The wrong arrangement of feng shui furniture can affect the health and mood of family members. And if there is a place for emotional outbursts and problems in the house, then it is worth thinking about rearranging furniture and turning to ancient Chinese science. The idea of the correct arrangement of furniture is especially relevant in the relaxation and sleeping area - in the bedroom. In the article, we will tell you how to choose and place a Feng Shui bed correctly so that peace and comfort reign in the family.
What does it symbolize?
Thousands of years of Chinese practice is popular all over the world. Feng Shui is the science of living in harmony with the outside world, based on the balance of Yin and Yang. Both elements are complementary. Yang symbolizes work, money and activity. And Yin is calmness, rest and static. And if you mix Yin and Yang in the same room, then energetic chaos will occur. Therefore, in the living room and in the kitchen, the interior and design should be based on Yang, and in the bedroom and in the nursery, Yin energy should be favorable.
A feng shui bed determines a person's well-being. And the interaction of forces and energy depends on how the space in the recreation area is organized. But not all furniture is suitable for healthy sleep.
When choosing a bed, you must take into account the size, color and shape of the bed.

Shapes, sizes and colors
It is undesirable to choose a round bed, it is believed that it carries negative energy. Also, water mattresses should be replaced with classic ones. The optimal choice for feng shui would be a bed of 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 the color symbolizes financial well-being.
- Pink the palette helps to improve family relationships.
- Red color promotes quick and balanced decision-making in complex issues. But it is not recommended to often sleep on bedding of a red shade, an excess of bright color can cause aggression and quarrels.
- Green the palette will add calmness to the bedroom interior.
- Orange tones will contribute to a good mood.
- Don't use dark or saturated blue colors in the interior of the bedroom.

Any elements associated with the sea should not be present in the bedroom. These can be paintings with water, figurines, fountains, or an aquarium with fish.
It is believed that the water element "washes away" the calm energy.
Location
In Feng Shui, the bed should be against the wall. Often, designers prefer to place upholstered furniture away from the walls. For example, in a one-room apartment, the sofa, which also serves 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 is not supported with at least one wall, then the energy in the room is chaotic and disordered. Therefore, the head of the bed must be in contact with the wall. But the passage to the double bed must remain free on both sides, otherwise the couple runs the risk of parting. In addition, the spouse sleeping near the wall will feel pressure and restriction of freedom.
Convertible multifunctional furniture is not suitable for bedroom interiors. 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 argued that a person himself can influence the flow of energy, creating order or chaos in a room. Calm and muted colors should prevail in the recreation area. Do not overload the sleeping and love area with a lot of furniture. And do not store any things, suitcases or garbage under the bed.
It is also important that the windows in the bedroom are always clean, and at night, be sure to close them with curtains.
If you live in a separate private home, make sure that the seating area is not close to the kitchen or bathroom. Even the door leading directly from the bedroom to the bathroom has a negative feng shui interpretation. The work area in an 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.

Direction
The most favorable directions in feng shui are north and east. But on the axes of other cardinal points you can also place a bed.
- Headboard to the north promotes intuition, financial well-being and good health.
- Bed with headboard to the East will help get rid of insomnia and bring positive energy, success and positiveness into life.
- For children, adolescents and students, it is recommended to place the bed with a headboard to the north-east. Rest in this area has a beneficial effect on studies and scientific activities.
- Sleep with your head southeast contributes to the fulfillment of desires and the achievement of goals.
- Sleep with your feet to the north helps to build relationships with others.
- Southwest the side has a beneficial effect on family relationships and helps to strengthen the marriage.
- Sleep on the bed by the headboard to the west promotes well-being.
- Recreation in the northwest zone help get rid of depression and apathy.
There is also an opinion that when choosing a direction for a bed, the date of birth must be taken into account. So, people born in the winter months are advised to put the bed headboard to the south. For those born in the spring, it is better to put the bed with the headboard to the west. For those born in summer, it will be more comfortable to sleep with their heads to the north, and for autumn people - to the east.

How to put a baby bed?
In Feng Shui, two-level beds are not encouraged, since a person sleeping on the lower tier will feel energetic and psychological pressure from above. This can lead to behavioral changes and mood swings. Therefore, it is recommended to put children's beds in one room in one row, and not on top of each other. Also single beds can be installed in the corners of the room.
Often for the children's room, parents purchase bed linen with bright drawings or favorite characters. A rich palette is more related to Yang energy, so you should not overdo it with such colors.
You should also not choose bedding for your child with the image of marine life, predatory animals, motorcycles and cars.

Prohibitions
The bedroom is the most important place in the apartment, so you should not make mistakes when choosing furniture. And so that a beautiful and comfortable bed is a guarantee of a calm and deep sleep, there are a few simple points to keep in mind that should be avoided.
- The bedroom area should not be located above the kitchen or below the bathroom.
- The head of the bed should not be located towards the open space of the apartment or towards the window. The sleeping place must necessarily rest on a solid wall. Then there will be less irritability, quarrels and arguments in the house.
- Bunk structures with the bed raised to the ceiling also have a detrimental effect on the energy in the bedroom.
- The bed should not be in line with the door. The flow of Yang energy will sharply burst into the Yin zone, which will make the family feel haste, lack of time and patience, or an inability to think soberly. If there is no other way to place the bed, then it is necessary to put a small barrier between the door and the bed. A chest of drawers or curtains can be used as such an obstacle.
- The bed should not be reflected in the mirror - ideally, the mirror should be removed from the sitting area. During sleep and relaxation, a person is especially vulnerable to outside influence, and mirrors are often used for various rituals to communicate with the other world. Also, if a sleeping couple in love is reflected in the mirror, this adversely affects the relationship, which can lead to the appearance of third parties.
- The TV opposite the bed is also a kind of portal to another world, so it should be abandoned in the bedroom.
- Do not place two single mattresses on a double bed - this will provoke separation and disunity. In a couple's daily life, there will be arguments, disagreements and problems.
- If you place the bed with your feet against the door, then the energy of tranquility will quickly flow out of the bedroom. Every morning you will feel tired and nervous.
- Do not pinch the bed on both sides with bulky items such as cabinets or beams. Low bedside tables can be placed on either side of the headboard.
- Remove unnecessary items from the bedroom: ticking clocks, additional electrical appliances or exercise equipment. Pictures, photographs of relatives, portraits of single women should also not be placed next to the bed. Indoor plants are recommended to be removed away from the recreation area.
- Give preference to dim lighting in the seating area. Spotlights will help to solve this problem; they will be an ideal replacement for a bulky chandelier above the bed. Near the headboard, you can place wall sconces or bedside lamps.

- A bed with a large back has a beneficial effect on the aura of a sleeping person. The headboard can have soft upholstery, different curves and shapes. The main thing is the absence of metal cold parts, which adversely affect the vital energy flows.

- A beautiful chandelier with transparent details, from a feng shui point of view, is capable of a lot. But you shouldn't place it above the bed. The light should remain subdued in the bedroom so that Yang energy does not prevail.
