The bed is where we rest and relax after a long tiring day, it is a symbol of comfort and happiness. Therefore, if the bed violates feng shui taboos, it can worsen the family’s fate over time.
There are 2 absolute taboos when placing the bed:
The head of the bed faces the window
In feng shui, the window is where the air circulates from outside to inside and vice versa. That’s why if the head of the bed is facing the window, it will cause the energy of the homeowner to escape, making sleep shallow and negatively affecting health. In addition, the bad air currents that enter the house will directly confront your body, negatively affecting health and fortune.
Besides the feng shui factor, external factors such as noise, light, unpleasant smells from the outside, etc. also greatly affect the quality of your sleep. During rainy and windy weather, rainwater can splatter onto the bed, if not dealt with in a timely manner, the bedding can become moldy. Therefore, it is best not to place the head of the bed facing the window.
The head of the bed faces directly towards the door
Sleeping with the bed facing the door is a taboo in bedroom feng shui, causing the sleeper to encounter health problems.
Specifically, having the head of the bed facing the door can cause headaches or even nightmares.
If the door is directly opposite the middle of the bed (equivalent to the person’s waistline), it will cause digestive problems. Meanwhile, if the door is opposite the foot of the bed, it can cause leg diseases such as joint problems, etc. Therefore, when placing the bed, avoid it being opposite the door.
In addition, when placing the bed, pay attention to the following:
A horizontal beam should not be placed above the bed
Having a horizontal beam above the bed will definitely make you feel compressed, under pressure, causing sleeplessness and worry. Therefore, this is considered a major feng shui taboo in the bedroom that you should avoid.
Avoid placing the bed close to the kitchen
The kitchen is the area for cooking, if you place the bed right next to the kitchen, your health will also be affected. Because the smell of food and accumulated grease will fly into the room, sticking to pillows and causing the occupants to be prone to illness, easily irritable, not conducive to work. And if your house is already built that way, the best solution is to always close the bedroom door when entering and exiting to prevent bad energy from entering the room.
Avoid placing the bed in sharp corners
According to feng shui beliefs, objects with sharp corners carry negative energy, harmful to the homeowner. Therefore, you should avoid placing the bed in positions with sharp corners directly pointed at it to avoid attracting bad luck.
Avoid placing the bed under a horizontal beam
The proper arrangement of the bed is to avoid choosing a position directly below a horizontal beam. Although it is a good orientation for the bed, it will make the homeowner feel heavy, as if something is pressing down on them, causing nightmares and restless sleep, which can reduce health.
Avoid leaning on the wall of the toilet
The toilet is a place with harmful gases to health, so avoid placing the bed next to the wall of the toilet.
Both sides of the bed should have empty space
If it’s a couple’s bed, this is very good because it creates a balanced flow of air. This also signifies a harmonious and equal relationship between husband and wife, where no one is suppressed by the other. Additionally, it is convenient to move around and avoid stepping over each other.
Avoid placing a mirror facing or directly reflecting the bed
The mirror is a very sensitive object in decoration, especially in the bedroom. Simply because the mirror reflects very strong energy, which is not good for health. For example, if you wake up in the middle of the night and see your reflection in the mirror, you will surely be frightened.
