Feng Shui: Bedroom Part 2 - Placement of Bed

In my previous blog post "Feng Shui: Bedroom Part 1 - Choosing a Bed Frame", I shared some basic Feng Shui[1] of bed frame. That is just one of the many aspects of a good bedroom Feng Shui. Examples of other aspects are placement of bed, lightings, bedroom items, colour of bedroom, etc.[2]

In this blog post, I will focus on the placement of bed[3]. As the saying goes, pictures speak a thousand words.  Hence, I am extremely fond of the 3rd referenced website listed under References below because of its illustrations which helped to demystify or decode the Feng Shui jargon.

Before I proceed to provide the big picture on placement, do note that there are times whereby a particular room is not suited to be a bedroom. For such cases, you may either choose to use another room as a bedroom or overcome the issue(s). I will blog about how to overcome the issues in another blog post.

Now for the big picture:
  • Ensure that the bed is accessible from both sides.
  • Ensure that the headboard is placed against solid (wall).
  • Avoid having the bed facing any door (especially toilet door) or mirror.
  • Avoid having roof beam(s) above or wall beam(s) within the bed's length.
  • Avoid leaning the headboard against a wall attached to kitchen, toilet or altar.
  • Avoid placing the bed under/above staircase, stove (kitchen) or toilet.
  • Avoid placing electronic sleep distractors (TV, sound systems and phones) within the bedroom.
  • Avoid placing the air-conditioner or fanciful decorations above the bed.
As I have mentioned before, Feng Shui is pretty logical and scientific. Among the above listed, it is not hard to see why (for example) it is advisable to avoid placing electronic sleep distractors within the bedroom. They basically either disrupt or deprive us of our sleep.

Having said that, I guess we could probably leave the clock out of this category (so as to avoid being late for work/school!).

Hope this helps to improve your sleep quality (and hence good health) through the suggested bed placements.
