The Basics of Bed Placement

Let’s start with the basics. Imagine a basic square room – I’ll teach you how to place your bed in this space because it’s one that most of us probably have experience with (I’m sitting in one right now!).

Many of you might instinctively place your bed in the furthest corner or somewhere that allows for good circulation around the room. It’s essential to avoid placing your bed directly in front of the door, so you’ll probably place it like this:

It’s close, but it’s not best when you’re looking for feng shui. Let me explain further.

Feng Shui Principles for Bed Placement

Much of bed placement advice comes from feng shui principles, which address these common concerns. The key question is: where should you place the bed in a simple square room?

The answer lies in the “command position.”

The Command Position

The command position is essentially the part of the room that offers the most protection and the best view of the door.

This positioning allows you to see the door at all times, which is crucial. In a simple room with only one door, you want to ensure that your bed is in the furthest corner from the door.

This is because the door is the main source of energy, or “chi,” rushing into the room.

If your room has windows, they also introduce energy, but in a straightforward setup with just a door, focus on its position.

So Where Should You Place the Bed?

Place your bed in the furthest corner from the door, similar to how we showed you might instinctively do it at the beginning. However, feng shui principles suggest leaving a small gap between the bed and the wall to allow both occupants to get in and out of the bed easily, without having to climb over each other.

So, the ideal positioning would look like this:

Another critical aspect of the command position is to avoid placing your bed directly in front of the door. As we mentioned earlier, this is where the most energy flows into the room, which can be disruptive while you sleep.

Plus, having your feet pointing towards the door is not only uncomfortable but also considered undesirable in feng shui.
