Feng Shui bed: location in the apartment

A person spends almost a third of his life sleeping. If this time is converted into hours, then it is approximately from 15 to 30 years. For a full and useful sleep, which will compensate for physical and emotional costs, it is necessary to correctly arrange pieces of furniture, including sleeping area.

Modern trends - to adhere to the Chinese teachings of Feng Shui in the process of arranging furniture - are growing noticeably. Let's look into these subtleties and see where it is better to put the bed.

Bed placement according to Feng Shui: choosing a shape and direction

The room can accommodate a double and a single bed. Their location depends on the number of beds:

A single bed is installed in the corner area.
Double - requires access from both sides. It would be good if there were nightstands or bedside tables installed on both sides of the bed.
Not worth buying for the bedroom bunk beds. The upper tier will psychologically “crush” the person sleeping below. This will definitely affect the quality of your sleep.

A high headboard by the bed is a guarantee of psychological protection. It is recommended to purchase such beds for insecure and depressed individuals.

The headboard can have a variety of shapes and styles. For example:

Photo	Form
	Option 1. Square It is considered to be suitable for busy individuals who are very passionate about career growth.
	Option 2. Round Psychologically increases a person’s status in society: at work, at school and among friends.
	Option 3. Wavy Designed for couples in love, it helps to strengthen the sensual connection. This option is also good for creative people.
	Option 4. Sink Increases the chance of conception and birth of children.

In which feng shui zone should the bed be placed?

There are only two ways to arrange a sleeping place indoors according to this teaching:

Description

Method 1. According to the cardinal directions

Universal location - east or north.

If you place the bed with its “head” to the northern part, then intuition will noticeably develop.

Bedding in purple shades will help increase energy.

A bed on the eastern side of the world will bring additional energy, success and positive life.

Method 2. Calculation Gua numbers

This number allows you to determine the personal energy of a particular person.

Women also add the last two numbers of the year of birth, to which the number five is added.

Please note that two-digit numbers are added until a single number is obtained.

Calculating Gua numbers helps you choose the right location for your sleeping bed.

The above scheme used to determine the personal Kua number is suitable for persons born before the year two thousand. Those born after this year define the number a little differently:

Women add six to the amount received.
Men subtract the resulting amount from nine.

The head of the bed is installed in that part of the world that corresponds to the obtained figures of human energy:

North: 1, 3, 4 and 9.
Northeast and northwest: 2, 6, 7 and 8.
South: 1, 3, 4, and 9.
Southeast: 1, 3, 4 and 9.
Southwest: 2, 6, 7 and 8.
East: 1, 3, 4 and 9.
West: 6, 7 and 8.

Bed direction according to Feng Shui. Favorable directions

Today, designers have defined some rules that relate to the Japanese teachings of Feng Shui:

Photo	Description
	Rule 1 You should not install a mirror above your heads or in the ceiling. The sleeping area must NOT be reflected!
	Rule 2 You should not install the bed so that your feet are located opposite the exit. For many peoples of the world, this is a bad omen.
	Rule 3 Do not install the bed perpendicular to the doors. If you cannot install the bed any other way, be sure to close the doors while you sleep. You can also use a canopy, screen and other partitions.
	Rule 4 Do not place the bed between shelving and cabinets. It is better to use low chests of drawers or bedside tables. Sharp corners of other pieces of furniture should not “look” at the sleeping person.
	Rule 5 It is prohibited to hang lighting fixtures above the bed. For additional lighting, it is better to use devices installed on the bedside tables.

Feng Shui sleep

Sleep, according to the teachings of Feng Shui, should be deep and uninterrupted. Don't neglect dark curtains in the room. Even a small amount of light will negatively affect your night's sleep.

The color scheme of walls, ceilings and pieces of furniture also influences a good night's sleep. Fits most favorably with color solutions dark colors interspersed with light, but not bright, shades. Black and white or white and brown shades are great for a bedroom. You should not choose black and red bed linen.

Four animal method

The fundamental theory of ancient teaching promotes four animals:

Photo	Description
	Black turtle Protection, stability, support and help. It can be installed in the garden or among indoor flowers. Direction - north.
	Animal 2. Green dragon Installed on the left side of the door to a room or house. These are well-being, position in society, financial wealth, authority and power. In the bedroom you can put a rug with the image of this animal.
	White Tiger This beast carries protection from negative energy. Paintings with a tiger will decorate the bedroom and protect its owner.
	Crimson Phoenix Brings harmony and happiness to the house. Often talks about the possibility of receiving unexpected help. Phoenixes can be peacocks, flamingos and even a rooster.

How to place a bed according to Feng Shui relative to the cardinal direction

An ancient teaching says that the direction of a sleeping person’s head must be determined correctly.

You can use simple method- see where the sun rises and sets. For more precise definition you need to use a compass.

For example, it is good for students to sleep with their heads facing northeast. It is this direction that will promote active brain activity.
To quickly achieve your goals, you need to sleep towards the southeast. By adding elegant paraphernalia, such as a canopy, you can attract financial wealth.
People who strive for active communication should go to bed with their heads to the south. If a person has poor communication skills, it is worth moving the bed to this area.
The western side of the world will significantly improve creative skills and improve human health.
The southwest will help in strengthening your personal life. With the addition of pink bedding, your soulmate will be found faster. Scientists claim that hanging a picture at the head of the bed will activate harmony in relationships.
Placing the bed with its head facing north-west will help solve problems associated with loneliness and depression.

According to Japanese teaching, you should absolutely not use red bedding. It will activate your brain, as a result you will not be able to get a full night's sleep and rest.

Feng Shui placement of a child's bed

The arrangement of children's beds according to the rules of teaching guarantees harmony in space. It is important to determine not only the location of the bed, but also the location of the children's room in the house:

Central location provokes children's egoism.
Opposite my parents' bedroom - psychological pressure from the parents.
Opposite the entrance doors - it will contribute to energy leakage.
Opposite the kitchen or bathroom - it will negatively affect the mental and physical development of the child.

It’s good if the child’s room is bright. If possible, it should have two full windows. You should not form partitions or projections inside the room.

The room should be level, it is better if it has a square or rectangular shape. There is no need to get carried away with installing podiums or ceilings of different levels.

The maximum amount of natural light will stimulate the flow of positive energy.

Chinese sages were sensitive to sleeping places:

The bed must match the height of the child. You should not buy a sleeping place that will grow with your child.
A void should not be allowed to form at the headboard.
The sleeping bed should be comfortable, comfortable, durable. It is advisable to use environmentally friendly materials, such as natural wood.
Do not hang shelves or toys above the bed.
It is not allowed to place mirrors, paintings or cabinets near the bed. This is due to the fact that energy flows pass around and under the bed.

Bedroom for two children

The basic rule concerns the inadmissibility of using bunk beds. I note that the sleeping child on top will be deprived of any energy flows, and the person sleeping below will be psychologically depressed by the artificial ceiling.

These factors will significantly affect the self-realization and behavior of the younger generation. The best options for bed locations would be:

Photo	Description
	View 1. Close to the wall This will provide energy protection.
	View 2. Diagonally The diagonal must be respected front door.

It is recommended to install beds in such a way that the sleeper can see the front door and everyone entering it. If this option is not possible, then it is worth installing a mirror in the room so that the front door is reflected in it. In addition, the child should not sleep with his feet facing out.

Conclusion

Ancient Japanese teaching allows you to bring positive energy, peace and prosperity to any home. An important element There is a bed in the house, the choice of its location will allow a person to become a full-fledged and independent person. This applies not only to the sleeping bed of an adult, but also to a child.

At the heart of this ancient science lies balance and harmony. The eight cardinal directions, combined with traditional materials, symbolically help to reveal the secrets of the teaching. Simply put, it is landscape and interior design with energy in mind.

Designing your dream space

Today we will discuss the applied aspect - the location of the bedroom according to Feng Shui and the features of its furniture. But first, let's briefly look at the fundamental principles.

Firstly, for work we will need a floor plan, a compass and a table (Bagua grid) as in the figure.

It is noteworthy that schematically the north is aligned with the entrance. That is, in the image south is at the top.

So, if everything is ready, let's combine geographical position bedrooms with a net and let's get started.

Bed location

The right bedroom according to Feng Shui creates not only strong relationships within the family, but also affects all areas of life. Let's start with the bed. The mystery of love takes place here, we rest and recover here. This is a territory of comfort and safety.

It is best to place the bed with the head of the bed against the wall. It is advisable to purchase bedside tables and tables without sharp corners and in height - below the level of the mattress.

It is important to remember a few rules.
. The “feet to the door” position is unacceptable, this is the pose of a dead man.
. Access should be clear on both sides so that spouses can approach safely.
. Placing a bed in the flow path from the door to the window is bad, but if this is the only option, then you need to place a crystal in the path. It will help in dissipating energy throughout the room. It is best to place it on the windowsill.
. Also try to keep the toilet at the side and not at the feet or head.

So, in the arrangement task you are given: “bedroom, Feng Shui, bed location.” In this case, the latter will play a primary role. Therefore, you should not neglect simple rules. climbing plants can also help in creating the necessary branches in the flows of Qi.

A bed, according to tradition, is better made of wood than metal. The latter will interfere with the free flow of positive vibrations.

Select the backrests as follows:
. wave - for creative professions;
. oval - business;
. rectangular - the remaining spheres.

According to Feng Shui, the color of the bedroom should be done in Yin shades, then we will talk about this in more detail.

Designing harmony

Once we have decided on the design of the bed and its approximate location, we will proceed directly to organizing the room. Here you will need to take several steps in sequence.

Firstly, they advise you to endure absolutely everything. If you seriously decide to have a Feng Shui bedroom, the rules will be as follows:

We decide on the choice of color, combinations of shades (we will carry out Painting works or wallpaper).
Decide on floor covering(linoleum, carpet, or maybe there will be a big fluffy carpet).
The next step is to place large furniture (bed, wardrobe) on the plan.
Then we select smaller objects (table, bedside tables). They can come as a set if you buy a set, or you can create an interior based on your tastes.
The final step is to select accessories, souvenirs and other cute things to enliven the space. Remember: according to Feng Shui, a mirror is prohibited in the bedroom because there are several restrictions associated with it. Next we will figure this out and learn how to work with this taboo.

Let's get started

Ideally, start organizing with empty box- floor, walls, ceiling. Or, if you don’t want such a drastic approach, do a thorough cleaning. All rubbish must be mercilessly thrown away. Our task is to create the most spacious room possible.

Now let's go through the palette. According to Feng Shui, the color of the bedroom is selected based on several points of view (decide which one is closer to you).

According to a person's Bagua number.
. Planning for the future (we want to bring something).

Chinese tradition divides people not only by eastern zodiac, they also have their own numerology. If you're interested in understanding your numbers, you can find a ton of information online.

It is not recommended to focus on this. It is difficult to organize harmony in the future, because you bring it everywhere. It’s better to create comfort, complete everything, and then compare. You will be surprised how intuitively you can do everything accurately! And the number will simply confirm this.

So, colors are divided into Yin and Yang. The first ones are more muted, pastel, calm. They form a relaxation area, fenced off from the hustle and bustle and daily routine. You don’t want to leave a room in such colors and plunge into a whirlpool of worries. The second ones are aggressive, active, exciting. They are aimed more at creating accents than at the overall picture.

To improve energy in the bedroom, Feng Shui recommends sticking to quiet colors - terracotta, ultramarine, dark greens or golden shades will be quite acceptable. This selection helps to create comfort and isolate yourself from the everyday routine.

Important Notes on Accents

You can add brightness not only by making an acid-colored wall or placing an unusual plant in an incredible pot. Properly arranged and hung small items cope with this task.

This is where paintings in the bedroom can help. Feng Shui in this regard limits only their content. Sad and lonely images are not recommended. It’s better to have steamy ones, sparkling with positivity, or calm, neutral ones.

By the way, if you bring an image of an elephant’s head from the East or buy it in a souvenir shop, then they hang it only with the trunk up. That is, if it is lowered down, the canvas just needs to be turned over.

Sansevieria, geranium, begonia, spathiphyllum and chlorophytum. No, these are not swear words Latin. These are the names of plants that are allowed in Feng Shui. Flowers in the bedroom are generally strictly prohibited. Firstly, this is Yang energy, they grow and introduce imbalance into peace. In addition, at night, most representatives of the flora absorb oxygen. The list of permitted ones is mainly presented only by non-compliance with this rule. They develop slowly and produce oxygen.

It is important to remind you that dirt in all senses is unacceptable in this room. Therefore, you will have to wipe the leaves more often. The number of flowers is no more than two.

Hunting trophies, images and figurines of wild animals also contain active energy. Therefore, we put such things in other rooms.

Fountains, streams, an aquarium and other manifestations of the aquatic environment, including pictures, have absolutely no place in our recreation area. It is believed to lead to insomnia and health problems. You can only have a carafe or glass of water at night.

Also, according to Feng Shui, a mirror in the bedroom is unacceptable in several cases:

It should not reflect the bed (this can lead to cheating).
. If it stands opposite a window or door, this is bad. It turns out that the Qi energy is reflected back from it, without benefiting the room.
. If the mirror is part of the furniture, it is better to hang it up at night or put a bed with curtains.

Only in one case is this element acceptable in this room - if the door is hidden from the person lying on the bed. It should always be visible, according to tradition.

Feng Shui bedroom: rules for activating zones

Let's start with the fact that you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket. Once you start studying this science, you will learn that the Bagua grid is applied both to the entire apartment and to each individual room. So, in both cases we act based on the situation, and do not strive to squeeze out the maximum. There is no need to activate all zones in all rooms. Each of them has its own functions, so we start only from them.

What is our bedroom intended for? Rest, sleep, recovery, intimate relationships, trust, intimacy, harmony and peace. This is the personal space of one person or a couple, a nest.

Now, based on this data, we will deal with the priority and irrelevant areas. Do I need to activate the career zone here? Hardly. Her energy is Yang, aggressive. Strengthening will only bring chaos to your life and relationships.

Which zones to activate? The advice is family, love, health, wealth and creativity. You just have to take a minimalist approach to this. And in general, the fewer things that collect dust in your apartment, the better.

Current trivia

So, let's start with the first one - the family sphere. It is located in the east, and therefore everything wooden is close to it. In particular, the talisman is bamboo. Green color. Here you can put or hang photographs of loved ones and relatives. It is important that the picture should only contain living and living people. Those about whom we want to keep memories belong to another area of life. A picture of a forest or a wooden figurine will do just fine for activation. Just don’t put sharp, metal or dead objects here (herbarium, stuffed animal, etc.)

Love is the feeling that many strive for, but it flies away like the bird of luck. Let's see if it's so difficult to make friends with him. The mascot of this zone is mandarin ducks; a pair of geese, doves or butterflies are also suitable. The color is preferably yellow. To activate, you can post your wedding photo or a captured moment of a happy family life. The direction of the world is southwest, here you can also put a bedside table where things related to love affairs will be stored; underwear, toys, magazines.

Singles are advised to lay out valentines in this part of the room, Stuffed Toys, photos of couples in love. According to Feng Shui, you can create a future family space in the bedroom.

The health zone is the center. It is characterized by the element earth, yellow and golden colors. Talisman - peaches. The only thing important condition- a lot of light. It would be better if there was a chandelier with crystals, which would give us a lot of reflections. Wooden bed, if it partially covers this sector, it will be ideal. Just keep the space uncluttered and maximize lighting.

Wealth belongs to the southeast. Its colors are green and red. For the bedroom alone, there are not many items that can be used to enhance this area. A figurine of Hotei with coins, a decoration in the form of fish or an accessory made of precious stones. There will also be a sufficient amount of light here during the daytime.

Creativity, which also includes children, will help improve or revive feelings. Activated zone contributes to introducing diversity and new trends into family life. The color of this segment is white. And items that are perfect for it are children's crafts, figurines of patron deities, and netsuke.

This is what a feng shui bedroom might look like. Photo shows modern approach, harmonious colors and a lot of space.

Redevelopment or cosmetic renovation?

In general, we dealt with the bedroom as a separate room. Now let's fit it into the apartment. If we compare its plan with the Bagua grid, then our rest room will require different zones, depending on the needs of the owners.

The north promotes relaxation, especially if you have insomnia or nervous work.
North-West is for those who have already realized themselves and who need a good family life.
Northeast - for active people.
The West is suitable for lovers of romance. However, this will be detrimental to your career.
In a bedroom in the south you will not have a great rest, but your personal life will be at its best.
The southeast will help you strive for success and achievements.
The southwest will give serenity and comfort.
The East will be useful for establishing a family.

This data will help you if you do it from scratch. Build a house or completely redesign an apartment. Otherwise, you will have to get out. In addition to what we have created with Feng Shui in the bedroom, a few additional tips will come in handy.

Avoid:

Neighborhood with kitchen,
. places above the garage or utility room, above, below or opposite the bathroom.

If the situation turns out to be unfavorable, a screen will help you. Use it to isolate yourself from unnecessary objects. It is also suitable in an apartment where the bedroom and living room are combined. Just don’t use a closet for this - it will crush you energetically.

Once again about the bed

When choosing this piece of furniture, some Feng Shui experts in the bedroom recommend taking a responsible approach to its size. Dimensions of 140 cm x 2 meters are considered unfavorable. Positive - 150 x 220, 190 x 220, 220 x 220 and 220 x 240 cm.

In addition, based on the circulation of Qi energy under the bed, it must be on legs. Cleanliness is always necessary under the bed; no boxes or things should be there. The only thing that can be in it is bedding.

It is also important that only one mattress fits, a double one. Anyway. By Feng Shui standards, the bedroom and bed are the zone of intimate life of partners who form one whole: a happy family, a unit of society. If these are composed beds or a pair of mattresses on one, there will be no talk of any unity.

And if a person lives alone, then, oddly enough, he is also recommended to set aside a place for his future soulmate. They even advise emptying a shelf in the closet.
So treat yourself, buy some amazing, big, comfortable beds and enjoy them!

A few examples

As they say, it is better to see once than to hear (or read) a hundred times. Let's see a couple finished projects. Maybe you can find interesting ideas for the interiors of your rooms.

So, the bedroom is according to Feng Shui. Photo 1.

The author of this composition created a space of love for a family who wants to have a child. The selection of colors and materials is designed to improve fertility.

Photo 2. Such an interior can help tune in to creativity, support, and personal development. As you can see, there is a lot of space - they generally try not to clutter the bedrooms.

Photo 3. Muted earth tones: red, yellow, orange. Health, well-being, peace of mind.

Photo 4. Take a closer look at the accessories, figurines, and evaluate the combination of shades that make up the whole composition.

Maybe this is the solution for you?

I was prompted to write this article by several calls today and a comment on the post below.

When I am invited to a consultation on an apartment, I usually ask what state the room is in - at the planning stage, renovation, or whether everything has already been put in its place and the renovation has been done. And if it is done, are the owners ready to contribute what? Very often a consultant is called when it is already very difficult to do something. Why?

The fact is that there are several key points in the house that determine the state of energy in it, and, therefore, the life of those who live in the apartment. This entrance door, stove And bed. And, if renovations in the apartment have already been done, and the residents are not ready to change anything, then calling a Feng Shui consultant is practically a waste of money. After all, Feng Shui is not about arranging accessories. The consultant may suggest, for example, rearranging the bed or stove.

After all, if we cannot radically move the front door in an already purchased apartment, then it is very important to install the stove and bed correctly.

Plate, since we cook the food we eat with it every day, it affects the health of family members. Very often, the incorrect position of the slab causes chronic diseases, difficulties with conception and pregnancy. It is clear that if, when the consultant arrives, the stove has already been integrated into the kitchen front, its rearrangement causes additional hassle and expense. But even in this situation, there are compromise solutions - you can not cook on the stove, but buy a hotplate, or cook on a double boiler, convection oven, etc., installing them correctly.

WITH bed often more difficult. Especially if the apartment has already been renovated, built spacious wardrobe and the bed fits into the interior alone possible way. Even in big houses You have to see small bedrooms in which it is difficult to find a good place for a bed: on one side there is a window, on the other there is a door, on the third there is a sloping wall. And it turns out that, having finally built the house of their dreams, the owners suddenly begin to quarrel or get sick. After all, a person spends 6-8 hours every day in sleep (and, therefore, on the bed)! And the energy of the place of the bed and its direction is literally “absorbed” by him during sleep.

How to find a good place for a bed and is it difficult?

Firstly, and even non-specialists can do this, it’s worth following the rules schools of forms. Yes, yes, exactly those described in many books. The influence of space forms on a person is difficult to overestimate! Here are some simple rules:

1. The bed must have good strong back And put the head of the head against the wall. This is necessary both to create a sense of security and to ensure that the bed is fully supplied with the necessary energy. For the same reason, do not place the bed with its head towards the window, as in the pictures below, (even if the curtains are thick), under a skylight, in the middle of the room, or in a corner with its head. Even if your “best” direction is in the corner, you shouldn’t put the head of your bed in the corner!

2. Above the bed, and especially its headboard nothing should hang over. Beams, sconces, shelves, paintings in a massive frame - all this has no place above the bed. Especially in the nursery. If the room is small and there is a chandelier above the bed, buy a plate chandelier or one with horns pointing upward.

3. Do not place the bed with the headboard under sloping low hanging ceiling, this is unfavorable for the psyche.

4. The bed of an adult, especially the bed on which a couple sleeps, should be arranged two-pronged approach(although sometimes this can be neglected if the position of the bed in the corner is better, for example, according to Flying Stars). Child under 12 years old It’s good to sleep in a corner when the bed is adjacent to the walls on both sides - this way the feeling of security will be higher.

5. The bed should not stand in a draft between the door and the window. In any case, if there is no other place for a bed in the bedroom, you should close the door tightly and curtain the window at night.

6. It is advisable to have a lying person saw the door to the room. If the door is behind the head or too close to the head, sleep will be restless, especially for a child.

7. If the bedroom has a massive wardrobe, there is a column or a corner of the room protrudes, try to place the bed so that the angle did not indicate the sleepers.

8. A very common rule is that you should not place the bed so that it is reflected in the mirror. It is also advisable to adhere to it.

9. The head of the bed should preferably not be adjacent to the wall. toilet or bathroom- it is important that no pipes pass directly behind the headboard. Very often we had to deal with situations where there was a child’s bed next to the toilet and he was constantly sick. As soon as the bed is moved to another place, the person’s health improves. For the same reason, you should not place the bed near air duct or chimney pipe. If you live in big house, make sure that there is no toilet above the bed and no stove under it. If there is a kitchen behind the bedroom wall, also do not place the head of the bed against the wall to which the stove is adjacent in the same place.

By the way, I would like to talk about one more situation that we often encounter. Sometimes the bedroom has irregular shape, she with appendix, the corners of which are not visible from the door. So, it is not recommended to place a bed in this nook, although such a solution suggests itself. The fact is that such a place is very poor in energy and is therefore not suitable for sleep. It’s better to make a wardrobe or closet there.

As you can see, the rules are quite reasonable, but often even they are not easy to follow if the bedroom has an awkward shape. And if both adults and a child sleep in the bedroom... But nevertheless, try to do at least what you can do.

But we have not yet talked about other principles by which they look for a good place for a bed - Flying Stars, or Bazhai (school of 8 houses), Xuan Kong Da Gua or Bazi (four pillars of fate). If you want to make really good Feng Shui in your home, then it’s better to invite a specialist, if not at the stage of buying an apartment, then at least BEFORE renovation so that he has more options for decisions.

We will talk about how the above methods relate, whether you should try to combine them when looking for a place for a bed, and how to do this in the next article. And now I would like to add the following.

Quite popular in our country Bazhai(8 houses), since most books are written about this method. Apparently because it seems simple. Remember 4 good and four bad directions? But Bazhai is not so simple, and besides, as usual, the authors of the books often get confused in the testimony or do not finish the story.

So, firstly, in Bazhai it is not so much the direction that is important, but, first of all, the location of the bed. Secondly, within the well-known 45-degree directions there are 15-degree directions. And it may turn out that although the general direction, for example, west, is unfavorable for you, there is a good 15-degree direction within it. So don’t try to put the bed in your good direction, neglecting the rules of, say, the school of forms. Also, in my opinion, Flying Stars are much faster and more effective, so they shouldn't be ignored either. Bazhai is not a panacea, but one of the methods. But we'll talk about this later.

A bed in a bedroom is not just an interior detail, but a functional item, and one that is used more often than all other furniture combined. A person spends about 7–8 hours sleeping. This state ensures the restoration of physical and mental strength. The bed is its design, appearance, and, of course, location significantly affects the quality of sleep.

In the bedroom, the bed occupies a central position. This main detail, and all other furnishings are selected and positioned in relation to the bed. The design of a room, in fact, is entirely based on its size and style.

In a small

Many residents of old Soviet houses are interested in the question of how to place a bed in a small bedroom. In fact, the same principles apply to both big and small. However, in small rooms, sometimes you have to resort to certain tricks to get it done.

Product size – if the bed is double, then there should be free access to it from both sides. This immediately eliminates the option when the furniture is located close to the wall, or, even worse, in the corner. can afford this.
The location of the window and door - if the openings are located opposite each other, which is not uncommon in city apartments, the location of the bed on this line is an unsuccessful solution. All that remains is to install the bed with the foot facing the door and the association with the deceased will be complete.
The best option– placing the bed perpendicular to the line, with the headboard facing the wall. But this is only possible if the distance between the footboard and the wall is at least 50–70 cm. If this is not possible, you will have to move the bed out of line and install it close to the wall.

Psychologically, this placement is unpleasant: the empty space behind the head is perceived as a threat. In this case, it is recommended to install the headboard towards the door and cover decorative partition or, for example, a bookcase.

If the window and door are located on walls perpendicular to each other, the bed is placed with the headboard to one of the blank walls.

A radical approach involves eliminating the bed from the bedroom. There are several ways to do this.

Folding option– , or between two pencil cases, forming something like a cabinet when assembled. The best option is that the bed, when disassembled, ends up with the headboard facing the wall.
Loft bed- at high ceilings This decision is not difficult to implement. The attic is formed as a canopy over the wardrobe, for example, forming a kind of niche, or it can form a single block with the wardrobe. Staircase from drawers will allow you to get to the top, and will create additional systems storage
Hanging bed– in a small bedroom, the option is not designer, but quite practical, as it provides a fairly large free area. If the ceilings are low, then hanging bed It is better to place it closer to the corner, and not in the center of the wall: the space under it can be used as a work area.

In a narrow

But how to place a bed in a narrow bedroom? the main problem in such a room there is access to the bed from both sides, those same 70 cm of free passage. Therefore, the choice here comes down to determining a place where this access can be provided.

The best option is also to place it across the room with the headboard facing the long wall.. From a psychological point of view, this arrangement seems to be the safest: the head is protected by the wall, the window and door remain in sight. But if the distance between the footboard and the wall is less than 50 cm, this option disappears.
You can install the bed with the headboard against a short wall, if in this case free passage on both sides of the bed is possible. If the window opening is formed on a long wall, this placement does not cause any complaints. If the headboard is close to the window, you need to take care of very thick curtains.
In small and narrow bedrooms, placing the bed in a corner is allowed. You can reduce the unpleasant impression by doing a paradoxical thing: install shelves above the headboard, you can even have mezzanines near the ceiling and place a bedside table with a tall lamp or even a section of shelving about 2/3 of the wall high close to the bed. Together, all the shelves form a conditional wall niche in which the bed is placed. Psychologically, such placement is perceived as safer.

The same method of “compensation” is also used in cases where the only placement option is a bed placed in a corner, close to two opposite walls. Access in this case should be from the foot.

A loft bed in such a situation is the most competent way out of the situation: both the area is freed up and the sleeping place is outside the scope of the usual rules.

If the area is large enough, then when placing the bed you can take into account not only the rules of ergonomics, but also the requirements of style.

The classic concept suggests emphasizing the central role of the bed in the bedroom. But, however, it is still recommended to refuse to install a bed in the middle of the room: the free space behind the head causes discomfort. This problem can, of course, be solved with the help of a canopy, but it is much easier to install the bed with the headboard against the wall.

A room is rarely just a sleeping area. If there is enough space, there is a corner for reading or studying on the computer, for a dressing table - a boudoir area, for chests of drawers and cabinets - a storage area. These zones can be located in different ways. If the bedroom is organized according to the principle of central symmetry, then with any number of objects, the bed remains the absolute center of the room and is installed exactly in the center of the wall.
If a bedroom area is formed along one wall - a bed, a bedside table, and shelves and a TV are placed on the opposite wall, the room is divided into two zones according to the principle of axial symmetry. In this case, the position of the bed does not change, since it still occupies the center of its zone.
IN modern styles, where grouping is encouraged, the room is divided into separate areas, each of which has its own center. In this case, subject to all other rules, the bed moves to the center of its zone.

The following video will show the most common and interesting options placement of beds in the bedroom:

Near the window

No less pressing is the question of how to place the bed in the bedroom by the window. This arrangement is a forced decision. The reason is simple: the window opens periodically, and in the summer, sometimes it doesn’t close at all, and lying on the bed under the window, it’s easy to catch a cold in the draft. The second reason is that if the room is located on the east side, earlier awakening is guaranteed. But sometimes such placement is the only possible one.

The best option is window niche. The bed, placed with its side to the window, appears between two walls - protection for the head and legs, and from the sides it is perceived as open. In this case, the window sill, if there is one at all, should be as low as possible, only slightly rising above the level of the bed.
Bed near the window opening– here the bed and the window are separated by a window sill, in this case it should be higher to serve as a shelf or bedside table.
Bed headboard towards window– is considered the worst of the options. Moreover, it will not be possible to compensate for the unpleasant impression of defenselessness with the help of a high headboard. But compared to the case when the bed is located in the corner, and the open window sash is above the head of the sleeper, this is still a better solution.

If we are talking about small bedroom V country house, where windows are located on three sides, the problem of discomfort is completely eliminated. The window here is perceived as part of the background, and not as an opening.

It is best if the wall that touches the headboard is external.
But experts have a negative attitude towards transformers, like a sofa bed. The bed should be intended only for sleeping. Even the option with folding bed in the closet - and it will be better.
Another requirement that is little consistent with the modern concept is free space under the bed. According to teaching, there should be no drawers or shelves here, even if the bed is located on the podium.
The bed should not be visible from the entrance. Fortunately, this refers to the entrance to the home, and not the room. In most cases, the layout of apartments is such that it does not allow you to see the living spaces from the front door, but you still need to make sure of this.
