering that the bedroom is a place of rest and relaxation, so they should be light and airy, in pastel colors. The optimal shades are blue and green, but white is undesirable for curtains.

You can correct the flow of energy by covering your bedside tables with fabric.

Feng Shui decoration

There should be nothing unnecessary in the bedroom, anything that can collect dust and create chaos in the room. Therefore, you need to choose decor carefully, thinking through every detail. Any decoration is allowed, but it must meet the requirements.

You can help your desires come true by placing the decor in your bedroom in accordance with the bagua square.

Paintings, posters and other similar decorations should not contain subjects that themselves have enormous energy. Peace and tranquility should reign in the bedroom. Undesirable subjects include:

• stormy sea;
• cars, especially high-speed ones;
• wind;
• predatory or rampaging animals;
• competitions, wars and others like that.

Despite huge selection decor, some items should absolutely not be in the bedroom:

• indoor plants, because they carry powerful energy;
• artificial flowers made of silk are also prohibited because they have similar energy;
• items of technology (the science of Feng Shui prohibits keeping even a telephone in the bedroom);
• watches, especially very large sizes, but an alarm clock is allowed;
• objects with water (aquarium, decorative fountain, as well as images of water on textiles, wallpaper and paintings);
• weapons, arrows;
• objects with corners.

A must-have decorative element is real candles.

How to place a bed in the bedroom correctly - in which direction: 9 common mistakes

Have you noticed that after sleep you don’t always feel alert and rested? The problem may not be a lack of time, but rather an incorrect position of the bed. Today we will talk about how to create a relaxing atmosphere in the bedroom and how to position the bed correctly.

Connection between bed, ceiling and mirrors

Not everyone thinks about the connection between the bed, mirrors and ceiling in the bedroom. But they directly affect the energy in the room.

Lamps

A large chandelier, and even one located above the bed, has a bad effect on the psyche and prevents us from fully relaxing. This also happens due to bulky wall sconces hanging over the headboard.

It has been proven that all electrical appliances emit energy radiation, which has the most negative effect on the human biofield.

You should not use large lampshades, many pendants or ceiling lights.

Ceiling surface

To create comfortable atmosphere in the bedroom, consider a few important nuances:

• White smooth ceiling – best option for the rest room.
• The minimum distance between the ceiling and the bed is 1.5 m.
• Sockets must be located at least 1.2 m from the headboard.

Mirrors

Lively discussions never cease around mirrors and mirror surfaces, or rather their mystical properties. Many believe that mirrors are capable of storing clots of energy that affect the owner.

Recently they have gained popularity mirrored ceilings. If you decide to diversify the interior of your apartment with a similar trend, then it is better to organize it not in the bedroom. A sleeping person should not be reflected in the mirror.

How not to position your bed: 9 common mistakes

To find the maximum suitable place for a bed, it is important to understand what mistakes you can make in the process. Here are 9 of the most popular.

Photo	Description
	Mistake 1. Bed with the head of the bed facing the window If there are no other options for arranging furniture, drape the windows with thick curtains, blinds or roller models.
	Mistake 2. Bed opposite the door There is no need to place the sleeping bed opposite the entrance space. According to folk signs, lying with your feet towards the door is a bad sign, and in Orthodoxy this position is called the “dead man’s pose.”
	Mistake 3. Bed next to communications It is unacceptable to install a sleeping place near a water supply or other communications built into the wall.
	Mistake 4. Bed over the bathroom If you live in a private house and the bedroom is on the second floor, then do not make the mistake as in the photo. There is no need to organize a sleeping area above the stove or toilet.
	Mistake 5. Bed next to the radiator You should not place the bed close to heating radiators - this will not have the best effect on the quality of your sleep.
	Error 6. Mirror opposite the bed As already mentioned, lying down you should not see your reflection.
	Mistake 7. Bed in the middle of the room If the sleeping place is placed in the middle of the room, this can cause anxiety and a feeling of insecurity. It is better to install the bed with the headboard close to the wall.
	Mistake 8: TV in front of the bed Ideally, the TV screen or monitor should be located at a distance of 3 meters and at an angle.
	Mistake 9. Very soft mattress A mattress that is too soft does not contribute to sound and healthy sleep. It is better to give preference to semi-rigid models.

Orientation by cardinal directions

A working person can spend up to 50-60% of his free time in the bedroom. And the environment in the room directly affects the speed and quality of the recovery process after a hard day at work.

Space exploration is a real science. Many in the process resort to the ancient Chinese practice of Feng Shui, which is designed to harmonize energy flows and balance negative forces.

According to Feng Shui, the head of the bed should be directed towards the East. There are other options:

• a headboard facing the South-West is designed to bring happiness;
• to the South - success and health;
• to the Northeast - calm and peace of mind;
• to the North - a surge of strength;
• to the West - financial stability;
• to the North-West - a thirst for travel.

Feng Shui proponents also believe that positive energy and tranquility bring smooth lines in the interior. They remove small and unnecessary items from the bedroom, because they believe that each of them has its own energy (and not always positive).

When arranging a bedroom, you should adhere to the principles of harmony, beauty and minimalism. In the rest room it is better to use a minimum of furniture: beds, bedside tables and a couple of lamps will be more than enough.

Here are a few useful tips from designers who will help you decorate your room as comfortably as possible.

• Use pastel colors in the interior.
• Lay a soft carpet on the floor - it not only relaxes you well, but also dampens outside noise.
• Do not place the bed on the wall where the entrance to the room is located.
• It is better to choose small lampshades, with minimal and discreet decor.
• To decorate the interior, use panels, poufs, beautiful pillows or paintings.
• It is important to ensure free movement around the sleeping area and consider a free approach to the chest of drawers or bedside tables.

Paired objects (two sconces, two bedside rugs, two poufs, etc.) have a positive effect on the atmosphere.

How to arrange beds of different sizes

During the arrangement process, it is also very important to take into account the size of the sleeping bed itself. There are several nuances here.

Double bed

Double beds are distinguished by their considerable dimensions; their width is usually 1600-2000 mm. Optimal location for such furniture - the middle of the wall. The bed is placed with the headboard against the wall, providing space for approach (at least 60 cm).

Due to its size, the double bed immediately becomes the main object in the interior, which sets the style for the entire room. Don't get carried away bright design in the bedroom, it is better to keep the bed frame neutral.

According to Orthodox traditions, the bed of the spouses should be a single bed. If a couple sleeps on different mattresses, it is a symbol of separation and an unhappy marriage.

Single bed

Due to its compact size, installation does not cause any particular difficulties. In the process of arrangement, you can experiment a little with the principles of Feng Shui and orientation to the cardinal points.

If you are choosing a bed for a children's room, you can give preference to a loft bed. It allows you to make the most of space in a small room.

Baby cot

Usually such a crib is placed next to an adult. If the child sleeps in another room, the sleeping place should be installed in a corner or along the wall. Installation rules are the same as for adult beds.

Long, healthy sleep is the key to vigor and good health. Much depends on the quality of sleep, and it, in turn, is influenced external factors. The design of the bedroom, the placement of the bed, light sources, and sound insulation can either improve or worsen the quality of rest. In today’s article, we suggest you learn how to make your sleep more comfortable, calm and sound, with the help of a properly installed bed, and we will also talk about important nuances bedroom design that affects the safety and health of the vacationer.

Ideas for placing a bed in the bedroom

How to place a bed correctly? Many people asked this question, but most of the arguments from special teachings like Feng Shui were shattered when faced with the actual dimensions of the rooms allocated for the bedroom. Therefore, we decided to take a practical route and describe placement options that can be used by the general public, do not require special knowledge, and are based on pragmatic calculations.

Bed placement in a small room

We suggest you consider classic version small bedroom with one window. If the bed is double, it will take up most of the space, and the remaining free meters need to be used rationally. This can be done as follows:

• place the furniture with the headboard against a “blank” wall, i.e. the one that is further from the door does not “look” out the window;
• provide equal width passages to the sleeping area on both sides;
• curtain the windows with thick curtains so that the person sleeping on the side of the window is not disturbed by moonlight;
• if space allows, install bedside tables on both sides;
• provide each vacationer with a local light source ( table lamp, sconce, night light), which can be used at night.

With this arrangement of objects, a small room will fully correspond to its purpose - a night's rest, without distractions and unnecessary clutter. The necessary functionality in the form of passages and personal space will be preserved and will make it possible to use the bedroom without disturbing your partner.

How to place a bed in a rectangular bedroom

In a rectangular room there are several convenient options bed installation.

1. Perpendicular long wall. This arrangement of the bed will visually make the room more square, and will also leave enough space for passages on both sides, and even for furniture for individual use: cabinets, compact cabinets, laconic armchairs.
2. Diagonal placement. Not very common, but very convenient. In a narrow room it will allow you to have two passages to the bed, and use the opposite corner to effectively place the TV on the bracket. Example in the photo.
3. Installation in a niche. The niche can be specified by the layout, or created artificially. This option is especially relevant if the room serves several functions at the same time, for example, a living room and a master bedroom. Such a secluded corner individualizes the space and separates it from the active zone. But unfortunately, you will have to sacrifice two approaches to the bed, because... the bed will be surrounded on three sides by walls.

Options for placing the bed in relation to the door

Many people associate a door with a symbol of protection, so it should not be neglected when decorating a bedroom. Professional designers unanimously agree that placing the bed on the same wall as the door is undesirable. Firstly, the feeling of security is lost, and secondly, a resting person does not see the person entering, he needs to make an effort to see, which is annoying after waking up.

It is better to place the bed relative to the door:

• in the opposite corner;
• in the middle of the room, with the headboard facing the long wall;
• along the wall.

Thus, the person lying down will see the person entering without effort, which means he can control the situation and feel strong in his personal territory.

What is important to remember when arranging a bedroom

We have already figured out how to install the bed correctly, but the bedroom also needs other items that will make it more comfortable and easy to use. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the recommendations for their placement.

1. Closet. The need for this item in the bedroom is undeniable, but which location is considered correct is a topic for discussion for the whole day. The most practical, in our opinion, are the following options: installing a cabinet on an entire narrow wall in a rectangular space, or a set of sections of different depths in a square room that will not interfere with the door.

1. Armchairs. If space allows, be sure to place an armchair in the bedroom. It will make the interior more comfortable, complete, and will also have practical significance. The best place to place it is a corner by the window, or by the bed if there is no bedside table there.

1. Shelves. They are important element decor, and also increase the functionality of the room, but you must remember the placement rules: do not hang them above the headboard, do not use them on bright wall panels, photo wallpaper, or moldings.

1. Accessories. It is better to design a bedroom with a small amount decorative details so that they do not distract from sleep. For example, decorate a plain wall with one medium-sized painting, or install beautiful floor lamps that act as additional lighting and decor at the same time.

1. Electronics. You can do without it in the bedroom, but if absolutely necessary, place it away from the bed. The same applies to sockets. Electromagnetic waves near the headboard are harmful, so it is better to remove power sources from the sleeping place, or move the bed itself to a safe corner.

How not to place a bed

You already know that it is undesirable to place the bed on the same wall as the door, but are there any other restrictions that can cause discomfort to the sleeper? Yes, there are some, we offer a list of them for your reference:

• you cannot place the bed opposite the mirror (there is little rational grain in such a restriction, but a person is also not fully conscious, we have a huge layer of the subconscious, which precisely warns against mirroring sleep);
• it is undesirable to place the bed opposite the door (this also refers to the echo of the hidden subconscious; in the old days, the deceased were placed in this position, but for modern people it is a banal fear of death, veiled as a ban);
• you cannot place the bed in the center of the room, between the window and the door (everything is simple here, a passing draft will blow out heat and provoke diseases);
• It is not recommended to place the head of the bed towards the window (this position will worsen the quality of sleep, since street noise and rays can penetrate through the cracks and disturb the sleeper);

There is no uniform information on how undesirable it is to sleep on the cardinal points. Some teachings indicate that the southern direction brings harm, others - the northern one, and still others generally consider the direction of sleep to be an individual indicator depending on the person’s date of birth, which makes it impossible for two people to rest in one place. Our recommendations on this matter: you should not unambiguously perceive the incoming information, but be more guided by your feelings, sleep with your head where it is more comfortable.

To summarize, I would like to say that choosing a place for a bed is only half the battle. Sound, healthy sleep can be ensured by a combination of factors, one of which is a quality bed. offers just such samples, first-class in their design and orthopedic properties.

The placement of the bed in your bedroom is one of the most important tasks. Depending on where the bed is located, your sleep, its quality and features will change. Nowadays there are a million ways to properly place a bed in the bedroom so that a modern person can get the best sleep and at the same time feel healthy and happy. Therefore, we will now look at how general rules the situation in this room, and various variations on this topic.

General rules

How to place a bed in the bedroom in accordance with generally accepted traditions? The first task is not to place it “with your feet” in relation to the door. According to ancient legends, this can attract the spirits of the dead to your monastery. Rule number two: the head of the bed should not be under the window. Third rule: drafts and other air currents should not pass through the main sleeping area in the apartment. If the room is small and you don't know where to put the bed, then try to choose a place for it that is least occupied by other extraneous things. They can cause the accumulation of negative energy. It is also not recommended to place mirrors opposite the bed (on either side). Well, the last one general advice regarding the best way to place the bed: place it with the head of the bed facing north or east.

Choosing a place following an unconventional scientific method

Many people nowadays believe that the question of where to put a bed can best be answered by a science called dowsing. Its essence is that you can use a pendulum, frames or special sticks (they can be purchased at various stores selling candles and items for fortune-telling) to determine the most favorable place in your room. It is believed that those areas where the pendulum or other object with which you are working behaves restlessly are the least suitable for placing a bed. But if the movements of such an object become smooth and measured, or it stops oscillating altogether, then this is the best place to put the bed. The only disadvantage of this method of finding a good location for this furniture: in our small apartments it is not always possible to follow the lead of biomagnetic fields.

The sophistication of designers and the disadvantages of their work

Nowadays, people are less likely to wonder how to properly place a bed in the bedroom, but they are more often looking for the most unique interiors, invented by various designers, and embody all this at home. Among such works, there are often options when the bed is in large bedroom stands with its “feet” against the wall or is completely in the center of the room, without a backrest or any other “control points”. Perhaps this type of interior looks unique, but in reality, when you fall asleep in such a place, there is no feeling of comfort, security and coziness, no matter how soft the feather bed is. Therefore, before you find any sophisticated option on how to place a bed in a room according to the latest fashion trends, consider a few simple rules. The headboard should rest against the wall. In addition, it should have a strong and preferably high back. Also, the “head” of the bed cannot rest against a corner or even be directed there.

Foreign objects

Let's say you, strictly following all the tips and rules, have chosen a place in your home to put a bed, so that your sleep is healthy and your family relationships are prosperous. However, when filling the space further, it is also worth considering many points. It was already mentioned above that there should not be a lot of foreign objects, much less rubbish, around the bed. If we talk about this topic in more detail, we can immediately note that no things should be stored under the bed itself. If its structure is such that drawers for clothes are pulled out at the bottom, then there must certainly be legs. They will raise the bed above the floor, which will have a more favorable effect on the energy in the entire room. Also try to place tables, rather than bedside tables, on both sides of the bed. They should not have drawers in which unnecessary items and things are constantly stored.

What will we see above?

It often happens that renovations in an apartment or house have already been done, chandeliers have been hung, even every centimeter has been painted for various accessories and decorations. But after you find yourself in the home of your dreams, it turns out that the cause of quarrels and disagreements in the family is the complete incompatibility of the bed with other interior items. Therefore, now we will give examples of how to properly place a bed in a bedroom where renovations have already been made and nothing will change. Firstly, it should not be under a skylight (if it is private house). This also applies to attic floor bevels, sloping decorative elements and overhanging niches. It is advisable to place the bed away from chandeliers, sconces and lamps hanging down. Only tabletop or point light sources can be located next to it. Also, do not hang various accessories, even the most beautiful ones, above the bed itself. It is better to place them closer to the window or in the corner of the room.

Adjacent rooms in the apartment

It's no secret that the night rest room of the apartment owners should be located farthest from the main entrance. Also, the door to the bedroom should not be on the same level as the front door. Because this will mean that any energy can easily penetrate into this room. The bedroom should be the quietest room in the house, remote and calm. Well, in an ensemble with the right environment this rule will give you the expected result, and you yourself will notice how the quality of your sleep and overall mood will improve. In all this, we can mention a couple more rules. The bed in the bedroom should not be placed under the wall of the toilet or bathroom. In this case, proximity to pipes and plumbing is extremely undesirable. The same goes for ductwork, fireplaces and kitchens. If you live on two or more floors, make sure that there is no stove directly under (or above) the bed.

Bedrooms with an "appendix"

Even apartments often have bedrooms that have a small “appendix”. If it is very small, then a chest of drawers or a cabinet is placed there, and if it is a little larger, then the bed seems to be asking itself to be in this place. In fact, in terms of energy, such a corner is very poor, and therefore you will have no rest there. It's better to fill this "appendix" with niches, bookcase or other interior items, but there definitely shouldn’t be a bed there. Please note that this rule applies even if you have studio apartment, and the only bedroom has to be shared with the child. Neither his bed nor yours should be placed there.

Feng Shui of sleep

Nowadays, installing a bed according to Feng Shui is a very simple task. There is a lot of information that the Chinese sages shared with us, and we decided to tell you their basic rules. There is nothing complicated in them, so let’s re-read them briefly and in order and stick to them:

• The distance from a sleeping person to an outlet or switch must be at least 1.5 meters.
• Should not be above the headboard large paintings, lamps and massive accessories.
• Keep the number of plants in the bedroom to a minimum.
• Save aquariums and fireplaces for living rooms. They have nothing to do in the bedroom.
• If you have to sleep and work in the same room, then make sure that the table and chair are not visible from the bed.
• Sharp corners of furniture, and even more so decorative beams, should not be directed at the bed with their bevels.

Very few square meters

Modern apartments do not please their residents large spaces, on which you can embody any design ideas. A common problem people is not just a small, but a narrow bedroom. How to place a bed in such a room that you can follow all the rules given above and at the same time preserve free space? First you need to compare the width of the bed with the size of the room. If you manage to place the sleeping place lengthwise, and you have at least 70 centimeters left on each side, this is the most best option. If the passages are too narrow, then we place the bed across, moving it as far as possible towards the far wall (but maintaining a distance of 70 cm). It is not recommended to place wardrobes and chests of drawers in small bedrooms.

Rooms for kids

An important question is how to place a bed in a children's room. In principle, in this case all the above rules come into force, and something else is added to them. The child sleeps alone, so the “protection” that the walls provide must be doubled. Place his crib in a corner so that it is surrounded by two walls at once. Do not forget also that the baby should be able to see the door to his room from the bed, otherwise his sleep will be very restless. Do not hang toys or rattles directly above the headboard. Place them a meter from the bed on both sides. Also, do not forget that when your baby wakes up, he should see something beautiful. Lie down on his bed yourself and inspect the front of further improvements.

Many owners of such premises wonder how best to place a bed in the bedroom. Its favorable location influences a good rest, which will be without nightmares.
The article suggests that you familiarize yourself with where it is better to place a bed in the bedroom.

A person’s well-being depends on where to put it. According to Feng Shui, a person's head should be positioned in a direction favorable to his well-being.
In the matrimonial bedroom you need to navigate by the best place for the spouse.
The location of the head of the bed depends on:

• The ideal position is to head north. Then the magnetic lines of the Earth will pass along the human body.
  In this case, he receives material stability, peace of mind, good health, and in case of illness, a quick recovery.
